2010 A look back

[baronessekat]

2010 to dos

Employment - I'm not particularly happy or content where I am. There is absolutely no growth room. So I would like to find something else. Preferably closer to home. Didn't get a choice for job change. Bridges let me go. Best thing they ever did for me. I'm now at a place I like and enjoy and do not dread going into work every day. I like my co-workers and the company takes care of it's employees.

Health/Weight- I would like to get back into doing some kind of exercise at least twice a week. My current plan is my Walk away the pounds DVDs and continue my 1-2 mile walks with Grimm come warm weather so did not get out walking like I wanted. I actually gained this year. After Pennsic I started losing and am back to where I was at the start of the year.

Great Recipe Experiment 2010- I think I will keep with the goal of 12 new recipes a year. It's realistic. Did 13. I achieved this to-do point

Garage- Same as before clean and sort it and be able to park in it easily. Nope. Got rid of some more stuff though

House- on top of the list below, I hope to continue working FLYlady into my routine. Now that the house is clean, I hope to get back into doing the daily challenges.
1. Wallpaper border in guest bathroom.
2. Front Hall stripped of Wallpaper and painted.
3. Tear our dead chery tree out front and replace
4. Victory Garden
5. Fix/repair shed and fence

Cherry tree is gone. And I did the victory garden. Fence was replaced by crazy italian lady. But my old fence is still up.

Arts and Crafts - I have found a joy in crochet. I want to finish the Yips I'm making for 12th night presents. I plan at least two afghans this year. One is with my sister. We picked out the pattern over Christmas. Now we just have to pick the yarn. The other one I started, I just need to sit and work on it. I would also like to break mine and Dicea's habit of getting a scroll assignment months before it's due but waiting until the week before to work on it. That is going to have to be a joint effort. Dicea and I did do more scrolls this year. Didn't get the afghans done but I did do some hats and some amiguramis. I want to keep trying to do more crocheting. I always forget how relaxing it is.

Frame of mind - I would like to challenge myself to find one good thing that happened everyday. Even if it's something as silly as "reveled in wearing fuzzy socks". I spent too much of 2009 dwelling on the bad. I need to change the thinking to finding the good. Pollyanna here I come. I was good for the first half or so of the year. But when I lost LJ access at work I stopped doing it. I think what i need to do is post it on FB. It was a good attempt and it helped keep me from getting into the deep depression



Gonna try to keep to the same list

2011 to dos

Employment - Make it another year at Freed. I like it there.

Health/Weight- I would like to get back into doing some kind of exercise at least twice a week. My current plan is my Walk away the pounds DVDs and continue my 1-2 mile walks with Grimm come warm weather. I now own a Wii Fit so that will help. As will getting back into regular Fencing practice. Also several of my co-workers and I are going to do an unofficial support group to help encourage each other. My goal is 20-25 lbs gone.

Great Recipe Experiment 2011 - I think I will keep with the goal of 12 new recipes a year. It's realistic.

Garage- Same as before clean and sort it and be able to park in it easily. I also need to get a new working remote for the garage opener.

House - on top of the list below, I hope to get FLYlady back into my routine.
1. Wallpaper border in guest bathroom.
2. Front Hall stripped of Wallpaper and painted.
3.Victory Garden
4. Fix/repair shed and tear out fence

Arts and Crafts - keep working on crochet projects. I hope to do one a month.

Frame of mind - I want to get my glad game back. I may have to more that posting to FB as I have access to that at work and that's usually when I think about what was good for the day before.
