2011 was fantastic, but no year is without undesirable aspects. The most important thing to me is that we learn from the bad and constantly work to improve those characteristics of our situation which we are unhappy with.
I don't believe in "New Year's" resolutions to modify behavior, because I feel like those modifications should be made as one becomes aware of them. Why people choose to wait until January to assess themselves and commit to improvement is beyond me. I do, however, believe in setting goals.
SO:
- Cory and I collectively aim to go out less, thus saving money for more important things.
- The back yard will be overhauled, period. Moose has made his best effort to destroy any semblance of what was formerly a source of pride for yours truly and I believe I have identified a way to make it so that even our natural disaster of a puppy can't eff it up.
- Take ownership of the dog my father in law very unceremoniously stuck us with - and be glad about it.
- Make improvements to the house.
- Travel - TRAVEL - Travel - t r a v e l
Unsubscribe to mailing lists for the myriad stores that flood my inbox on a daily basis and make me think that spending money is a good idea.DONE- Call my mother EVERY day.
- Take at least one photo per day.
- Blog more.
- Yelp more.
- Cellar more beer.
A year is a long time so I am hopeful that most, if not all, of these things will happen. Honestly, I am just stoked to spend another year with my amazing partner and our ginormous family of pets.
