Prioritize would be an excellent one for me as well. I constantly do tasks that are less annoying than the one with the most pressing deadline. Our first scuba class is tonight, but we don't get in the pool until tomorrow. Nervous but excited! I love your “Three P’s,” Melia! Prioritize would be an excellent one for me as well.

Not inspiring guilt is a big one! As per usual, I have a bunch of goals I'm always working on, but I'm letting these "Three P's" guide the way I live this year. 1. Be Present - I daydream a lot, even when in conversation or watching something on TV (ahem, football) and would rather be focused on whatever it is I'm doing at the moment. 2. Plan. Not that I don't already, but I'd like to manage my workload better so I can avoid the alternating periods of procrastination and scrambling to meet deadlines. 3. Prioritize. Throughout the day, assess what I'm doing and ask myself if this is the best use of my time right now. Oftentimes I'll do what's easiest rather than what's most important at the moment. Good luck with scuba! So exciting, even though you know me -- snorkeling pushes my limits quite enough. From what I've heard, though, it's easier to breathe through a regulator than through a snorkel. I like your guidelines for New Year’s Resolutions. Not inspiring guilt is a big one!

Rollerskating and hula hooping are two of my favorite activities (and not to brag, but I'm actually really good at both). Angie, I'm not familiar with any of those things. They sound super lame, so I don't think you'll get any takers. Parisa, I'm still a little freaked out so don't be too impressed till I actually do it. I think it'll be pretty sweet, though. I like your "What Not to Wear" idea-- I would like to branch out a little from my sundress and Reefs uniform as well. Your shoes sound super cute. And yay for visiting this summer! Stay for awhile.

It's definitely something I'm way to chicken to do, it's cool that you're so brave. I've decided to take all the lessons of "What Not To Wear" to heart and start dressing better in the new year/decade. So far, it's been fun and guilt-free (and I just found this awesome pair of silver pointy-toed flats that I'm overly excited about :P). Also, I've started to look for airfares in August, since I have like 4 weeks off or something similarly lengthy. I'll let you know... Good luck with scuba diving–that sounds amazing!

Signed up for a hoola hooping and flow class, and buying roller skates! Going to attempt roller derby this summer. Also, being more creative! Writing a book with some cool friends I know that are awesome. I’ve made 2010 the year of getting back to childhood delights. Signed up for a hoola hooping and flow class, and buying roller skates!

The last time we did that on the North Shore, we were rewarded with $1 coconuts that we filled with rum. A good sign. And I don't hate the Gill and Tracey show either. Oooh, that’s a really good one.
