New Year's Eve!

It's New Year's Eve, and I can't believe how quickly the holidays came and went.

Does that mean it's time for resolutions? Ugh.
1. Organize my scrapbooking supplies. Thanks to Alex, I now have a nice storage system for my paper and some supplies. I'll have to reorganize my room a bit, so that will be exciting!
2. Read more books! I have a problem. I adopt more books than I am able to read. I'm using Winter Break to catch up on some of the books (See post below) with hopes my momentum will carry me into the next semester. I have three classes next semester, so that means less time for "leisure reading." So I will try to read a book before I adopt another one (or five).
3. Take/print more photos. I know I take a ton already (just check the folders on my computer!) but I would like to get over my fear of looking like a tourist and just take pictures of everything and anything. Yay.
4. Watch more TV. Weird, but I like a few shows, and I want to keep up with them! I am OBSESSED with boxed sets of shows and watching them on the internet. This will help me in the long run!
5. Save more money. 'Nuff said. If you look at most of my "resolutions" they all lead to this!
Organizing my supplies in one central location will let me see what I already have and force me to use those supplies before hitting the scrapbook store (it's literally on my way home!).
Reading more of the books in my collection before hitting the used book stores again will hopefully keep me from adding to the maddness. I took a photo once of all the books I have waiting for me to read...now I think I need a whole shelf or two to accomodate them all!
I took care of the printing more photos part. I know it sounds counter-productive, but I have a pre-paid plan with Shutterfly for 200 prints. It's cheaper than printing without! (200 prints for $20). NICE.
TV...TV...it will keep me from spending money on going to the movies?? HAHA!

So there you go. Goals. Resolutions. Can I eat now?
