10 in 2010!

Hello all and Happy New Year! So a very inspirational blogger listed all the things she's learned since being banded this year. She called in her 9 in '09. I thought that was a great idea. However, I haven't learned much that I care to share this year so instead,I'm going list all the things I hope to accomplish in 2010. (Does anyone else find themselves saying oh-10 like '09? I just can't stop! Anyhoo..) I want to be clear. These are not resolutions. Resolutions are almost meant to be broken. They have a bad connotation and I'm known for even worse follow-through. So they're merely goals. Things I want to do this year. So...with no additional ado...drumroll please...
MY TOP 10 FOR 2010!
1. Potty Train my youngest daughter
2. Get a book contract for my nonfiction piece
3. Lose 60 pounds (how many times have I made that resolution?)
4. Obtain and contribute to an actual savings account
5. Create a weekly budget
6. Stick to said budget
7. Walk 4 times a week
8. Leave a note for my hubby somewhere once a week where I can tell him why I appreciate him or just to say thank you for something he did.
9. Complete Couch to 5K (very cool program you can learn more about here... http://www.c25k.com/)
10. Participate in the Susan G Komen 3-Day for the Cure (more info here... http://www.the3day.org/site/PageServer)
The last one's a biggie! I'll go into more details about all of these at some point but just wanted to let y'all know where my mind's at these days! Happy Wednesday Everybody!

Oh I love these!!

You have a book or story you're trying to get published? Been there done that.. I really hope you succeed!!! Good thoughts on this one happening for you. x

I love No. 8. Might do that one myself. I love my hubby to death and want him to know it. The note idea is a top one.

Good luck with your list and getting them done!! We are here cheering you on all the way.

Thanks ladies. Cara - it's a nonfiction book I WANT to write about night terrors in adults. From what I've found, there's only like 1 published book on the subject. Apparently in nonfiction, it all starts with a proposal so we'll see.
