January Goals/ February Aspirations 

In the spirit of accountability, I am sharing my monthly goals. It's nice to have a list of things you want to accomplish and accomplish them. I'm proud of what I have done the first month of this new year.

January 2010 goals:
  1. Lose five pounds.--I lost three.
  2. Run/weight train at least twice during work week/once on weekend.-- I did that for two weeks.
  3. Create financial forecast for year and budget for month. We did a fairly good job at keeping up with it.
  4. Redevelop DVRP Board application.
  5. Read one book that is business related.
  6. Finish "The Corrections."--Goshdarnknit. I couldn't finish it still. Such a bad habit.
  7. Get anniversary dates of friends and family.
  8. Brainstorm proper systems for HBDC!.
  9. Plan weekly menus.--Ooh, so close. But, fell during the last week.
  10. Try on all my business clothes. Donate/tailor/trash.--Argh. Too Lazy To Try.
  11. Reorganize downstairs office.--Sorta, but not done yet.
  12. Clean out garage.--Ha.
