2009

Apparently everyone is supposed to contemplate 2008 and how to live the new year. Here is what I came up with for myself:

1) Live in more of a local/environmentally conscious way

Join a CSA

Procure less from big chains

Shop at local businesses

Buy used and recycled materials

Eat at local restaurants- specifically those with local food themes and are environmentally conscious (ie an new  restaurant opening in Durham: Eno Restaurant and Market)

2) Be more fiscally responsible

More dinner parties

  More game nights

Cook more for self

3) New hobbies/old hobbies

Garden more

Bake

Sew

Knit

Exercise in other ways to improve my dancing (ie cardio, flexibility, strength)

4) Take more time for me

Don't overbook 

5) See my family more

Visit parents every other month.
