Hi all!
Any New Year's resolutions or goals? My goals for 2011:
1. Get back on track with weight loss (except the day we have the lunch, calories don't count when we have our GTG, lol).
2. Finish the mini-makeover of our kitchen (we bought a house in May and the lady liked pink and birdhouses). DH is running a gas line for a new stove, we're redoing the cabinets, installing new countertops and cabinet hardware. We've already stripped the wallpaper (all 50 layers of it) and this weekend plan on patching and painting.
3. Install new floor in the house.
4. Pay off some debt (DH has been laid off for a bit, once he's back working, it will be easier to do that).
5. Ignore some of what my MIL says and let DH "handle" her.
Re: 2011 Resolutions/Goals?
I'll jump in! I'm glad to see the board is starting to liven up a bit
1) Finally reach my weigh loss goal - I have 22 lbs to go!
2) Start a new hobby. I've been wanting to learn to knit/crochet, so I need to get moving on it.
3) Be happy. I need to stop comparing myself to others in every aspect.
4) Finish up the house projects that have been undone for awhile.
5) I have a financial savings goal I want to reach this year.
My goals:
1 Be happy
2 Start a savings account for our future baby. To help with the inital costs..
3, Get Healtly and loose some weight so my body is healthy when we TTC
4, Get more organized
5, Find a new hobby as well as my 111 books in 2011!
I'm trying to be reasonable with mine because I NEVER keep resolutions, so:
1) Exercise at least 2 times a week (30 mins each time)
2) Don't bring any work home Tuesday night (I don't currently bring it home for the weekend either, but I'm finally settled enough that I can nix another day!)
1 Research other job options.
2 Make a baby.
3 Continue with healthy eating and add more exercise.
4 Save for our kitchen.
5 Make a baby.
My turn
1. Stick with Weight Watchers and work out at least twice a week.
2. Conceive a baby
3. Find a new home and sell ours
4. Continue my photography hobby and hope that it possibly could turn into a partial career
5. Try to be less judgmental of people.
I actually LOL at this because mine is a bit opposite. I have some major issues with my MIL as in she will LIE about anything and everything. I mean you could be looking a something with her and she will argue about what color it is. Most of it is stupid but it's to start drama. She doesn't want my husband and his brother to be close because then she can't thrive off drama. It's just ridiculous. Anyway, I respect my elders and before I would just tell my DH the issue and then he would go to his mom. I felt that she would do things more often because she thought I was afraid to stick up for myself or say what I felt. So.... from now on DH told me to "handle" it unless I felt that I couldn't. I confronted her about something on New Years Day and she actually apologized. It was probably fake but maybe he was right. Ok sorry that was LONG!!
