Yes, it is January 4th and I am just now getting to making my resolutions. I hope my tardiness is not a theme for 2012. But better late than never, right!
:: Operation Happy has officially launched. If I had to think of one word that I want for my 2012 theme it would be happy. 2011 was rough and it is time for some good ol' fashion happiness around here. So with that theme in mind, I am bringing the happiness back in the form of planned weekends with friends, good books, more date nights, and breaking out the good wine on a weeknight just for the hell of it.
:: Get my ass back in the gym. I think about 98% of the population has this same resolution. It makes sense after the gluttony of the holidays. So yesterday, I officially ended my 2 month long hiatus from working out and joined the local YMCA. And I have to admit my 45 minute run yesterday felt pretty awesome.
:: Learn how to make polenta and Irish soda bread. I never attempted either of these before. I think they will be fun to add to the repertoire.
:: Find me some kick ass babysitters! I don't even need to explain that one to all you mamas out there.
:: Jump into online investing. I have a 401K and such, but I have never bought and sold individual stocks on my own. I want to learn a bit more about how it works and see if I can make some extra mad money on the side.
:: Get our budget back in order. With the selling of our house in Austin and moving to Fort Worth, everything in our budget has changed. So it is time to get refocused, making sure that we are spending and saving our money wisely.
2012, I have a good feeling about you. Happy New Year everyone!

I love that you're calling it Operation Happy! Here's one of my favoritest-ever polenta recipes that is such excellent comfort food: http://www.rachaelraymag.com/Recipes/rachael-ray-magazine-recipe-search/rachael-ray-30-minute-meals/vegetarian-pumpkin-polenta-with-spinach-and-white-beans
