What are your goals/resolutions for the New Year?

Happy New Year! I hope it's going well for you and yours. My husband and I sat down together yesterday and decided that rather than making resolutions, we are going to have certain goals for the coming year. His goals basically center around losing weight, but mine cover a number of aspects in my life.
1. I, too, want to lose weight, so I have set a goal of losing 5 lbs. per month until I reach my goal weight. Baby steps. : )
2. I intend to graduate from college this year, and I would like to maintain a 3.5 average. Ordinarily, I would say no problem there, but I've put off some math, foreign language and science classes until this year and I am just no good at any of them.
3. I have been trudging along on a book I would like to write for about a year now. Since my life is pretty hectic with work, school and home life, I have decided to set a goal of writing at least 1000 words per month on it. At least that way I might make some headway beyond my main character descriptions and an overview.
4. And finally, I am a horrible housekeeper. There, Matt (my hubby), I have admitted it for the world to see. : ) In the coming year, I plan to set up a schedule of things that need to be done each week in an effort to keep up with the housework instead of playing catch up on the weekends, leaving me with no free time to spare.
So what are your goals for the coming year? I know some people think it's foolish to set resolutions at a certain time of year, when you could have been doing it all along, but I think it's just the kick in the pants I need to get motivated. What about you?
