I have vowed that 2010 is going to be a better year for me than 2009 was. I will take more time to do things for myself, I will be more productive, I am going to learn new things and breakthrough old barriers. Whew! that is a lot for just one year!

One challenge for me in '09 was keeping up with the housework. It seems like 80% of my time is spent in the kitchen! I'm either clearing off the kitchen table, which can be a catch-all for everything, preparing food, doing dishes, emptying the dishwasher... and the list goes on and on.
