2.Start our family hopefully soon!
3.Hopefully be in our new home soon if we get it- so we can decorate/etc!
4.Learn how to paint well (something i've always wanted to do)
5.Get my vet tech lisence. I'm am the primary vet tech at the moment at our shelter- but if i get my lisence, i will be a lisenced one so i can hopefully get a better paying gig and learn a bit more about the field i'm in and love.

1. I want to get more fit, using the eat right for your type 'diet'. Not really a diet, but a lifestyle change based on your blood type. I've been considering going 'mostly' vegetarian for some time, and this confirmed it. I'm a type A.
2. get ONE job that pays decently (at least 30K/year).
3. move out of the neighborhood I'm in. Which will happen once I accomplish #2.
4. finish sewing projects, thus widdling down my overgrown fabric collection.
5. finish editing my novel from 2006 writing challenge and self-publishing it (finally).

so many things to do... many more than 5, but those are the big ones...

Every year on my birthday in November, I make a list of 20 things I want to accomplish before my next birthday. I usually keep it fairly simple, some things may seem a bit silly but they're important to me. Here are my top five:

1. Find our own house.
2. Learn Spanish.
3. Ride my horse.
4. Finish my Volkswagen so it's ready for the road.
5. Learn how to operate a motorcycle.

 

[kaete]

What a great thread! We can all look back when the year is done and see what we've accomplished (or didn't, hahaha)....

01. Move into a nice, affordable, pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in a decent part of town! (Otherwise known as: get Jess and I the heck away from our roomies and out of the flippin' ghetto)

02. Go back to school for my MSW

03. Pay off Jess's engagement ring

04. Start saving for retirement

05. Start writing again

1. Strengthen my ability to find happiness from within
2. Get admitted in grad school
3. Continue learning Cambodian
4. Start grad school (after I accomplish #2)
5. Continue saving money for grad school and/or travel

So actually, I'm right on track... I just need to keep things going.

 

[emchelle]

- My BIG resolution: follow the 'Paleolithic Diet' for one year. It's partially in response to a challenge from my Bio Anthro professor, and partially because, well...why not?

- start walking every day
- save up to buy a new laptop and a new DSLR camera
- start seriously planning a trip to Africa next summer with my younger brother
- graduate! (hopefully without crippling senioritis

)

 

[spyral]

1) get in shape..a shape other than round.
2) go back to Scotland for a few weeks.
3) get my car faster than it already is (600+ rwhp now)
4) get a girlfriend and hold on to her this time (I suck at relationships)
5) call my parents more.
6) be a good Daddy to Holden.

Ok, so that was 6 things...I can't follow rules.

[krazy kat2]

1. I think mariep put it very well, strengthen my capacity find happiness from within. Thanks for putting it in to words for me.
2.Learn to be less dependent on my SO.
3.Learn to take better care of myself physically, or to put it bluntly, I will not live very much longer, as I have several potentially life threatening conditions that can be managed if I just do it.
4.Get my own ride so I can go see my daughter and granddaughter more often. I think my tax refund should help with that.
5.Get better at my job so I can finance some of the above.

I wish all of you a very happy and healthy New Year, and hope we can all help each other to reach our goals.
