Mommy Moments- December 22, 2008
********************************
Every year around this time, I sit and write out four to five resolutions for the next year. These usually include: lose weight, eat healthier, exercise more, better job, better apartment, ect. And, every year, I break all but one or two of these.
This year, I’m trying something a little different. A friend of mine let me in on the idea of 101 in 1001. The goal is to make a list of 101 things you want to accomplish in the next 1001 days (about 2.75 years.) The goals need to be concrete. So instead of “lose weight,” you would write “lose 15 lbs.” Your goals should all be things that you can realistically accomplish, and things that are meaningful to you.
I am still writing my list. It’s a lot harder than it sounds. I will officially start my 1001 days on January 1st, and I have until September 29th, 2011 to complete it. Some of my list is work oriented. Some of my goals are for things I would like to purchase (new bed, food processor). Other goals are for travel (Michigan) and date nights.
I will be posting my list as soon as it’s completed. The next few days are crazy busy, for everyone, so it won’t be until next week. It’s coming though. Promise.
On another topic, trying to shop at the Carousel Center (in Syracuse) on the Saturday before Christmas is a stupid idea. And I am blaming it on my husband. Because all I wanted to do was see the Lights on the Lake. He wanted to shop. Because he doesn’t understand how many other people have the same stupid idea. Now he knows…
It was a lot of fun, though.
