I'm not really a New Year's resolution kind of girl (this surprises people). I am huge on goals, but I'm more of a do what I want when I wank kind of a gal (I don't necessary think January 1st best time to set goals), but this year I have found myself with a whole slew of New Year's resolutions and you know what they say, "If you don't write it down, it won't happen" and... my list is so long that I'm having a hard time remembering them all in my head. So, without further ado, I bring you my 2013 New Year's resolutions. In no particular order...
* Take the kids on at least one family vacation, somewhere that takes either several hours in a car or an airplane to get there. We're thinking sea level.
* Plant at least one tree
* Improve my garden (vegetable, herb and flower)
* Get lean in 13! Lose 7 pounds and change my physique, I'll spare you any more details.
* Clean up my eating a bit. It's not bad, but there is always room for improvement. I want to buy more local and organic food.
* Get new floors!!!
* Redo the bathroom... again!
* Try a new class
* Paint our cabinets
* Redo our 72 hour kits
* Become more "emergency prepared"
* Improve our food storage and better organize it
* Clean out our garage. I always hope that people don't judge us by the way our garage looks! Our house doesn't look like our garage. Well, at least not all of the time.
* Increase our life insurance
* Achieve our financial savings goal
* Get London's birth certificate. Yes, she is 16 months old. No, I never got her birth certificate. I don't know why, at first I spaced it and then it was one of those things on my list of things to do that ALWAYS gets put onto the next day's list.
* Read at least 12 chapter books with Brinley (one per month)
* Date more. No, not more than one person, but date my husband more. I know I should have a set goal here like every week or something, but I can't right now. It's too hard. Ok, the goal is once a week, but I'm not really expecting to achieve it. We did so good at weekly date nights pre-London. Things change, but yeah, just more dates.
* Complete 100 random acts of kindness
* Print two years worth of blog books. Yeah, I'm behind on that too. Are you surprised?
* Family night! Yeah, again we were great at this pre-London. Weekly family night is the goal.
* And speaking of how kids change things and make things hard, my next goal is to put some thought into baby # 3 cause kids are the best and we love them!
* Get my patriarchal blessing.
* Perfect our budget. This is more of a 'should be' goal than an actual goal because it probably won't happen, but I want to want to make it happen. It's SO hard! Everything is ALWAYS changing and blah. We aren't good at it. There I said it, but we wish we were so that's kind of like a New Year's resolution, right? Spend every penny on paper with purpose, blah blah.
* Play more! There have been times where all we do is play. I'm sad to say 2012 was not that way. Sure we play, but we will play a whole lot more in 2013!
Wish me luck!
