Oh the humanity. Way too much egg nog last night. Okay, I always pooh-pooh this, but I always end up doing this anyway, so here are 2007's goals:
1. Stop biting my fingernails. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Thanks Sassy Jo!]
2. Start running again every morning.
3. Stop spending money outside my budget.
4. Start saving for retirement seriously.
5. Practice at least one instrument every day.
6. Return phone calls within 24 hours.
7. Stop talking about people.
8. Go to the gym at least three times a week. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Good Lord, what was I thinking.]
9. Take better care of my car.
10. Pay better attention to my plants. [UPDATE (12/31/07): So much better, except for the China trip. Don't ask what happened to all of them while I was gone.]
11. Read War and Peace. Yeah right. Read Barack Obama's new book.
12. Finish painting my kitchen cabinets.
13. Finish slipcovering my sofas.
14. Learn to play the oboe. Really.
15. Buy a piccolo. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Done!!]
16. Lose enough weight to get back into my birthday dress.
17. Brush and floss three times a day. Floss. Uggh.
18. Test my blood sugar at least six times a day. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Done!]
19. Pay more attention to what I wear. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Much better.]
20. Pay less attention to what I can't fit into.
21. Clean the bathroom more regularly than I have been.
22. Fold the laundry after I wash it so my husband isn't stuck doing it.
23. Finish learning Flash.
24. Start learning Dreamweaver or GoLive.
25. Try not to hate Nick Saban. Continue to dislike Mal Moore. [UPDATE (12/31/07): He did admirably well, I think, given what he had to work with.]
26. Go to at least one college football game, Alabama or Maryland.
27. Go to bed before 1 AM most nights.
28. Pay all my bills on time or ahead of time. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Score! Credit score, that is.]
29. Pay off my credit cards. [UPDATE (12/31/07): 2 out of 3 ain't bad.]
30. Be excited about my thirtieth birthday. [UPDATE (12/31/07): Very well done. Of course, having a party for two hundred of your closest friends always helps!]
