So here are my new year's resolutions for 2007:

2. walk the dogs at least 2 days a week
lasted through January ...

3. walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill at least 4 days a week
did well through April

4. drink at least 5 glasses (40 oz) of water each day
did well through April, again

5. send birthday cards to everyone on my list in a timely manner

Goals:
