New Things in the New Year

Okay, so as promised I am back. This time with thoughts about what this year will bring:

1. Uncertainty. As in, I am uncertain about whether or not I will have the same job in the next six months. Our company is being sold, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is very up in the air whether or not my department will remain here. And I'm not going anywhere.

2. Learning. As in, I may be learning to be a Middle School English teacher if my formerly mentioned job disappers. I have enough credits in English to get a Florida teaching certificate (I was an ENglish minor in school). I'm actually a little excited about this...granted, I am praying that my job will stay the same and I won't have to worry about a career change, but the prospect of teaching English (and getting summers off, wow) is a teensy bit appealing. We shall see. I'm glad I have a backup option.

3. Eating. As in, Mr. Jones and I will be eating much more natural and healthy food this year. I feel like 2009 was my big awakening about food and its true effects on our health. So in 2010, I will be using my new Nourishing Traditions cookbook, making as many things from scratch as I can, and eliminating high fructose corn syrup, white sugar, and white flour from most of our diet (all about the 80/20).

4. Crafting. As in, I will continue on the crafting spree that I started earlier this month. I have really been inspired to turn off the TV and MAKE THINGS! Plus my Christmas presents all got rave reviews, so the goal is to keep the tide flowing with crafted gifts for the rest of this year. Not to mention a few fun crafty things for myself. I might just start taking pictures and posting them here, wait and see.

There you have it, 2010 and the things that will be on my mind New Year's Day. I'll post my resolutions here on Friday so I have a place to keep myself accountable. See you in the NEW YEAR!
