I had a great year in 2009. I was able to compete in a national service competition in Kansas. I had a lead role in a professional play. I graduated culinary school! I went on a cruise. I lived by the Atlantic Ocean. I got pregnant, which was a big dream come true. I completed a culinary internship. I moved to Utah Valley to join the rest of my world. Tom and I have of course had loads of fun together, as we always do. For 2010, I'm hoping to keep the ball rolling and check some other things off the list. You know, it's a shame it's in list form because the journey really is half the fun. But lists have their place in the world. I LOVE lists. Plus, I'm hoping that if I write them down, and send them out to the blogging universe I will have a better chance of accomplishing my new year's resolutions. So here are some things I plan to do this year:
1. Book at least 12 catering/craft services gigs this year. I'd like to average one a month, but I know some will have more than others and January's going to be busy, what with having a baby and all.
2. Have a baby. I like to put a few things on my list that I know I'll be able to cross off.
3. Learn the entire Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance and perform it for whoever will watch. I wanted to learn it last year and never did. I don't think people would have enjoyed watching me perform it pregnant, though.
4. Be healthy enough to perform Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance in the customary leotard and high heels.
5. Read 6 novels. I'm not usually a slow reader, but I know I'll have a lot on my plate with the new world of being a mom, so I'm trying to be realistic.
6. I have a cookbook idea. I should at least be able to get a rough draft written. Plus, there's a lot of at-home research I can do to make sure the recipes work, etc. So, I will write the rough draft of my cookbook. More details to follow on the actual idea.

1. I too love lists
2. Great resolutions
3. Do you do out-of-town gigs i.e. Bakersfield?
4. I'm with you on the Beyonce. We've got to catch up with Connie, Michelle, & Nicole. But my resolution is to at least pull of the JT version. Just being realistic.
5. Love you lots!!!
I'm a HUGE list fan. And this list looks great! I want to learn Beyonce with you...'put your hands up!'
Big fan of list too! Must come from mom. If I do something that wasn't on my list like eat lunch I add it just so I can cross it off. Here's my comments~
1.At first I thought good luck with the catering now that you have a babe, but then I remember you only have one right now and will still be able to accomplish a lot. (pause, I'm remembering those days :) )
2.You did a great job, with Agustus the great and magnificient.
3.I can't wait to watch. Do you think we can get Sean in on it?
4.I'm with you on this one. I think it's on my resolution list every year.
5. I would love to read too. Until I prioritize my life better i just can't. When I start I don't want to stop and everything gets put on the backburner at home.
6.It'll be awesome I'm sure.
Love you lots.
I love your list! So glad I found your blog...Heber misses you! Hope you are all doing well!
