mini-resolutions

Since we're at the beginning of the month I have to post my mini monthly resolutions to make sure I do them. I just have 2 this month, for $20 each because I don't think I'll have lots of spare cash this month as I recover from the holidays ;)

1. Leave the house on time for work every day. I usually leave 5-10 minutes late and since I am only 15 minutes away from work it doesn't make a huge difference. When it took me 40 minutes to an hour to get here I was way better at leaving on time. So I want to get back into that habit.

2. Bring lunch to work every day instead of buying it. I don't cook much at home as the kitchen is really my roommate's domain, and I'm also lazy when it comes to cooking if I'm just cooking for myself. But I'm sick of foodcourt food and it's really not good for me anyways even the "healthy" stuff. So unless we have a team potluck lunch or something I'm bringing lunch to work every day :)

So far on day 1 of these tasks I'm 2 for 2 :)

Today's going to be busy busy busy. I have regular work, a tutoring session and a party to fit in. Not bad just busy :) Everyone at work is back from their holidays now. I've been entertained by hearing people complain that other people must have been sitting at their desks. Nothing like a good morning whining session to know that everyone's back. ;)

2008 movie list

willow_kat talked about keeping track of the movies she watched in 2008 and since I do tend to watch a lot of movies I thought I'd give that a go along with my booklist.

( ACTION! )

Wrapping up Christmas

Woot! I've finished off my Christmas with two awesome gifts that are both perfect for me. Jo got me a Wizard of Oz day by day calendar which I am putting on my desk at work since it's sadly lacking in Oz stuff :) Then tonight Dell told me she got me the second part to a book I'd leant to her but I couldn't remember what book I'd leant to her at all. Turns out it was The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor which is a fantastic spin on the Alice in Wonderland story. I had no idea a sequel had been written! Fantastic surprise and I can't wait to read it! I've done 2 books already and am into my third of the year and it's a good page turner so I hope to be on to the Alice (or Alyss if you will) books by this weekend :) I love my friends :)
