What's your New Year's resolution for 2009? How did you do with 2008's?

I already recapped 2008s resolutions, but for 2009 I resolve to do the following:

1. Continue to reduce the clutter–by adding bookshelves, donating stuff, and throwing crap away.
2. Improve my relationships with Ben, Jaycie, and Maxwell–by going to breakfast, lunch, dinner, or coffee/cocoa once a month to have some 1:1 time.
3. Improve my ability to handle stress–by using the centering techniques I already know and possibly learning some new ways to center myself when I am overwhelmed.
4. Read 40 books. Specifically, I want to read the following this year: Infinite Jest, Choke, The Satanic Verses, and all the Philip Roth I haven't read yet. the Philip Roth books Jodi recommends.

Highlights:

• Accepted into Ph.D program
• Trip to Michigan
• Trip to South Dakota
• All A's in my first semester
• Paid off huge amounts of debt
• My white board
• Macbook
• THE HOLD STEADY
• Wesley was born

Status of resolutions:

1. Reduce the clutter.  I did well on this, but still have a long way to go. It will probably be on the '09 list.

2. Include more organics and less plastic in our daily use. Pur water filter and reusable bags have helped me accomplish the less plastics. Needs improvement on the organics.

3. Decrease the amount of drama.  I think I did very well on this. Nothing more to say.

4. Read more. I want to read 29 books this year.  46 books read

When do you take down your holiday decorations?

Yesterday–December 26th. I love having them up while there are reasons to celebrate, but once the presents are gone the tree and decorations go too.
