1. Loose 80lbs - yup, that is 4 20lb bag o' potatoes that I intend to loose. Battling my weight has been an issue since about, ooooo.... grade 5. I've played the on the weight loss wagon, off the weight loss wagon better than some Vancouverites during NHL playoffs when the Canucks happen to make it to round 2. This goal will probably materialize into additional posts, so I will leave it here for now.
2. Travel to Mexico & Las Vegas - at the tender age of 31 (ssshhh don't tell anyone k, it's our secret) I have never been to either of these places. I have always viewed travelling to these destinations a "right of passage" during your 20's that I missed for a ton of reasons and excuses that sounded really good at the time, so this year they are being ticked off my "to do" list.
3. For #2 to actually materialize I need to get a passport, that's right never had one. I have however printed the form several times, had a friend pick one up and even fill out the "I'm signing for this person" portion, but have never dropped it off so this one will actually be completed before the end of January. Again, I have some really valid reasons and excuses, we all have them, come on don't even pretend like you don't!
4. Get my driver's license. This one I really only want so that when I have a few days off in a row I can drive up and see my mom because I MISS HER! My mom = my best friend, but alas that is another post :)
P.S - this is also another one of those "right of passage" things.
5. Have professional photos taken of myself. This mostly stems from wanting to get really comfortable with having my picture taken, which stems from confidence issues, which stems from my weight and hmmm maybe I should lay down on a couch....
6. Tackle and continually give up what others think and say about me. I don't want to let people's mean words and/or actions stop me from going after what I want in life. I say and do enough means things to myself, trust me I don't need anyone else's help!
7. Learn to Golf.... you might be asking "What for?" Well, it looks like really good exercise and kinda fun. Please note I said learn to golf, NOT watch golf, because that is boring!
8. Learn to Snowboard, because it looks like sooooo much fun and cute boys do it :)
9. Learn and master the art of saving money. At this point in time I have stared down the barrel of some pretty serious money issues and never want to return to the place I was financially a few years ago. I would quickly be back there if I was to loose my job because I have no savings at all and I believe that financial support provided by yourself and no one else, adds to a sense of pride and freedom, which I want to experience.
10. In addition and in support of #9 - start a stock portfolio/invest. I have been reading "Smart Cookies" (again another post) and have found this book to be quite amazing! If you are female, pick it up and read it!
So there they are ladies and gentlemen, my 10 goals to accomplish this year!
Oh, one more thing. I am not a writer so if you are reading this and getting annoyed by all the grammatical errors, typo's and slang words, for the love of Pete, let it go, relinquish the control issues, this blog isn't about that!
