Resolutions are a terrible idea

I don’t want to make resolutions. Mainly b/c I’d be too embarrassed to admit later on that I’ve failed to keep them. I’ve never been able to keep any promises to myself and am especially bad when it comes time for Lent. It’s only 40 days but goodness those 40 days can seem like years.

That being said, I’d like to present you with some goals for the upcoming year.

• Be a third less in debt. I had been referring to 2008 as the year I get out of debt. That’s not going to happen unless I win the lottery. The lottery I don’t play. Realistically it’s going to take me about 3-5 years to get out of debt, depending on which debt we’re looking at. Because my husband and I just bought a new car we’re obviously not going to pay that off in 3 years or less. But as far as credit card debt goes, I think one third less is feasible and if I am even more out of debt by January 1st, 2009, then go me! Basically I’m looking to pay off and close my two store cards, finish paying my medical bill from the surgery that didn’t work, and pay off and close my lowest credit line credit card.

• Get my 100th workout shirt from Curves by my 25th birthday. I have about 10 workouts under my belt so far and my birthday is May 12. If I go 3 times a week I’ll only get 56 more workouts in. That’s not going to help me reach my goal. Some weeks I will need to go 5 times a week in order to obtain this goal. I think I can do it. I mean it’s right up the road and it’s only 1/2 and hour. How lazy am I if I don’t get 100 workouts by my 25th?

• Plan and execute Blog Con 08. It’s going to be amazing. On Monday I’ll be posting the first official all Blog Con post. Stay tuned.

• Get the damned cats de-clawed. I just can’t take it anymore.

I think these are good goals. There aren’t that many of them and I’d only be intensifying what I already do. If I keep that attitude, I think this is all quite feasible!
