Look at I Failed Miserably Last Year!!

Hmm. Last year didn't go as well as I had planned.
  • We paid off a bunch of debt, yes. That was nice. But then we ran up our giant credit card to the limit with Christmas and spent our emergency fund on vacation in FEBRUARY. Not exactly a resounding success. Well, when you fall off the bike, all you can do is try again. So, I will be TRYING AGAIN THIS YEAR!!
  • Totally let go of planning meals and doing coupons. I got pretty depressed last year (no specific reason, but I think abandoning working out didn't help!) and so I started antidepressants in the summer and am all sorted out now. So, I think it is time to give it a go again.
  • House kept getting disorganized and organized and over and over all year long. But see #1!!
So, I am attempting to do it all again this year! Well, in a more 2010 friendly way anyway!

On March 1, 2010 I would like to:
  • have main living areas (i.e. not the basement) organized and livable (i.e. not shoving stuff when people come over) on a daily basis.
  • Donating to the church every week and looking for other ways to donate.
  • Have walked at least 1/2 hour every day from Jan 1 on.
On June 1, 2010 I would like to:
  • have bought flooring for the main level
  • Keeping up-to-date with the house and have kids area of basement organized.
  • Still walking 1/2 every day and having added strength training 3 x week since March 1.
On September 1, 2010 I would like to:
  • Paid off the van (is officially due to be gone in October, I think)
  • Walking 1/2 hour every day, doing strength training 3 x week and one day a week walking for an hour or more.
  • Keeping up to date with the house and my room in basement.
  • Stayed up to date with the garden, not wasting any food and canning at least 3 different items for the winter.
On December 31, 2010 I would like to:
  • Be living within our means and saving "some"
  • hardwood floors installed in the lower level and a island figured out
  • donating money regularly and an emergency fund saved ($1000)
