I didn’t really get time to think about these much this year as I was too busy cleaning up the house and packing away the Xmas decorations (everything but the tree, which is still up with its lights on). I do know that I would like to try to send each of my grandmothers a letter (via snail mail) once each month. I have no idea if I’ll even get to do that for January, let alone keeping up with it all year, but I’m going to try. I myself love getting something personal in the mail alongside all the damn bills and catalogs, so it would be nice to give that back a little.
Also I need to try to return to my sensible eating habits, which fell by the wayside a bit when I was briefly pregnant last year (had to start eating lots or I would have lost weight, which is a no-no for a mommy-to-be). And I should drink more water.
I bought a blank book a couple of years ago that still has nothing written in it—I’m going to use it to record all the books I’ve read, beginning 1 Jan 2003.
Not really any other resolutions per se. I’m too tired to think about planning ahead! But I am curious as to what others are doing. Does anyone else still set aside any time on the first day of a new year to reflect on the year before and think about the upcoming one?

You should also talk to Susan (from book group). She's kept yearly spirals of her reading list for a couple of years now and I know she reads as much (if not more than) as you do.
