2007 Goals REVISITED
I am a little belated in doing this....and a little light on subject matter this week so... Here we go - let's see how I did in '07:
Health/Body
1. Ski/Hike a couple times a week, or at least go for a walk outside. [Mostly...]
2. Sit ups/arm weights [Not so much - I blame the pregnancy]
3. Stop eating so much. [Yeah, I did better on this one, blame the GD!]
4. More water!! [Yup!!]
5. More salads, less chips. [Still working on this one]
6. Ride my new bike more. [I did good on this one til my center of gravity shifted!]
Travel/Adventure
1. Lots of camping! [Some - more this summer!]
2. Visit a trail you’ve never been on before at least once every other month. [I did pretty good on this one including hiking in the mountains of Sweden!]
3. Keep writing in hiking journal/add digital pictures [No, didn't do this...]
4. Go to Sweden [Check!]
Arts/Crafts
1. Knit lots of baby blankets [Accomplished...5 baby blankets last year. Whew!]
2. Make more gifts instead of buying.[I'm getting better at this.]
3. Finish a project in a timely fashion once you’ve started. [Eh...*shakes head*]
4. Make lots and lots of greeting cards [Check!]
Money
1. Save More [Getting better at this...]
2. Stick to budget. [Budget? What Budget?]
3. Keep putting money into savings every week. [I'm about 85% on this one]
Social/Activities
1. Be more timely about sending out birthday, anniversary, etc cards to friends far & near. [This goal is perpetual!]
2. Go to more plays. [No....sad]
3. Join a couple “groups” (ie: knitting group, crafting, etc) [I go to Stitch & Bitch!]
4. See more movies in the theatre. [Steve & I saw ONE last year, I saw 2 others with Miss M and one with Michelle - LAME!]
5. Go to the MN Science Museum in St. Paul [Nope]
Household
1. Clean out front closet/organize/build shelves [Nope]
2. Organize basement. Put up plastic shelves, get rid of things you DON’T
WANT/NEED, take GIANT load to Good Will. [Currently working on this with the hubby]
3. File the “to-be-filed” section of filing cabinet. Shred unwanted documents. [Yes and no - it's never ending...isn't it]
4. Get all tax information compiled and ready to go. [Yes, of course...now time to do it again!]
5. Clean bedroom closet, craft closet, organize craft supplies/craft room [The craft room is now the baby room so...yes]
6. Plant wildflowers & trees and a vegetable garden [Yes!]
Personal
1. Read 25 books. [Just barely - but yes!]
2. Take time to reflect, meditate, focus and dream. [Sometimes...always could do this more]
3. Play the piano, learn how to play guitar. [Not really, and no]
4. Be outside more, especially with Steve. [I think so!]
5. Be more thoughtful. [Maybe...?]
Coupledom
1. Hold hands as much as possible. [Hmmm....]
2. Keep spending more time together and doing different fun things. [We're pretty good at this...]
3. Be healthier to ensure a long & fulfilled life. [Steve's much better at being healthy than I am! But I'm trying!]
4. Have a baby (maybe?) [CHECK!]
I could list a long list of goals for 2008 but instead I will end this long post with a short list:
*Be more grateful for the things I have
*Love my family (that includes my friends)
*Be kind
*Be Thoughtful
*Be Patient
*And read at least 25 books (ha!)

can i just say...its nice to read about a normal person, around my age, having normal reactions and normal responses to parenting for the first time :) its encouraging, because some women's reaction to pregnancy/motherhood terrify me....
