Goals

I"m not really one for New Year's Resolutions. I never keep them. But since it almost the end of February, if I make a list of goals, they aren't really resolutions, right? So here they are; short and long term.

Soon (in the next 2-3 months):

• finish Tater's baby book
• fix the walls and cabinets in the kitchen that were chewed up by the dog
• lose 10 lbs (I'm already 3 down from when I decided this, so I guess it's really only 7)
• sell the truck and the boat (if you know anybody interested in a '05 Expedition or a '99 bass boat, let me know!)
• clean this house top to bottom. I'm talking fan blades, baseboards - the works.

Later (in the next year):

• get published
• learn to play guitar
• get out of leadership at school
• find some part-time work editing (no clue how - that's the summer project)
• get scrapbooking caught up
• make Tater a bean bag

I'm almost tempted to put "have another baby" on that second list, but I can't do it. I'm/we're so back and forth on that issue right now... but that's another post.

I think the rest is doable. I'm going to be requiring some scrapbooking time with my friends/family to accomplish #5 - so you scrapbookers are officially on notice.
