Black-Eyed Peas and Cabbage

Did you have your share of BEPs and cabbage New Year's Day?  I did.  I always do.  But what I really want to know is how many years do you have to eat BEPs n cabbage before they actually work?  I mean I suppose the BEPs are working because my kids and I are healthy and we live a blessed life.  Sure we have struggles but heck, who doesn't?  And really, when you look at other folks situations, we are truly blessed indeed.  But the cabbage...the nasty smelling cabbage that will never, ever, ever, ever be cooked in my house...how much of this blasted stuff must I consume for the money to kick in?  Again, I guess it has because I have a job, I have a check coming in and I'm able to provide for myself and my children.  But seriously...I wouldn't mind a little more padding there.  Obviously, the cabbage Gods are getting my bank account confused with my ass and hips because the padding ain't in the right bank!  Am I the only one this confusion is happening to? 

I was reading a post from fellow blogger Laura at Cowboy Boots and Baby Booties about her goals for 2013 and decided I liked her term better than resolutions as well, so I'm gonna steal borrow her terminology of goals for 2013 vs. resolutions.

Cookbook
Get my dadgum family cookbook going...see here for what I wrote last year.  That's basically it in a nutshell. 

Internet
Of course, in order for me to actually be able to work on the cookbook,  I need internet because the program we talked about using is online.  Yeah, that would help, dontcha think?

Cooking
Get back in the kitchen more and continue to try new things, even if my son and daughter turn their noses up to new dishes (deep sigh). 

Save More, Spend Less
Always, always, always!  And again, if the cabbage Gods would quit getting confused with my ass and hips, this would work out much better for me in the long run.  Just saying.

That's it.  I don't want to give myself too many hurdles to overcome.  I'm going to continue to improve on what I made progress on last year and keep moving forward, trying very hard not to look back. 

And I STILL have no idea what my word is gonna be for 2013.  Nothing sounds good....ugh!
