Every year I make them, most years they get abandoned. I am motivated and ready to go, get some things in order. Some are ambiguous because of the openness of a blog (as in my mother and daughter read this), but:
1. Financial. Done 03/2010 Savings Goal Reached.
2. Financial.
3. Financial.
4. Weigh 140 pounds.
5. Financial.
6. Finish one project per month.
7. Finish all 20 books on my list, in my library, before purchasing any new.
8. Empty or use one box of supplies (I currently have 3, it is ridiculous) (that is not even counting what is left in CT), this would be shampoo, toothpaste, lotion, etc.
9. Use all groceries in storage by end of summer. Want to start fresh with canning in the summer.
10. Update my Knitting/Sewing/Embroidery list.
11. Complete by Associates Degree by 12/31/2010 (I'm not sure how many classes are left either 3 or 4). The school is auditing my transferred classes so I know what I have to take yet. Update: I have two classes left and am taking them both right now. 03/2010
#10 is done and it is ridiculous. I have 79 projects and I'm sure if I scrounged around I could find another to make it an even 80. Again, this does not even including the 4 rubbermaid containers in CT. I will never live long enough to get them all done.
It is cold -3 with a -14 wind chill. We didn't get the snow the rest of the family did, but it is cold.

Maybe third time is the charm
We'll try again at this blogging thing. Sam is sitting here doing art and Algebra, he would rather be just about anywhere else.
The house smells fantastic. In the oven now is a loaf of zucchini bread. Rhubarb muffins are already done and there is a loaf of white bread in the bread machine. The zucchini and rhubarb is what was frozen from the garden this summer. A concerted effort has to be made to get it used up as last year I threw a bunch of stuff out. The living room smells like pine as we decided to get a real tree and am so glad we did. It seems like a waste to cut down a tree just to throw it out but it is so worth it. The tree is beautiful, takes up about 1/4th of our living room. It expanded a little more than we expected when it got warmed up.
The cat was sick but is now doing much better. He is on antibiotics and special food. Amazing how perky he can be after laying around for a few days.
Dan and I had our first Christmas party on Tuesday for Rotary. Have another one on Friday for the hospital, that includes dancing and this year bingo-- I love Bingo. On Sunday a group of ladies, 4 of us, from the church are going to Minot (about 2 hours away) to see the living Christmas tree program at one of the churches. We will go shopping a little depending on the time and then out to eat afterwards. These are great ladies it will be fun.
Finally last night I finished school for this semester. It seemed like it would never get here. I had one paper to write last night so after the party grabbed a glass of wine and went for it. Unfortunately I should have not sent it last night as I was thinking about it today and could have elaborated a little more than I did. It will be fine anyway.
