How is 2013 treating you so far? I feel like it is going to be a good one!
We started it by reading your lists. In fact my husband read them all before I did. So good, so funny, so perfect. 80′ might have not been the most flattering decade to grow up in but it is a great one to make fun of. And don’t get me started on the tweets and crushes. Thank you Kate for brilliant suggestions! You are a great gal to whine with 😉
This week I called for a topic to fight the urge to commit new year resolutions. 10 THINGS YOU HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHANGING IN 2013. Was it an easy list for you to write?
Next week Ally, from Just a normal mom gave us a great Listicles idea:
@northwestmommy maybe for a 2013 ML topic: 10 best movie quotes. Did we already do that one?
— Ally W. (@NormalMomAlly) December 17, 2012
If you are not a quote type or watch only silent films, share your 10 favorite movie moments. This is going to be so good!
Let’s embrace the new year then, shall we?
Make a list, check it twice, link it up. Read others. Have fun!

10 THINGS I AM NOT CHANGING IN 2013
1. My chocolate addiction. Love is not rational, plus it tastes so good.
2. My Instagram account. I am not worried about the changes to TOS.
3. Indulging my son. He really is a great kid and I don’t feel bad celebrating it.
4. Running. I will run 5K races, even if I am limping all the way, moving slower then the snail.
5. My overpriced cup of latte from Starbucks. Sometimes a girl has to splurge.
6. My spending time outdoors/cleaning the house ratio. The more we are outside, the less we mess up the house.
7. Wearing my favorite pants that my husband hates way too often. They might be unflattering, but I love them.
8. My love for cacti. Even if their survival rate in my house is low.
9. My lack of travel. I just really don’t feel like leaving the state. Ever.
10. Monday Listicles. I love you all. I might be a little slow reading them in the past few weeks, but your lists still make my week. They are here to stay!

Love your list! I am RIGHT with you on the chocolate. I sort of included that in my first item as well–along with poutine, cheesecake & whatever else beckons…
Brilliant thinking on the being outside meaning less cleaning. I need to try this!

totally with you on the coffee and chocolate — Together, we will remain Strong!!
But it would be nice to leave home… I mean briefly of course. And by brief I mean at least a week somewhere with not even geckos under the age of 18!

Love your philosophy about outside time. And cacti have a low survival rate with me, too. I had to give up on them; I need heartier houseplants.

I thought cacti were a no maintenance plant? Guess that’s why mine are no longer with me either. Here’s to chocolate and outdoor time in 2013. All the best to you and yours

Yay for #10! Love your listicles link-up! And I’m so with you on the chocolate. I’m gonna try to cut the sugar out of my diet, but I’m still going to eat chocolate, even if it’s that bitter stuff.
Kate Hall recently posted..10 Things Stayin’ The Same In 2013
I love your list especially the outdoor to cleaning the house ratio. And coffee. And chocolate. And indulging the kiddos.

Hooray for Monday Listicles staying in 2013! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Erin and I are a wee bit addicted. It makes blogging so much fun!
And girl, I knew you were hardcore, but you can kill a cactus? Ellen

Someone said in a listicle once that a mother cannot have cacti. We cannot help ourselves but to overwater them. That is my story and I am sticking to it 😉

I’m so with you on the chocolate and enjoying it. Nice list you have this week. Will add mine soon.

We share a love for chocolate and comfy bottoms–your unflattering pants and my PJs! I’m so glad to have discovered Listicles and that you are continuing–it’s such fun!

I was with you all the way until you mentioned “running”!!! Seriously??? Good for you though. Of course you pulled me back in with Starbucks. 😛

Great list! So I often we think about what we want to change rather than what we want to stay the same.
I am totally with you about chocolate & lattes.
Twitter: mannahattamamma
now THIS list is the way to start the New Year. Bravo. And bravo to indulging your kid by being outside (and buying legos, the infinite toy, even if they always, always hurt when you step on them). As the old saying goes, no one ever thought, as she lay dying, “gosh I wish I’d put in new shelf liners…” Happy new year!!
deborah l quinn recently posted..gun violence…justified?
Ok how exactly do you kill a cacti?? Wait don’t answer that I have a sister who killed an AIR plant.. seriously. Oh i have the favorite pants as well. Ok going to make my list and link up..

Hooray for no resolutions to break! I think it’s more than ok that you’re not changing your travel one. You spend enough time traveling around your corner of the world to more than make up for it.
Happy New Year!

Great list and all good things not to give up. Well, except that I’d really like to get to Hawaii… 😉
So that’s the real reason you and Little J are outside so much – a clean house!

All great things to hang onto. I am with you on the chocolate, Starbucks and favorite pants! Why would anyone want to give those up?

Chocolate and Instagram are definitely here to stay!!! And as much as I do like to travel… I’ll stick t Florida and keep it short and sweet!!! Home is were the heart is after all.

All excellent things to keep up in 2013. I was going to buy a cactus for my office when I go back to work, because I thought it would survive my neglect. Sounds like it might not.

So glad you have resolved to continue with the listicles. It truly is the best link-up I’ve found. Love them. Every week.

From the looks and sounds of things, I wouldn’t want to leave your state either! It seems as though you have every thing you could need or want right there. Its so beautiful!
And yay for continuing Monday Listicles. I so look forward to them!

I’m so out of it I missed the listicle this week! But I loved this topic, so I may have to do it next week! I loved all the things you’re not giving up this year, especially chocolate and indulging your son! Also, you just opened my eyes on the whole spending time outdoors / house cleaning equation!

Funny, I don’t think I’ll give up my chocolate addiction either. In fact, I think I’ll have some right now.

Yum, Starbucks. Indulge yourself and your son! And why not be outdoors more when you live where you live! I’m not upset about IG either. Whatevers right?

Thanks for such a great idea! You’ve inspired me with that “favorite pants” one…I am constantly wearing loungewear and yoga pants, and I’m sure my husband is a little weary of my wardrobe choices, but oh well! And cheers to chocolate and over-priced lattes!

I borrowed your coffee one because duh. It’ll never happen. I was freaking about TOS on Instagram but it seems that’s a non issue now so…

I deleted my original IG & am SOOOOO bummed now.

I’m not worried about my Instagram account either.Hey what about doing a top 10 of things as a child you always thought you would do/be when you grew up? It’d be fun to see how many people followed their childhood dreams.
Twitter: NorthWestMommy
Love it! What a great suggestion!
Twitter: goaliej54
Yes, do not change any of those things. Especially the Instagram and Listicles! I would miss you entirely too much! Also, finding Waldo keeps me entertained. 😉

As for me, then I decided to change a lot of things this year. And I’ve already started doing them, but of course, some of my habits will stay the same (eating chocolate or too much coffee)
