Goals 2012

Another year is fast approaching. As a matter of fact it's already arrived for some. Always a strange thought for me that somewhere on the other side of the world it's already tomorrow. For us though it's still today. Our this year, their last year. Our today, their yesterday. Anyway, enough pontificating. (I'm not really sure what pontificating means but it seems to fit.)

So, last year I made some goals. I had forgotten that I'd done that until the other day when I thought I should make some for this new year. As it happens I half completed a goal. Come to think of it I may have half completed both of my goals.  I wanted to learn to roast a chicken and I think I can say I've successfully done that. I have not however, taken a good picture of one of my roasted birds. So, half point there. I did learn more about skin care for my fairest one of all sort of by accident but I really haven't implemented any of what I learned. Also I really wanted to learn about sun skin care which I did not, just about soap skin care. Even so I'll give myself a half point for that as well. (It pays to be the point giver outer in these instances).

This year I'll start off small as well, just two goals. Two is good.

Goal one: Learn to bake a really good loaf of sandwich bread that my husband will willingly eat with joy. (This one may be a bit lofty).

Goal two: Finish the year without glasses. For years now I've wanted to have lasik done (or whatever it is called these days) but have either been pregnant or nursing. We're not looking to increase the flock anymore and the nurslings days as a nursling are numbered and hopefully so are the days of my glasses.

There you have it folks. I hope it's not too overwhelming. When I go, I like to go all out.

I hope you all (all 5 of you) have a very Happy New Year!
