2010, here we come!

[Ghoulish Delight]

I achieved every single goal that I posted in [the 2009] thread, and plan on doing the same this year.

I thought of one for this year - finish "landscaping" our back patio.

Hmm, mixed bag. I did the work (planted 4 types of veggies, and some ornamental shrubbery). Unfortunately, most of it died. But I tried damnit! And we are left with some healthy flat leaf parsley and carrots, which make for good supplements to the bunny food we buy.

I hesitate to make any for this year considering the unpredictability a newborn will bring, but boy it'd be nice if I find myself hating work less next year. Whether that comes from reinvesting myself in the current job, or moving on to bigger and better.

to complete the RV project and self publish through blurb.com (thanks Mousepod) - projected to hit the street in August
to spend more time with good friends
to keep the good streak of reasonable good health for another year
to really start some DIY like painting the apartment and getting new blinds
to enjoy some more any or a single swanking in 2009
to always have a project going to expand my horizons (begun, new blog) and to restart my podcast
to have time to relax and enjoy the ride
to learn to make Vietnamese food well

I did not do too badly in 2009, all things considered.
RV has a new street date, February 2010 (Valentino's Valentine's Day)
Spent some time with good friends
Health seemed to be pretty good, I need to ramp up the weight loss, I'm as big as a house.
Painting has begun in the apartment
Managed the LashPair/Deebs swanking, a little bit of Yosemite and met the Wolfpack up here.
Still have more projects going, including a new website (exciting news on this)
Restarted my podcast and loving it
enjoying the ride
Still need to learn how to make Vietnamese food.

2010
My big goal is out of cc debt, was almost there this year, but things happened and being he sole provider sort of messed me up in this regard. Getting there, but it's going to take more hard work, more belt tightening and I know I can do it.

Other big goal is 50lbs by my 50th birthday. Not an unreasonable goal, I sincerely hope it's more, but I thought this would be a good start. So, continued good health and better heath is the goal.

Disneyland, at least once, preferably twice.

Be a kinder person and a better friend to all.

Declutter. I've got too much stuff.

Be more creative, artistic, expressive.

Right now, this is about all I can think of.
