I am terrible about making resolutions, and also terrible about keeping them. Last year: no resolutions. The year before: losing weight, of course. However, I made a list for my maternity leave time, and I stuck to it and even surpassed it, so I’ve resolved to make a 2011 list. Maybe not resolutions, just some things I’d like to happen:
1) Spend more quality time with my kids. Play with them, even if I get frustrated that Spencer won’t play Memory correctly or Henry just wants to chew the cars.
2) Lose 30 lbs (hopefully made possible by Jennie’s BiggestBloggingLoser competition and my running goals)
3) Cut white pasta and soda from my diet and sweetener from my tea and coffee
4) Run the Gasparilla 5k (February)
5) Run the Turkey Trot 10k (November)
6) See six movies in the theater (this is not so much for me, but my husband who loves the movies and we haven’t gone at all in 2010). Included in this, go on eight dates with my husband sans children.
7) Read 125 books (I usually surpass this, but with my other goals I don’t want my reading to go by the wayside)
8) Hang up my clothes or put them in the hamper (this sounds simple, but I always throw my clothes on my dresser and then sort them when the pile gets too high or company’s coming … I know, I’m a guy).
9) Re-plant my front flower beds and keep them weeded and properly tidy (and alive)
10) Get the deck done and the backyard spruced up appropriately.

Great list! Good luck on keeping your resolutions this year.
I ran Gasparilla many years ago and it was a lot of fun. Good luck!
I walked it in the stroller walk two years ago, but I've never even contemplated running it before now.
I was terrible about the clothes-hanging thing, too, but I've gotten better (still not cured) since we moved into the new room. I tend to use my reading nook too much for that kind of stuff (can't actually get to the chair right now, though that has more to do w/ unfolded laundry and Christmas stuff)
