Welcome 2013!

In 2013, I would like to continue to simplify my life and do interesting things.  I am planning on training for and completing a triathlon, starting school for Montessori certification and making some sort of final decision on moving.  Thus far in 2013 I've been feeling a little sluggish but I am setting myself up for success!

I just read an article that insists on 15 minutes a day for organizing yourself and I'm going to do it 11:45am - noon -- T.O. time aka Total Organization.

BODY - I always feel better when I am regularly exercising.  I took a few days off during the holidays and now its turned into 3 weeks so I'm due to get back in the gym.  Staying on course is easier for me with an actual deadline so I am going to aim for a triathlon in June.  I signed up for a triathlon swim class at the YMCA beginning next week!

MIND - I signed up for the open house at the Princeton Montessori School.  I am hoping that the program is the right one for me.  It means I would start school in June!  If I apply and am accepted, of course.

SOUL -  Already finished my first book of 2013 "Pillars of the Earth."  I watched the Golden Globes and want to go to the movies so bad.  Alas other things get in the way when I have free time, like looking for another house.  We have not made a final decision (as usual).

We are aggressively de-cluttering the house.  Its hard to get rid of stuff that is brand new or you might use in the future.  Our policy has been if we are not going to use it for the next 6 months, it goes in a box.  We rented a storage space and are putting the boxes in it.  The house feels so much better without the excess in it.  I have put the kids' school on notice so we won't have to pay tuition until the last minute before their spot is taken.  In theory, we could put the house on quickly should a house worth moving for become available.  But really we just need to decide what the heck we're doing in the next few weeks or we are here for at least another school year and the window for moving without it affecting the kids too much gets even smaller.

I'm excited for 2013.  I want to get some stuff done.
