And with every new year comes the inevitable resolutions. I sort of hate to call them resolutions because then it feels like you can only make them at the beginning of the year. So instead of posting my resolutions, I'll list my goals for 2011. To keep me honest, I'm going to set up a new page at the top that lists them all. I'll cross them out as I accomplish each one. With some hard work and determination, I hope to have them all crossed off by the end of the year!
