Facebook is inundated with updates from everyone kissing 2009 good-bye, and welcoming in the promise of a new year.  I too am looking forward to the new year, and am excited for what opportunities it holds.  Compared to where I was last year, I am in a much better place.  Starting this coming week, I’ll have a full teaching schedule on the weekends, with spots for a few more on the weekdays (if I feel up to being busy again), and I have a nice schedule/routine for my students.  And, as a bonus, all my students are getting better!

Things at work are much different than last year.  This time last year, we were just about to set off for Las Vegas for CES 2009, a little uncertain and wary of our approach for the new Mutant brand.  Now, with our products in at least some stores, we (or at least me!) are much more certain of our direction and have some solid ground to build off of.  This is going to be a tough year, harder than the last, hopefully though there is much more to come of it.

I’m sure everyone else has their resolutions, but here’s some of mine.  I hope airing them out will keep me reminded of them.

• Get to work at a reasonable hour ( i.e. 8am or so)
• Cook more meals at home to save money and calories.
• Try to cook new foods for these meals, and keep good records.
• Save up enough money for at least one nice long vacation later this year (NY with Erin or England with family, or both).
• Spend money wiser.
• Try and see my “out-of-town” friends more often.
• Keep organized enough to maintain my current studio, and possible increase it.
• Keep work moving at a faster pace, and get enough progress to earn more money!

This post will be up for a while as a sticky, and I’ll update this list as necessary.  But, there it is!  Should be an exciting year!
