Monthly (New Year's) Resolutions

all done for now!

I’m going to mark this done for now, since I’m reorganizing my 43 things list to reflect this coming year, 2008.

Last month of a rollercoaster year. I felt like I lived a lifetime in this year.

The main goal for this month: Do WHATEVER I CAN to find a regular paycheck. Husband, although patient, is beginning to get worried. And so am I. I am praying for a miracle. I don’t want to go back to teaching or substituting again. I absolutely hated every moment of it, except the leaving for home each day.

The rest will be as usual—writing regularly, gardening, etc.

Two more months left!

1. Finish winter gardening for front & back yards.
2. Keep working on writing projects.
3. Send four pieces or pitches out.
4. Keep house “guest-friendly” & presentable.
5. Work on creating home office.
6. Arrange trip to Oregon.

I’m not exactly doing stuff on my list either, though I’m being semi-productive. I think I need to revise my list.

Stuff I did. Backyard’s coming along. Picked up med records. Cleaned out shoe and clothes closet.

Didn’t. Do. The. Major. Stuff. Blaaah! Been slacking off on the book, and slacking off on the job search.

Gotta get back on this wagon! I’ll be readjusting my goals slightly at the next post.

Well i fell off the work! aww
way must i get the lazyies all the freaking time!
i get so mad at my self!

i wonder why i’m in this lazy rut!
well here is what is done or not done!

and tap is where my hearts at more over stretching!
