2011 Goals

Share it Please
Not to brag or anything, but I'm pretty good at New Year's resolutions and goals. I set them, I achieve them. Granted, the last time I set them was something like 2007, when they were "exercise 3 times a week", "compete in at least one 3-day event with Moe" (my horse), and "stop moping so much". For 2011, my goal set is a bit different- Johnny and I have joint resolutions:

  • Join the local rec center. Both of us are feeling pretty unhealthy and fat. We were on our way to healthier living when training for a 5K in the fall, but my passionate hatred of running sort of killed it. (That and the searing pain in my foot bones and hip joint.) The rec center has a pool, a variety of cardio and strength training equipment, and lots of classes to help us be less disgusting.
  • Remodel the master bathroom. Someday I'll take some pictures; the master bathroom is nearly unlivable. The shower does this weird squishy thing in certain spots, the floor is starting to peel away at the edges, the sink wiggles and doesn't drain, the mirror and shelf weren't adhered to the wall properly, and the cabinets smell weird. Since Johnny decided he could live without a $5,000 steam shower, we should have enough to fund the project by summer. We'll be painting, installing floors, tiling the shower area, and replacing the sink. Johnny's hoping to build cabinets, too. 
  • Paint and revamp the bedrooms. One of the bedrooms (currently set up as Johnny's office) is a lurid purple color. It also has a very ugly white ceiling fan and light pink carpet. The bedroom that's currently set up as a TV room is a weird beige color, features a multicolored kids' ceiling fan, and worn blue carpet. A fresh coat of paint, new carpet, and new ceiling fans/light fixtures will really make a difference in these rooms. 
  • Fix the hole in the ceiling. Remember that hole I put in the ceiling a few months ago? Yeah, we still haven't fixed that.
  • Plant a vegetable garden. We have a very nice plot to the side of the house that the previous owners had a small vegetable garden in. We're going to revive it and plant a variety of good things to eat!
What are your goals for 2011?
