New Years Resolutions

I've never been a New Years Resolutions kind of girl but this year it just feels like a good thing to do. Here are four things I hope will keep me inspired this year:

1) Read all of Jane Austen's novels
I'm kind of ashamed of myself for not doing this before now. I love Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, I think I've read Emma. I've started Mansfield Park several times. It's time to read them all! I realized I hadn't when I watched the Jane Austen Book Club movie on the way home from Christmas. Love random inspiration.

2) Entertain once a month
I love having people over and cooking for them. We don't do this enough and I hope that making a tangible goal will remind me to do this and stop putting it off because I'm too busy.

3) Watch one movie from the American Film Institutes Top 100 Movies a month
I've been trying to watch the movies on this list for years. I've watched quite a few but I'm hoping making a goal will help me move more quickly through it. First up, The Graduate.

I hope writing this down this way will help keep me accountable and remind me of my goals. Here's to 2011!
