accomplish as many goals as possible in 2008

I realized this goal was keeping me from adding new ones. I kept thinking of things I’d like to start working on and then going, “yeah, I should save that for next year’s list,” when I still have 4 more months of 2008.

One-time goals:

1. fill my apartment with air purifying plants
2. get my grandmother’s watch repaired
3. visit at least 5 places on my 43Places list in 2008
4. Get a digital SLR camera
5. become a full time student
6. find a signature scent
7. make jam
8. read all the Discworld novels
9. buy a sewing machine
10. take a photography class
11. sell a freelance article that I’m proud of
12. find the Korean penpal I had as a kid
13. get prescription sunglasses
14. buy vintage sunglasses frames
15. paint my kitchen yellow
16. paint the bathroom
17. rearrange the living room furniture
18. plant a windowbox garden
19. acquire a pretty bra for every day of the week
20. get my leather coat relined
21. learn to play cribbage

Long-term aspirations for 2008:

1. clean up my house and keep it clean
2. make our apartment a place we really love
3. Take vitamins daily
4. start doing yoga again
5. go on date nights with my husband
6. be fluent in French
