Goals for 2008- January progress report

- Pay off half of our $17,500 debt ($8750)- This may all end up being a moving fund. If we end up moving I will bump the goal to be completed by 12 months from our move date.

- Save a moving fund of $5k by May- This is going to be wonky. There is a 95% chance that they won't renew our lease (Apparently, they like it when you don't make them fix things and don't call the health department because there is black slimy mold in the pool area that they refuse to take care of. **Shrug** I would imagine that they also like it when you bank doesn't refuse them funds for no good reason, but whatever.) I really don't want to have to move in May if we are going to move out of state just a few months later. If that happens, our moving fund will need to be bumped to $10k*, and I will be clinically insane(er). (Until I figure out a better number, $10k is our goal.)

- Finish Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University- Working the plan, planning the work. Or something like that. We are starting over because we bought the newest edition (after finding out that our used kit was missing quite a bit. Humpf!)

- Lose 60 lbs.- **Cough** Next...

- Workout five days a week- How lazy am I? Don't answer that... I promise to try to work on thinking about possibly getting better about thinking about working out in February. Really. I promise.

- Send at least 1 email or card a week to someone I haven't spoken to in a while.- Please. You all know I have no problem with the talky-talk.

- Call my Grandma weekly.- Cards? Yes. Calls? If the woman would answer her phone periodically, it would be a much better world.

- Implement as many ideas from Green Boot Camp as I can- Ayup. It has been easy because so far, I already do everything. Except the scrap paper thing. I now have a reused dishpan next to my desk to catch all scrap paper, and have even been known to go through the trash (the desk trash, not the yucky kitchen trash) and dig out usable paper. Obviously my family doesn't care about the environment. Slackers.


When I went back to find the post to copy/paste my goals here I noticed that I had typed 'in particular order.' Ha!

I'm so happy to hear that my Green Boot Camp http://greenbootcamp.blogspot.com is a part of your resolutions--and that you're having a not-too-hard time following along. Keep up the good work.

FYI, I became successful in working out five days a week when I got a dog. He's gotta walk and so do I!

Thanks Leah!

I would get a dog in a second but Marty is allergic to them. :o(
