2010

Looks like I’m doing it again!

I had an idea of the goals I wanted to accomplish in 2010, but I hadn’t planned on making a formal list. Sitting here today, I’m feeling a little saddened by no “official” challenge. I enjoyed tackling my 2009 goals and I’m thinking about all the fun I will miss out on if I don’t make my 2010 goals concrete. So, here are my grand visions for the new year!


* Run one organized race *
Sound familiar? Yes, this was a goal of mine last year but I want it to be a goal for this year, too. This year my thought is to try a distance other than the 5K or to beat my time on the 5K I ran this past year.

* Try one new recipe a month *
Mitch and I have quite a few recipes and numerous cookbooks, but we always fall back on the same handful of recipes. I want to spice things up a little!

* Sew curtains for my dining room *
Mitch and I originally hadn’t planned on putting any type of window covering over our patio door, but I’ve changed my mind. I still don’t mind the whole “people can see into your house” aspect, but I think curtains would make the room much more homey.

* Watch a "classic" movie *
Any suggestions? Casablanca? Breakfast at Tiffany's?

* Read a "classic" novel *
I have plenty of these on my list and I think it's about time I read one.

* Start Project 365 *
I attempted this photo-of-the-day challenge twice last year. The first round, I missed a day and called it quits. The second round, I got to the point where I was just taking a photo of anything just to “get it done.” I wasn’t challenging myself, nor was I enjoying the task (it felt more like a chore). My excitement has returned and I want to try once more. Third time's a charm, right?

* Complete one accounting course *
I've never taken an accounting course and it's always been something I thought I'd enjoy. I'm registered for an introductory course which begins January 12th and I'm beyond excited.

* Volunteer at the Humane Society *
I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and since getting Crickett, that spot has grown and grown. I love Crickett more than I thought possible, but I know that I still have a lot of love to give and I want to do what I can for those dogs that haven’t been as fortunate as our little girl.

* Celebrate 25 days of Christmas AND document it *
I wish I would have documented more of my celebrations this past Christmas, so I thought it would be a fun goal for the next Christmas.


I can't wait to get started on this list! 2010 is going to be a fun year!
