I've never really been one for making New Years resolutions. A few years ago I vaguely aspired to get into shape for New Years but like 98% of folks that want to shed those extra pounds I stopped going to the gym by March.

But, this year is different. In honor of 2010 I created 20 lists of 10 things that I wish to accomplish. All of this was thanks to my colleague, Maria, who came up with the fantastic idea.

As I finish things on my list I'll be sure to keep you all updated. Here's a glimpse at some of my 20x10 things.
