Friday Five: 1/4/13: Five Resolutions I'll Probably Break

Update to Friday Five: Today will be the last Friday Five we post on the blog. It has been great posting these for the last year. I just feel that the site needs to use Friday for a new post. So Ill be dedicating Friday to authors. We will feature interviews, author posts and much more. So look out for that starting next week.

It's Friday so that means Friday Five that was inspired by Author Cheryl Renee Herbsman. Our friends at Eve's Fan Garden and Page Turners have also taken part in this meme. Each Friday we will post a question or topic, then respond with our five choices.

Five Resolutions I'll Probably Break

To try and begin to use electronic calendar instead of written calendar by hand.
I plan to read more books out of my comfort genres.
Eat less junk food
Try to keep my new bookshelves in the order I placed all books
Try not to read till 5 or 6am during the week.

Eating healthier
Exercise more often
Stress less
Try to reduce my time on the iPad
Balance my checkbook

Try losing weight but end up falling off the bandwagon
Trying to not take on so much at one time
Learning how to have people help me do things
Don't let my OCD bother me so much
Learn to have a messy house once in a while

Attending the Breaking Dawn Part 2 Black Carpet premier in Los Angeles and the Amazing AFTER PARTY!!!
Getting picked to represent #TeamDauntless for the Insurgent book release event

Miami International Book Fair 2012 (It was my first time ever going and I felt like a little kid in a candy store. All of those books and all of those authors – I was on cloud 9.)
After reading the Evolution of Mara Dyer – That crazy feeling I had that stayed with me days after. I honestly felt like I was losing my head. Very few books have ever had that kind of effect on me. It was just THAT good.
Going to all the wonderful books signings and meeting the authors and other book lovers that share my passion.
