2010 Resolutions and 2011 Resolutions
My resolutions for 2010 were to:
* run a challenge to read and discuss a nineteenth century novel each month - Mostly done. I could not make my way through *Wives and Daughters* but otherwise I did it. Will certainly continue next year.
* continue with the 50 books by authors of colour challenge - I finished the challenge and started the Queerbooks challenge which I find noticeably easier. I can just read off my shelves, which is quite revealing as to my priorities and biases I think. I plan to go back to the 50 books by authors of colour challenge next year.
* make more home made gifts - I did indeed. Also, I have abandoned buying wrapping paper and I am either recycling old paper or making little bags to put things in.
* to eat in a healthy way - an improvement over 2009 in 2010. Will continue in 2010.
* participating in the Unplug Your Kids challenge regularly, though maybe not weekly. This is a challenge online:http://unplugyourkids.com/unplugged-project/
Completely failed to do even one but we will have another go this year. Might be easier now Pearl is older and I am not currently working.
And, as a bonus, in 2010 I managed to have a baby! Not to be repeated in 2011....
