My monthly resolution for July had been to create and stick to a budget. I hate to do this, but I'm going to switch because I feel like that's a task better suited for when I'm up and school and actively spending money (right now it's just groceries and random stuff). Plus, I feel like it isn't exactly a great resolution. Helpful and useful, yes. But not something to devote an entire month to. (As a side note, I seriously need to get my butt in gear with picking out resolutions before the second day of the month. Oops.)

Anyway, I'd like to switch my resolution something both broad and simple: expanding my horizons. I know it sounds rather Disney-fied, but I think I can accomplish so much with this one resolution. My ideas include new recipes (of which I have already made two successfully - woohoo!), thinking outside of the box when it comes to money saving, planning new fun things to do with the people I love to spend time with, staying up to date on current events, etc. Let's see how it shapes up!
