Thirty Resolutions: 2008 Edition

It's time once again to revisit and revise the resolutions for this year. Feh. More work to do. (List after the jump.)

  1. Rejoin the union. (Don't ask, long story.) (January)
  2. Give that contractor a call and play for him finally. (November)
  3. Pay off my new flute.
  4. Practice flute every day as much as possible.
  5. Learn to really play the oboe and make reeds so I don't sound like a duck. (Sold the oboe after realizing I needed a much better instrument.)
  6. Pay off the remaining credit cards.
  7. Live out of the fridge, not the takeout box.
  8. Save more money.
  9. Lose some weight. (How much I'm not sure, but any amount is good.)
  10. Keep my A1C down below 7.0
  11. Keep up with my friends, call them back, and spend more time with them.
  12. Keep the house clean myself or hire a maid.
  13. Do more relaxing things. (Made a conscious decision on this in November.)
  14. Stress about work less, enjoy my work more.
  15. Stand up for myself and speak my mind.
  16. Keep my desk clean.
  17. Keep my reed table clean and actually use it.
  18. Finish my home projects and knitting projects.
  19. Fold the laundry and put it away immediately.
  20. Go to at least one college football game, Alabama or Maryland.
  21. Read War and Peace. No, I'm serious this time.
  22. Get 8 hours of sleep whenever I can. (Did pretty good on this one)
  23. Call people back promptly. (Did better on this one too.)
  24. Read more books. (Audible.com counts, right?)
  25. Clean out and organize the storage closets. (June)
  26. Talk to my family more often.
  27. Listen to more music for the sake of learning something new.
  28. Be a more involved teacher.
  29. Mind my garden better. (EPIC. FAIL.)
  30. Be nicer to the people who matter.
