I’m going to try to be more mindful and grateful for what I have. I also like to plan household goals around the new year too… build a root cellar in the basement, add a few more raised beds in the back yard…just a few small tasks!

I have a few goals for the new year, I am going refurbished my own blog and finish all my entries from Europe. I am also planning on writing a joint cook book. I would also like to take a writing class and a photography class maybe.
I think that fixing the Bathroom fans might be trump the compost… what about a joint resolution !… the back 40 needs to be harvested and cultivated.
Sorry … I missed your Joint resolutions …
Roast a chicken…?
My goal(s) are to benchmark in derby and get drafted on a team!
Mine is to live a healthier lifestyle (exercising, less drinking, more sleeping, eating better) while trying to keep on top of my full course load and working really late hours on the weekends. I have to try to stay as organized as possible so that I’m not bald by february from pulling out my own hair.
Ok… I am jumping into this and committing my goals to your blog! (why does that seem scary?) My goals are to 1. stop wasting time worrying and start wasting time living (ie more hiking, sunsets, guilt free moments — yes there will ALWAYS be MORE things I SHOULD be doing but why not enjoy the small and spontaneous too!) 2. pitch a tv show to the OWN network (time to stop waiting for the lawyers and take the plunge – now, if I just knew someone who could get me an appointment…)
