2012 New Years Resolutions

[Griff]

I don't expect to turn it into a business as scaling things up would require more water and feed resources than I presently want to commit to. Extra animals could, however, create a way to pay for professional butchering and provide some income.

[Clodfobble]

Yeah, I kind of thought part of the barrier to doing beef, at least, was slaughtering a single cow made for way too much meat for one family. Chickens and lambs you can do on a small scale, but you can't really raise a quarter of a cow.

[Stormieweather]

Well I'll be serious. This is more of a plan than a list of resolutions. Sort of a "to-do" list.

FITNESS:

1) Log in to MFP every day (and log my food/exercise)
2) Track my progress with graphs and spreadsheets (did best this year when I did this)
3) Reach my goal weight (no more stopping because this is "good enough").
4) Be able to run 3 miles without stopping to walk.
5) Run a 5k race.

PERSONAL:

1) Spend more time enjoying life and less time pursuing pointless activities (ie: surfing the internet).
2) Spend as much time as possible with my children and partner. Kids grow up so fast!
3) Get back into my jewelry-making.
4) Remember to smile, smell the flowers, pet more puppies and don't sweat the small stuff.
5) Get some necessary dental work done.

FINANCIAL:

1) Save X dollar per month, per my long term financial plan.
2) Take certain steps towards rebuilding credit.
3) Continue to look for ways to cut the grocery bill.
4) Locate a couple of legal documents necessary in order to renew my license in 2013.

ENTERTAINMENT:

1) Take at least 1 vacation

I'm adopting the JBK posting style.

I don't typically make resolutions, I just end up disappointing myself. There's the long running reminder every year to make sure I fill out comment cards or put a word in for the manager if I get great service somewhere. That's really just become a way of life, because I know how good it feels.

When it comes to ME, I know I need to be kinder to myself, so maybe I'll cut back on my self-deprecating humor. Maybe I'll say a nice thing or two to myself now and again. You know, real stuff, not like bragging about my great eyebrows, *snicker* things I actually DO. Positive affirmations.

Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and goshdarnit, a couple people like me.
(Crap this is going to be harder than I thought.)

Double posting? I hadn't noticed that was his style.

[infinite monkey]

Oh, he's more professional. It's double threads for him.

You hadn't noticed?

I only noticed the resoulutions thread.

[infinite monkey]

Oh, but that was only one thread by him re: resolutions.

Two threads for for his poem, and I get why.

[monster]

JBK starts a new thread for each of his poems and musings. It's his style. He doesn't really seem to read much of the board, so he probably doesn't notice the other threads that would be appropriate to add his input to rather than starting a new thread. could be related to his other issues -it's kind of an introspective style. imo

I think I might start starting a new thread for each thought I have.......

........but if I whittled it down to each original thought.... *crickets*

[infinite monkey]

Yeah, that's true.

I'm glad JBK feels he can contribute, though. It wasn't about him. It was about me and my insecurity crap. Which I was resolving to resolve, but have already unresolved.

[monster]

You have another 48 hours to practice......

Do you think I should resolve to reply to every single post during 2012?

[infinite monkey]

I double dare ya!

[HungLikeJesus]

Would that include responding to your own responses?

That could put you in an infinite loop and you might explode.

[infinite monkey]

Infinite will ALWAYS make you explode. Um, er...
