Wordy Resolutions and Whatnot...

So last year, I set like a million (fifteen) goals for myself...and maybe that didn't work out so well.

So I'm copying my darling friend Megan, and evaluating them one by one.

Here goes...

~

1. Be punctual. Not just more punctual, but downright punctual.

Ha ha, you think I'm punctual now? I will say this for myself, I'm always on time to school...but anywhere else, not so much. I give myself a half-check.

~

#2. Walk my shoes into the closet every day.

Failed. Next one.

~

#3. Put on lotion every day.

I should have said, "Put on lotion five days a week. Then I could have given myself a full check. Instead, I am giving myself a 5/7 check.

~

#4. Make and follow a budget and be more frugal and look for opportunites to save.

Um, check-ish? Or not, I don't really know or care at this point.

~

#5. Use groceries before they go bad.

Check. I suppose.

~

#6. Learn to play the piano again.

Honestly, who was I kidding? This should be a negative check.

~

#7. Read more books.

Um, I've been in school the last 11 months, and basically I cannot allow myself to read because then I don't want to do anything else. So I will give myself a check, for the books that I've read during my breaks, and can't wait until May when I get to read as much as I want.

~

#8. Take Philip on a date that I plan once or twice or more.

Nope. I'm a bad and very boring wife.

~

#9. Take lots of pictures of everything.

Hooray! A full blown check! Yes, I took lots of pictures of everything. Don't believe me? Well then you haven't been reading my blog very long.

~

#10. Do cute things for and with my cute Sunbeams.

Did you see the aprons? I kind of redeemed myself at the end of the year. Check.

~

#11. Eat healthier snacks.

You should see me eat grapes. I eat them like they're going out of style. But is it healthy for one person to eat a 4 lb box of grapes every week? Eh, half-check.

~

#12. "I really want to lose three pounds." (It's from a movie, hence the quotes. I kind of can't stand when quotation marks are used incorrectly. That's besides the point though.)

What a joke. Moving on.

~

#13. Drink more water, and maybe not as much Diet Pepsi.

Check on the water, and no check on the Diet Pepsi. I'm not an addict though, I can quit when I want...

~

#14. Work out once a week.

Once again, who was I kidding? Negative check.

~

#15. Learn to cook healthy meals.

I probably should learn how to, and actually cook at all. Failed again.

~

So, perhaps 2008 wasn't the most productive goal oriented year for me, eh? So I've decided to keep this year's goals simple.

They are as follows...

#1: Graduate.

#2: Pass all my boards.

#3: Take a trip to NYC.

#4: Be less frumpy.

And that's it. Wish me luck for 2009! It's going to be a monumental year!
