2013 was not a good year for this list. I was able to accomplish a few items, but I never maintained the listing as the year went on.
I'm starting the list anew for 2014.
1. Complete the first two levels of Rosetta Stone - German
2. Read 25 books - Last year, I read 16 books, four short of my 20 book goal. This year I've upped it to 25 as I don't feel I read nearly as much as I should.
3. Spend less time on the computer in my non-working hours
4. Maintain the blog with regular posts - I've come up with a tentative schedule for postings, but it is still a work in progress.
5. Go through the Digital SLR for Dummies book and improve my photography skills.
6. Continue to photograph Gimli and Merida.
7. Lose 20 lbs. - Last year, I struggled with this and am struggling with it again as the year begins. I was doing well, then I stopped exercising and all the progress I did was lost.
8. Finish painting our house - We have 3 bedrooms to paint this year.
9. Frame and put up our pictures.
10. Go to The Arboretum at least once a month - weather permitting.
11. Discover local restaurants/bistros etc in my city or in the surrounding areas.
12. Take more pictures of Mike and me.
13. Enjoy our backyard.
14. Surprise someone.
15. Put in more flowers/shrubs etc in the yard
16. Move off of "Medium" on the drums in Rock Band and to "Hard".
17. Complete the Minas Tirith 3D puzzle
18. Take up running. I'm nowhere close to the point of doing a 5k of straight running, but it's something I want to do. The ultimate goal is to do one of the RunDisney events at the parks.
19. Put in a smaller garden in the backyard.
20. Organize the spare bedroom so it actually looks like a bedroom and not a place to shove "stuff".
21. Scan in our baby pictures.
22. Start putting together our Disney album.
23. Start cooking more Trinidad type food.
24. Work on the corgis' recall.
25. Travel to a new place.
26. More to come...
I think I need to make a list like this! I always have ideas but never write them down so I feel like I never accomplish anything. :/
ReplyDeleteI do really like your book reading goal! Last year in January I decided to keep a reading log. I feel like I may have surpassed whatever goal I set in place for myself, but I feel like I didn't keep up the pace (started strong but in Nov. I didn't complete or read anything and in Dec. I only read 1 book). Who knows, maybe this year will be a better year for reading? :)
