Well I did it. I came up with my list for 2009. Now it's a little long but I have the whole year to accomplish these things.
2009's List
- Have 1 family dinner at my house every other month.
- Make at least 2 new friends. (Real life friends that are a part of my world. So virtual friends won't count on this one.)
- Read 3 books outside the monthly bookclub assignments.
- Plant flowers in the spring.
- Start writing that book.
- Paint the kitchen cabinets and walls.
- Install new shower/tub combo.
- Pay an extra $50 on the principle of my mortgage each month.
- Hug my kiddos everyday!
- Play board games once a week.
- Gain ten pounds. (Ok if you know me in real life - you know this is a legitimate goal for me!)
- Eliminate another disposable product from our consumption. (Last year I stopped buying water bottles and become consistent with using the Brita Pitcher for purified water.) I need to find something else to stop buying and stop filling up the landfills.
- Start now trying to win a laptop since I told Jas I would get him one when he started high school, which is... this fall!
- Only visit Walmart when absolutely necessary. (Why do I hate Walmart?)
- Get a tan (For Luc and any other concerned reader: I will do this in a safe, cautious, slow and gradual method. I promise!)
- Become disciplined in practicing low impact exercise two - three times a week, like yoga.
Wow I have a lot to do in 2009. It will take all year to complete the list. Now I am excited and need to get started. Where do I begin? Well first I have to add my 16 things to my "list website" www.43things.com. So I can check them off, of course, and keep track of completing them.
Oh yes, Brooks, beware the house projects above - I will be calling on you! (Except the shower/tub combo install; I plan to have that one done professionally.)
Ok and my Christmas gift to me was to purchase a one-year membership to the tanning salon in January. I love a tan and I promise to be careful. It takes a month for you to even notice a difference in my skin tone!
What's on your list for 2009?
Find yourself... keeping it real.

I hate Walmart too. The place drives me nuts and I get close to have a panic attack almost every time I'm in one!
BTW, I'll be in L'burg this coming week. Has Heather said anything about me coming over and meeting y'all for lunch? I haven't heard back from her yet.
