concrete aspirations 2012

I like lists a little too much, I think. They can become a security blanket. I know what's next, but when the list gets long, I procrastinate. And I failed big on last year's long list of goals. So I'm trimming down this year's concrete aspirations. Just what I think I can do/want to do this year if I stretch just a little. (Italics are in progress.)
  1. Figure out how to access Rosetta Stone once we get rid of the PC, then do the lessons (or use another system) at least once a week.
  2. Write for “Riding with Charlie” once a month. (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12)
  3. Organize and clean up photos in iPhoto.
  4. Make grandma’s cinnamon rolls, rolls, angel food cake, and potato sausage.
  5. WiiFit 3x a week. I do well at the beginning of the year, then summer hits...
  6. Read through Luke 10 times. (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)
  7. Call or e-mail one friend each month. (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12)
  8. Write to Grandma once a month. (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12)
  9. Video chat with family twice a month. (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12)
  10. Go through Sacred Marriage and Celebration of Discipline with Ian.
  11. Design and order/print a bookplate stamp/sticker/embosser. Between that and my dust jacket covers, I’ll feel like we have a library. Dream come true!
  12. Curate the rest of the bedroom, then move on to the kitchen and bathroom so they all are as streamlined and simplified as the living room.
More details on my progress are in related posts.
