I know people shouldn't wait for a new year to have goals, but why not use it as a little push to get the show on the road? So here are my seven new years resolutions for 2012.

1) Stop checking work e-mail from home: Unless it's something personal or for fun, I'm going to stop working from home. I've had two bosses plus my boss's boss tell me to enjoy the weekend. I'm a bit of a workaholic (and get it from my mother), but I'm going to make a point to enjoy myself 100% off the clock.

2) Eat out at fast food restaurants less: Vegetarian or not, I eat too many fatty, greasy foods (like French Fries) from fast food places. My wallet and my body will thank me. My goal is to only eat out twice per month. That's reasonable and realistic instead of once or twice a week like I've been doing.

If you've read "Lessons in 2010, hopes for 2011," you already know I had some trials and some perks this year, but here's a more upbeat post about things I truly enjoyed in 2010 that I didn't know about before.

Matter of fact, my mother got me an "Eclipse" umbrella with Taylor Lautner on it. Think I didn't rock that umbrella in the rain with all kinds of pride. I love the hell out of those books and movies! I own them all, including the one about Bree and "Midnight Sun."

2. Netflix: I remember co-workers at a job I had in 2006 talking about Netflix, but I

Lessons in 2010, hopes for 2011

Today has been a really relaxing day off. I raced to the post office before noon to get some good music (R. Kelly's "Love Letter" is the ish) I'd ordered, permed my hair, put away Christmas decorations, ate pizza and Sour Patch Kids for breakfast (not all vegetarians eat healthy all the time *shrug*), cracked up laughing at Steve Harvey as the host of one of my favorite television shows (and the only game show I'll watch) "Family Feud" and put the last money on my Chicago card before it expires. Basically I've done nothing useful but a bunch of fun stuff. I did finish the last few pages of a book called "The Summer Son" by Craig Lancaster. The book was kind of dark, but I'll be damned if it wasn't realistic.

All right, anyway, let's get to the point of the blog. While I was drying my hair I started thinking about what lessons I've learned from 2010 and what I want to take and leave for 2011. So here it goes.
