Looking ahead for 2009.

I don't usually do New Year's Resolutions. It doesn't seem like anyone ever achieves them. But I do think goals are necessary to being successful (not only in a career, but in life), and so I am going to commit myself in writing to some goals I have that I will be working on this year.

1. Be more "cool." Dear reader of my blog: you don't really know me. You may think you do, and you may think this bright cheery pink exterior reflects the real-life me ... but it doesn't. I can't even begin to say what kinds of clothes I wore in high school, it would be too graphic for you. I'm not thin, my hair isn't perfect, I generally don't wear makeup due to sheer laziness ... I'm not cool. And my clothes still aren't the best. Like right now? I'm wearing a t-shirt with a monkey on it. I feel like I'm 10. Anyways, so I'm going to be more cool this year. I'm going to buy only cool clothes. I'm going to do only cool things (like going to Denver instead of going to the library). You may catch a glimpse of my new cool self here on the blog as I detail all the cool things I'm doing and wearing.

2. Wash more. I'm not Suzie Homemaker. But my goal is to wash more dishes, wash more counters, wash more toilets, wash more laundry, etc. The theory is that not only will I be happier with a cleaner environment, but the Hubster will also be happier since he will have to wash less.

3. Be more active. Instead of sitting on my butt all day long at work, and then sitting on my butt all evening on the couch, I am going to be more active. That could be walking on a treadmill or walking to a hip restaurant. That could be taking a Pilates class or taking a guitar lesson. I'm pretty sure this is going to help me with Goal #1.

Do you have any goals for this year?
