So a year ago I wrote down a whack of things I wanted to accomplish in '07. Let's see how I did...
Did I...
get paid what I'm worth... Sure I guess so. I'm self employed now and doing very well, so yes. Accomplished.
take a real vacation... See self-employment. I took a week off to visit family in the summer. And a week for Xmas with family, too.
spend more time with my friends, and less with my work. (yeah, right)... I did see a lot more of Laurie, Peter and the lads, as well as Amber, Tobias and the kiddo. Done.
meet a man over 35 that isn't psychotic, messed up, married, desperate or angry that can string together 5 words and doesn't eat like a pig, hump my leg in public or smash beer cans on his head... Met plenty that had one or all attributes. Still single, though.
buy a real couch. Like a new one... Nope.
go to the art gallery once every three months. And the theatre, too... Nope and nope.
start my sommelier training. For real.... YES!!!
learn to not take crap personally and take power from being inoffensable... I think I'm getting better at this.
drink better wine, not more wine. (Who am I kidding?)... I drank some fantastic wine this year. And a lot of it.
get my wisdom teeth pulled out, instead of bearing the pain so I can work more... Still got 'em.
eat well everyday, not just the three days after payday... Yes. I cooked more, ate out at will and generally did not starve.
lose 20 pounds and get some muscle tone back so that carrying groceries up the stairs doesn't give me a coronary... I've lost 15 so far, and still more to come. Walking everywhere works.
stop looking for greener pastures and make the best of what I have, without being bitter or ungrateful... Well, I left my last job, if that's what I'm referring to. And I'm happy with my position in life. For now.
start writing my book. Not just taking notes, but like putting the damn thing together. Absolutely not. No where even close to this one.
Next post I'll set up my '08 goals...
