The 365 List

I really don't like using the word "resolution". I never keep them and then feel like a failure at the end of the year. I'm trying something new this year: The 365 List.

3 things to work on

1. Spend less. No more cookbooks or yarn this year. I've got enough of both to last a year. Believe me. I can make do with what I have in a lot of areas. I don't know why I have half the crap I do.
   
2. Green it up. I really can be incredibly wasteful. Paper plates for cat treat distribution*, paper towels for drying my hands. I can knit and I love dishcloths why not put them to actual use.
   
3. Smile more. I can be so negative. Whenever I get negative, I need to stop myself and say at least one positive thing.

6 Things I want to do

1. Choose one vegan cookbook a month and only make recipes from that book.
2. Use my bread maker at least 2 times a month.
3. Make one dinner entree using tofu.
4. Make one sweater that I actually wear.
5. Attend knit nite again and then go at least once a month.
6. Read 18 books (which would be one more than I managed last year.)

5 Things to get rid of

1. Self criticism
2. Self doubt
3. Bottled water (see Number 3 in "Things to work on")
4. Non-vegan products (as I run out of them)
5. Excuses- either I did something or I didn't. Either I'm going to follow through or I'm not.

*As soon as I finish the mega pack of plates hubadub brought home from Sam's, I've got 4 melamine plates waiting in the wings. Too bad the mega pack is gonna last a year.
