Resolutions
These are what my family is working on:

1) No more Wal*Mart

2) Buy everything as locally as we can, particularly organic foods. We're not only thinking about carbon footprints but also health-wise. (I have made one exception, though. We bought locally made Camembert cheese. It tasted like a barn floor, and I don't mean a freshly cleaned one. Makes me wonder where they stash those things to ripen. Won't be buying that one again. :()

I really should make one about losing weight. I need to get my blood pressure down.

So, what's on your list then? :)

1. Don't really make them
because I always break them. I would like to quit smoking again. Did it for a few months this year. Cut down, but still enjoy a few a day, and more when I am drinking. We'll see.

Have a good 2010. :hi:

3. We're discussing pulling our savings
out of the big bank and moving to a credit union, as huffington suggested.

The big bank is making this easier for us by slapping us with a new and exciting different sort of bullshit fee each month. Third month in a row we've been in there raising a ruckus til they removed it.

8. That's a good resolution. Hard to keep sometimes (for me) but I think
it's the mature way to go. :hug:
