lights & a resloution

Little man wanted to help out mom and dad, and put some Christmas lights away.
He did a good job, other then when he tried to eat them a few times.









A few of my resolutions this year include things that will help us save $.


So, in order for me to really do one of my goals, I am going to post it on my blog so I know I'm really accountable. Because I can't lie to my blog.

One of my main goals is that I won't buy any new clothes for myself until my birthday, which is middle of March. To some of you, you're thinking, "2 1/2 months?? 2 1/2 months is hard for you? you're pathetic!" and some of you are thinking, "2 1/2 months!! I could never go 2 1/2 months!!"
Obviously I tend to agree more with the second group of people.
That is why this is my goal. :)
I'm not going to lie, whilst returning things at the mall, it has been hard to not "browse" clothing. Because i know "browsing" leads to buying in my case.
But it has been refreshing and I'm proud of myself and I know I can make it to my goal!
by the way, I'm not planning on going buck-wild shopping on my birthday.
Maybe the Mr. will take me to get a shirt or something, but I'm going to set another shopping goal in March for another few months and see how long I can keep this up.
p.s. I had a friend in college who went a whole year without buying new clothes for herself.
She's my idol.
Not sure I'll ever get there.
Baby steps. Right?!

Did anyone else make a shopping resolution? or am I the only one?
