Yay for 2012!

I can't believe it is already a New Year.  I feel as though the last one has just flown by, but I suppose that it will only get worse from here on out.  I am so excited to start this New Year off right.  I made a TON of personal goals.  It's probably a little too lofty even for me, but I just wanted to write them down here for my own future-self's amusement, if nothing else.  Hopefully it will at least make me feel a little responsible to accomplish them too.  I suppose only time will tell...  Here goes:
  1. Complete a sprint triathlon, 10K, and half-marathon.  (My amazing new hubby gave me a bike for Christmas so I at least have to do the sprint triathlon if nothing else!!)
  2. Find a good structural engineering job OR work on an ARL for teaching.  (I'm still unemployed and it is driving me bonkers.)
  3. Get back into playing piano by practicing drills daily and mastering 5 new pieces.
  4. Sew a new garment weekly or bi-weekly.  (I guess I will have to look at the next few months to see which-if either-is possible.)
  5. Improve my cooking skills by cooking 3 new recipes for dinner and 1 dessert from scratch every week. 
  6. Work on my Japanese by reading 3 books (one being the BOM) and watching at least 12 movies in Japanese.
  7. Finish at least 15 books this year (not including the Japanese books).
  8. Have FHE every week, go to the temple once a month, and pray every morning with my hubby. 
... And now I am done.  As you can tell, I am looking forward to an eventful and amazing new year.  Hopefully I won't be slacking.  So good luck with your resolutions too and let's ganbaru together!

  1. Yay for goals! Are you unemployed living in St. George? I am reading a Japanese book called Homeless Gakusei. I really like it. It's a pretty easy, but fun read. Let me know if you'd like to read it.
