Sunday, January 1st, 2012, the start of a new week and a new year all in one day! Are you one of the estimated 44% that make New Year’s Resolutions? Do you have a plan to make them happen, or will you then become part of the estimated 80% that fail or quit?

Here is a list of the Top Ten New Year’s Resolutions:

1. Eat healthier

2. Get a better job

3. Spend more time with family and friends

4. Get fit / Work out more

5. Get out of debt

6. Recycle

7. Save money

8. Volunteer

9. Quit smoking

10. Lose weight

We must be optimistic if we plan to succeed! Start preparing now, do some research if you need to on what you need to do to make a plan and outline your steps for your goals. You should always write them down and make them public. In our technology world, it is easy to get support and encouragement from others by posting your goals on twitter or facebook. You may have to start with one at a time. Remember old habits are hard to break and it can take 20 consecutive days of doing something to make it a habit!

Start today! Prepare for Sunday and surround yourself with positive reinforcement and have things already in place to make it a smooth transition and a successful start! You can always start smaller if you need to, with maybe taking care of the 5 or more email addresses you have that you never consolidated!

Changes to Amarillo’s Popular Venues Coming Soon

Amarillo VenuesMany changes are coming to some of Amarillo's most popular venues. The biggest change to come is an addtion. Oscar Soto will be opening a new restaurant called Oscar's Mexican Grill and Cantina. The Soto family closed a longtime Amarillo establishment once known as Mi Familia Mexican Restaurant to open the popular Oscar's Burritos, which is located at Southwest 45th Avenue and Western Street.
The menu for Oscar's new restaurant will include a little bit of everything, and there will be a full bar. A new part of the operation to Oscar's Mexican Grill and Cantina will include a Mexican Bakery, which will turn out the freshest pastries and empanadas of squash, pineapple and other delicious flavors. You can order at the counter between 6am and 3pm Monday through Friday for breakfast and lunch. Table service will be offered from 3pm to 9pm each weekday and all day Saturday's. Another big change coming soon is to Barnaby's Beanry. This establishment has been a fixture on Route 66 for the last 40 years, but will close in May. The regulars have plenty of lead time to get in at least one more Big Dan, cornbread cheeseburger or homemade cobbler. A sign has been posted stating the establishment will close at the end of their lease in May. The business like so many other across our Nation has struggled to pull itself out of the economic downturn.
Some changes on Sixth Street include the change that Leftwood’s will now be serving draft and craft beer along with mixed drinks, and live entertainment.
And, if you're making a new years resolution to be more artsy try out Canyon Rim Pottery located in the restored historic Palace on the square. They will begin offering parties where guest can paint pottery for firing and much more. They have gatherings where participants either hand build pieces or throw pots on the wheel. Every piece has it’s own individual uniqueness with no two alike. You can purchase pieces Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
