2009 is Cached: Not Another Reflective Post

I thought about doing one of those year-end recaps, but I'm over 2009. It wasn't especially bad or good, I'm just over it and more than ready to look forward.

A couple things to work on for 2010:

-I'm not really in bad shape when it comes to health and fitness so I don't feel the need to burden myself with some sort of workout resolution. I'm good about keeping myself in check. When the extra pounds start to push 5 or higher I work on it. Otherwise I just go as I feel like it.

-I cooked a lot last year and I plan to keep it up. I'd like to thank allrecipes.com for constantly giving me the confidence to tackle new things.

-Currently, I need to try to avoid becoming a gossipy old woman from a Jane Austen novel. I like making friends and I like when people feel close to me. One cheap way to do this is to put myself dead in the center of everything whether I belong there or not. A few weeks ago I tried to set up two coworkers. I regularly pass on juicy information to friends with relish. I've been trying to cut this habit for decades. It's dangerous territory and the instant I suffer any backlash I want out and immediately regret my decision to open my big mouth. I need to try to cut back on this ASAP. (I'm realistic. I know I can't give up gossip...it's a little essential to having friendships with girls. But I need to stop throwing myself into it with such abandon.)

-2010 is the year I finally get a good job. It just has to be. I'm tired of living at the poverty line and limiting all travel because I can't afford any frivolous expense.

Other than those things I can't think of any life plans worth noting. I'd like to get to Chicago for a visit and I'm still juggling plans to get to Paris (all of this is conditional on the good job plan).
