Since I didn't post 2012's resolutions until September, I don't feel THAT bad that I only finished about 25% and that I'm reusing the same list (almost). With that said, here's 2013's new years resolutions with some slight modifications.
PERSONAL ENRICHMENT
- Try out one of my business ideas (or develop a new one and try it)
- Make a farm fruits cookbook (several for each fruit type we grow).
Learn to sew - sewed a baby crib fitted sheet- Learn a new word starting with every word of the alphabet
- Bees Knees - urban slang for awesome. That's the bees knees.
- Chuffed - pleased with one's self. Presidential candidates are often chuffed with themselves for having proposed a solution to a problem, but typically lack substance or details on how to go about it.
- Effeminate - marked by an unbecoming delicacy or overrefinement, having feminine qualities untypical of a man, not manly in appearance or manner.
- Frenetic - frenzied or frantic. I become frenetic, at times, when talking about topics important to me.
- Nebulous - Lacking definite form, shape, or content. The Brooklyn Free School has a nebulous curriculum
- Prodigious - Remarkably or impressively great in extent, size, or degree. D’Souza is a prodigious author of conservative tomes.
- Revile - to criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner. Overspending during the current administration was reviled at the New Orleans Investment Conference.
- Troubadour - 11th-13th century poets in France, Spain, and Italy who composed songs of love.
- Take a dance class
- Get flexible enough to lay my head and chest on legs (and maybe even do the splits, or almost)
- Learn a new song on guitar
- Learn a new song on the piano
Read 1 new non-fiction book - Read Deep Nutrition- Read 1 new classic

Floss everytime I brush- Don't cuss ever
