FMM::New Year's Resolutions

I usually don't make new years resolutions, because when I did, I ALWAYS broke them. This year, however, I feel like I'm more mature, and can actually hold myself accountable [keeping my fingers crossed].
Here are a few things I'd like to do this year:

• Like most women, I want to get in shape. I bought myself the bender ball today, and have promised to use it AT LEAST 3 times a week.
  
• I want to work on my temper. I am so quick to anger, and I really want to learn patience.
• I want to make more art work OUTSIDE of the art I make for my classes. I would really love to do a show at some point this year.
• I want to keep my house clean and organized at all times. I get so frustrated and feel so UNmotivated when it isn't just right.

Those are my resolutions for 2010, what are some of yours?

FMM::Nosey

Haven't done a FMM in a while, so when I saw that Emma had done it, I jumped at the chance.

1. Do you cook every night?
I don't. I usually try to cook 4 nights, have left overs one or two nights, and then eat out once.

2. What kind of laundry detergent do you use & why?
Whatever kind Nanny buys.....yes, I still do laundry at her house.

3. Do you do laundry every day or loads at a time?
Once every other week. I know it sounds weird, but I have a ridiculous amount of clothes, so I don't NEED to wash every day. Plus, we don't own a washing machine or dryer.

4. How often do you eat out per week?
Usually just once, unless I'm having a bad week, then it could be three or four.

No, I just do them when I have the time or actually feel like it.

13. Do you keep a working budget?
Yes. If not, Aaron would buy every video game he saw and we would be -$1,000,000 in debt.

FMM

This week's FMM is....

How did you and your significant other meet? and if you don't have a significant other at the moment then what would be your dream way to meet him?

Circa 2005

Aaron and I went to the same high school. We always had, but he was a grade below me, and we didn't have mutual friends, so we didn't really 'know' each other. My senior year (2005), I started hanging out Camron. One day, we decided to go to a soccer game with some other friends, but Camron didn't have a ride, so I took him. When the game was over, he said he was hungry, said he wanted to stop by McDonald's to eat & see his friend. So, we got there and his friend (Aaron) went on his break & came to talk to us. I'm such a shy person, I'd never actually met him before, I just sat there listening to them talk. After Camron finished eating, we left. I took Camron home and then went home myself. I didn't really put much thought into anything that had happened that night. The next day Camron told me that Aaron was asking about me. He thought Camron and I were there on a date [FAT CHANCE!], but Camron confirmed that we were JUST friends, so he gave Aaron the 'go ahead' to talk to me. He gave him my email address, and he emailed me a little later. It was cute. He said I was the cutest girl he'd ever seen and he really wanted to get to know me. Remember how I said I'm super shy? Because of that, we only talked on the phone and through emails, and a little bit at school, for about a month. We didn't even hang out for the longest time. He finally asked me on a date, so we went to the movies to see Kicking and Screaming. He was so sweet to me. We went on a few more dates before he actually asked me out. We officially started dating May 28, 2005.
Like every other couple, we've had our problems. But we've made it through all of the rain.
He proposed April 12th, 2009. [The happiest day of my life, so far.]
And hopefully we will be getting married June 3rd, 2011.
