Resolutions and Goals, part 1

Yes, I make them on New Years. Lets see how I did. Just looking in my journal from last year at my goals for 2008.

1. Set up art table - studio corner - and have working projects going on.
I did pretty well with this one. I made some art I like for my design class. Drew Ivan a few times. Started crafting again this fall. I'll go ahead and be generous with myself and check this off.

2. Write some songs.
Nope. Not done. But I did start a new journal with the goal of getting more poetic. Let's see where it leads.

3. take a good crack at a garden.
Nope. Not even a bad crack at one.

4. Get Maxine a bike. Go to the park and ride a lot.
Check! We did this! And she's riding without training wheels. More biking goals to come for next year.

5. Go to Soulard on Saturdays. Renew effort to buy locally.
Check. Fell off the wagon post-partum, but got back on with the fall harvest.

6. Get involved in activist community. Check out CAMP free skool.
Nope. I think I joined the free skool mailing list, but nothing ever came of it.

7. Online less.
Nope. Hello, facecrack! I mean facebook!

8.Acquire/organize the baby stuff I will need for minimal money.
Check!

9. Get a sewing machine.
Gee, I wanted one a year ago, too? Still haven't done it.

10. Garage Sales.
uh, I think I went to one.

11.Get my artwork on a website.
Nope.

12. Homebirth
check!


Coming next, goals for 2009.

I'm impressed that you accomplished some of your goals. I made one: Scrapbook more. I was a spectacular failure; didn't even make page one.

I decided to aim lower this year, and goal myself to clean out my e-mail in-box. 2,000+ messages is a lot.

Blythe, that's more of a goal for a day, not a whole year.

I don't think you know my e-mail box. It takes a long time to sort through that much (AND keep on top of it, which is part of the goal).
