This must be some kind of a record...

2 Days in a row. I'm on a roll!

As promised, here is a list of the things I hope to accomplish in 2009. (This list should in no way be considered exhaustive and is subject to change as suits my fancy.)

1. Lay down bamboo flooring in family room (Already part of the way there since we had to pull out the old yucky carpet that was in there when the washer overflowed.)

2. Replace the washer. DONE!!

3. Clean up the back yard (Get rid of trash, left over lumber from when we pulled down an old shed, '66 VW beetle, assorted outgrown big wheels/tricycles etc.) (February/March?)

4. Build 3-4 raised garden beds where aforementioned crap previously was and plant said garden beds with an assortment of exciting vegetables. (February/March?)

5. Order exciting vegetable seeds. (February?)

6. Lose another 40 pounds

7. Visit my grandparents in Arizona

8. Spend more time with friends and family

9. Get organized (Home, work, life etc.)

10. Paint remaining white walls something NOT white

11. Keep chipping away at making the bathroom more not yucky

12. Laugh with my kids every day

13. Train the dog

14. Streamline my life

15. Landscape the front yard and put up a fence (2010?)

16. Fix the gate (Been on a "Honey Do" list for a while)

17. Rearrange/reorganize the bedrooms, starting with the kids

18. Go back to school (April?)

19. Pay off credit cards

20. Blog regularly

21. Be more comfortable with myself

A pretty good start right? The front yard will likely be put off until '10 but it could happen. It's a long list but it touches on many different aspects of my life and the lives of my family. I'm a pretty good multi-tasker and some of it just won't happen and that's OK too.
