  • Those are some pretty great, concrete goals, WOP.

    A few of mine:

    Winter: reorganize boxed belongings, take inventory and keep list on door of attic

                grow program for little job by 4 participants

                start year long campaign to write more cards/letters/postcards to friends and family

    Spring: secure internship

    Summer: fun family getaway

    Fall: finish masters classes

    Nonseasonal (and maybe more hopes, as I don't have as much control over this as I'd like : find full time job

                  sell house

  • My only goal for this year is to:

             be healthy, not to have to have any more surgeries, and be able to spend quality time with my LO.  I feel like I have missed out on so much of her short 3 1/2 years due to major health issues :(

  • Mine are:

    - Run a 5k

    - Start our LLC (I think we finally agreed on a name.  Party!!!)

    - Get my AA (or at least get very close.)

  • Good goals, everyone.  You got me thinking about this.  Mine are:

    - Edit my 2010 Nanowrimo book (or at least read it).

    - Sort, print, and create albums for pictures from the past four years.

    - Cut back on my volunteer hours.

    - Make a decision about whether or not to have a kid someday.

    Oh, wow!  2012 is going to be a big year!  Does B want them, or is he on the fence too?

    I want to add this to my list too, except for Baby #2.  Do we want or don't we want?

    2012 is intended to be decision year only.  B is also on the fence.  Hence, the total lack of decision for the past 6 years. 

    Good luck with your decision!

  • Goals are difficult for people like me with no ambition. :-P

    I guess these are some things I want to do:

    • Pass the WMTD tests with Toby and begin regular volunteering
    • Decorate a room in our home - we've lived there 4 years and barely done a thing because we'd rather spend our money on traveling.  Since we're cutting back traveling, we should have a dollar or two for the house
    • Improve my photography and photoshop skills
    • Set a PR at the Riverbank Run

    That's all I got.

    Thanks.  We'll need it.  Tongue Tied

  • Kasa, that's a lot of pressure on 2012 (and you and B).  I wish you clarity and peace with whatever you decide.

  • Hehe.  Maybe a nestie poll will help with the decision process.  I think I know which way GRSP would vote.
  • "other"  ;)

    I want you guys to figure out what's best for you.  I love babies and kids, but I want my friends to be comfortable and happy with their life choices more.

    Oh yes. You will definitely want to include the results on your spreadsheet ;)

    Yes

  • Kasa, that's a great goal.  Good luck with whatever you decide.  There's no right or wrong.  Some people just aren't into having kids, and that's ok.  No shame. 

    I will say though, that being a mom is magical despite all the sleeplessness, crying, dirty diapers, and tears.   At the end of the day it's totally worth it.  Smile  This is coming from someone who used to say they'd never have kids.
