A lot of things changed for me in 2008. I finally moved out of my parents' house and in with Fella. And this segued immediately into our exchanging of vows.

And I think there's a lot of change brewing for 2009 already.

1. Zesty Gets on The Savings Plan
Zesty has never really been on a budget and certainly hasn't saved money since, at best, her college days. In her first act of saving, she hits the Coach Factory Outlet and buys a smokin' red patent purse. On Fella's dime. So I guess she's still saving her scrill.
 
2. Fella & Zesty Get Organized
The happy couple made a trip to the Container Store before 2008 was out. Zesty made a second trip on NYE to return some of the superfluous items that didn't end up fitting in their bathroom drawers. But she still started the New Year with one of the best organized makeup drawers ever. If only all of her makeup actually fit in this drawer.
 
Fella plans to line a wall in the extra bedroom with shelving. This will help IMMENSELY. Zesty's cookbooks will finally get out of their current cardboard shelter and perhaps she can bring over more!
 
3. Zesty Re-evaluates Her Long- and Short-Term Goals
This will get no further elaboration at this time. Or perhaps ever. What can I say? I'm being a little superstitious. Or paranoid, but I prefer superstitious.
 
4. Zesty Gets & Stays on a Fitness Regimen
Zesty has fallen off the wagon since her appearance in a particular white number in October. Even then, she should have put in a lot more hours at the gym. Her first act of sobering up her routine is to join another gym. She thinks. Maybe. But in no way does it mean going to her current gym, which sucks now because they shut down one of the better locations close to her house. Zesty hopes for a new club with a pool because water fitness intrigues her.
 
5. Zesty Vows to Use Her Slow Cooker. A Lot.
Perhaps not as much as this, but a lot.
