My New Years Resolutions
My Personal Goal:
My personal goals for this year are simple.. to live for myself. To do what feels right for me. I would like to spend more time focusing on health and fitness. I would like to learn to cook, and overall I want to enjoy many new experiences.
Financial Goal:
Once again, my goal is to continue digging myself out of debt. I have been at this for 2 years now and the light is finally visible at the end of the tunnel. If I continue this journey, I will be completely out of debt this time next year :)
I would also like to start a savings account and actually keep the money in there!
Educational Goals: I am thinking that I would like to go for that wound care certification. It is a rough amount of money, but I am sure I can find a way to get it together. I would also like to start back to school this fall to finally get this RN program started!
Family Goals: I am now on my own… just me and my babies. I would like to find new things to do with the kids. I want to introduce them to a variety of experiences. I think we might also try swim lessons this year.
So, where does that leave me……
The criteria: The tasks must be specific with a result that is clearly defined.

January 1st, 2011
End Date:

Dee´s last blog .. PhewIm Back – Our Christmas
I know.. that is going to be tough.. but I thought it would easier than attempting to lay off the caffeine!
So I haven’t been reading your blog that closely lately, but we met a long time ago on myspace I think? What happened to your hubby?
I’d like to do alot of those to!!
You can use http://101in365.com/ to do your list!

Hi, I’m a new GFC follower. I would have similar items on my list, but some like the no fast food for a month, I will not be able to do! I’m getting a pedicure and riding in a limo (both for the first time) next month :) Please visit me sometimes at http://www.bargainmom.net
Have a great weekend!
Good luck on this list! Maybe you can save it and check back at the end of 2011 and see what you have done and not done. You are a cool blogger and Iam sorry to hear about your family troubles. Good luck in everything you do. Long Live Cowboys!
