I love new hopes!

I ♥ new hopes and goals! Frankly, I think I'm better at laying out the to-do's instead of executing them. what the heck, right? No worries, I perform. I just find that in group projects, my strength is in preparing the strategy.

Anyway, Give Me Five Monday's theme is all about hopes and goals for the new year. I will try to be as realistic as I can.

Hope #1:

I ♥ the beach. And so this year, I hope to be able to vacation in one. It sucks having to live so far from one.

Hope #2:

I ♥ being fit, but it's been ages since I was. I hate it! This year, as with every year, I resolve to be more mindful about my weight. My waistline is far from that lady's in the image, but it sure is motivating.

Hope #3:

I ♥ new clothes. I hate shopping though. Honestly. My girlfriends think I'm missing out on a few XX chromosomes. I really hate it. But I have no choice -- I have to build a better wardrobe this year. Major happenings require majorly gorgeous clothing.

Hope #4:

I ♥ get-togethers with families and friends. This year, I hope to be able to reunite with more of them. I'm not getting any younger and neither are my loved ones.

Hope #5:

I ♥ babies and well... I think this is the year my husband and I are ready to build your family. :) Yey!
