Mango Peach Salsa, Revisited



I have mentioned my love for Mango Peach salsa before. Remember? Well, I took a break from it for awhile, mostly because it was $5 and I thought I could only get it at Costco.

On Saturday I went to Smith's grocery store, and who was sitting there on the shelf, yearning to go home with me? Mr. Mango Peach Salsa.

I gave him a lift home.

I then ate Mr. Salsa, in his entirety, in one sitting (luckily, he was not as big as the Costco salsa).

On Monday, I went back. I enticed yet another Mr. M. P. Salsa into my cart. Oh, yum.

Today I found that Yankee Candle makes this:


Do you think I could just smell it and get the same satisfaction?

No?

Well, I can't burn candles in our apartment anyway.

Darn.

My Resolutions

My New Year's Resolutions:

1. Learn how to cook a new meal every month. I did this last year, and it was a huge success. I like to cook, but I run out of ideas fast, and who doesn't need more cooking practice?

2. Participate in a 5K. I ran my first 5K on July 4th last year in Provo with my mom. I hope to do one again, but I actually want to train for it this time. Hey, Mom--want to join me again?

3. Read 24 books in 2010. An average of two a month, though I hope to read more than that before I get to grad school so that I am not overwhelmed with textbook reading, too.

4. Get accepted to graduate school. I am applying to School Counseling programs at schools in Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. I don't have total control over this, but I am doing all that I can to attain this goal.

5. Attend the LDS temple at least once a month.

6. Recapture my goal weight for Weight Watchers. I currently need to lose 8 pounds to do this.

7. Go skiing in Utah. We may be moving in August, and I still have never been skiing at all, let alone in Utah. This is my last chance!

8. Visit a church history site. I would like to go to Nauvoo, ideally, but I can be flexible.

9. Get an "A" in my Abnormal Psychology class (I am currently enrolled for the Winter semester at BYU).

10. Be Scott's biggest cheerleader. Not literally biggest...remember #6?


11. Go camping in Moab, UT and Arches National Park. We have a tent, and we have only used it once--in the front yard. It's time to put it to use.



12. Do 100% of my Visiting Teaching.

I feel good about these goals. They are all realistic and attainable, though they will require some planning and hard work. I did really well with resolutions last year, so I am confident that I can do well again. Bring it on, 2010!
