My goals for 2008

I decided I would make my goal list a little early this year, every year like many other people worldwide, I like to start my goals on a said date, usually the new year, and be lazy in a sense that I won’t work on these goals until then. I think it’s mighty funny myself really. But hey if I can grab inspiration from the new day of a new year, then why the hell not. I am not going into my goals, saying I will succeed, but I do have intentions of succeeding, I think that may set me up for failure, but if I do fail with good intentions, is that still failing? I at least tried right? lol Before I confuse myself further, here is my list of goals for 2008.

1. Getting my old body back, it may take me all year, but this is my highest priority goal.

2. Moving sometime in the middle of the year or sooner, to a more suitable place for my family.

3. Hopefully getting a job in the fall of next year when my oldest starts school, or perhaps sooner, if I can get the financial aid for the ridiculous childcare costs.

4. Going further with my photography, and hopefully grab a spot in a flea market sometime in the summer, to sell some of my work.

5. Seeing my family again back east, and getting my dad to go with me to a tattoo shop to get matching tattoo’s, maybe I can convince my auntie of the same.

6. Not cutting my hair all year, this is an odd one yes, but for me it’s also hard, I want long hair, but I keep cutting it off, so this next year I am not going to cut it at all.

7. Making the trip to see my old friends, it’s important to me, I haven’t been back since I moved away, and I want to see where I grew up, I heard someone is taking really nice care of the place, which makes me happy.

8. Getting more sleep, I don’t get near enough as I should, likely due to my caffeine intake, but that will decrease, and hopefully I can sleep better when I need to. Staying up until 2 in the morning and getting up only 5 hours later is killing me.
9. Along with getting my old body back, I plan on taking up running, so this goal is completing a mile in less then 9 minutes. I imagine if I try right now to do a mile, my time would be at least 13 minutes, I am not sure, I will test that out soon. My fastest time when I was a fit little chica, was 7 minutes and 32 seconds, which was decent.

I wanted to think of ten goals, but I think the 9 that I have right here is plenty, I don’t want to set to many now, that would be silly. lol. So that’s all my goals for 2008, have you made your list yet? I suggest you don’t wait until New Years Eve or something.
