New Years resolution for last year:
“I have made some resolutions this year. First, I want to learn to drive stick. I know. I’m lame. I’m the only person in my family that can’t. I think that even includes all of my family-in-law, too! Technically- I guess I can…but I just get all scared and freaked out and can’t do it anymore. So, I want to get over that. I also want to learn more about web design, and really make this page what I want it to be. Third, I want to take more time to read for PLEASURE (ta da! No more required philosophy readings!) and review books online. Fourth, I want to learn to cook more things. I think I’ve already come a long way in that department- but I’ve got a lot to learn. Fifth, next year this time I’d like to feel good about my weight and health. Notice that I didn’t specify how much I would weigh or what kinds of things I’ll eat. I just want to NOT think, “Ah, this has got to change.” Finally- I want to keep in touch with my friends better. They’re scattered everywhere, and I miss them! I have to find a way to talk to them more often.”
So, how did I do? Well. I can cook more things. Hurrah for me. I did read a lot more too, which is fabulous. And I have gotten better about calling my girls and even catching up with family. So that’s good! As for the driving stick thing…yeah, we lost the car that I would have learned on in a tragic accident. (I can’t find a link to a post about it, I think it happened last Feburary??)…and as for the healthy…well, I got pregnant AND sick, and don’t feel all that great about my exercise routines. So another bust. As for this site- I am closer, but still so far away. So you know what? I am pulling a New Years ditto (with a few exceptions and additions). Give it another go. So, for the record, my “goals” this year are:
Be healthy and feel healthy.
Cook good food! Learn new things!
Keep in touch with friends, more visits.
Work on this site more.
Be a good Mommy and Wife.
Start a grad school program that I LIKE.
I think that maybe be all for now…but I can change it ’til the end of the day!
Happy New Year all.
