Just for the record

Just for the record and in no particular order my goals for 2009 are:

  1. Be better at keeping in touch with friends

  1. See my sisters more often

  1. Sort out my finances - Well, that sounds easy! Not! I haven’t blogged about my financial ditch in a while, so just to update: the ditch has deepened and following the meeting I have on 21st Jan I’ll know whether I’ll be filing for bankruptcy or not. Nuff said.

  1. Move - Very closely connected to No.3 as you can imagine! I’m paying an extortionate amount of rent at the moment and need to economise. (My request for a rent reduction was very politely declined.) I’m feeling quite stressed about moving again because I’ve already moved twice in the last year and a half.

  1. Stop smoking - I’ve been listening to all the signs telling me it’s time to quit. I have an appointment at the doctors on Monday 12th Jan. I have 5 packs of my lovely ciggies left. And, I’m TOTALLY interested in electronic fags.

  1. Improve fitness and lose 10lbs

  1. Send that letter to my dad

  1. Talk with my family about doing something for my mum’s grave

  1. Get a mouth guard - How attractive! Would it surprise you to know that I grind my teeth in my sleep? Thought not.

  1. Continue to be positive and thankful for my blessings & privileges. 2009 IS going to be a good year

Oh, I seem to have popped in on a lover's spat of some sort. ... Um, do you and Butch know each other. (grin)

... One of these days I should write that letter to my dad too. ... but not today.

These sound like great goals. I read the father post. I think I'll make one of my goals to write mine a letter telling him that I forgive him for picking me up by the neck, shoving me against a wall, & telling me I "would not be gay" twenty years ago. I forgive you Dad. I know you were just scared for me back then & you have accepted me for who I am & still love me. I forgive you.

Stop smoking, Rose. It's killing ya!

i think you should reconsider #12. cause button mushrooms really rock a fried breakfast.

these are inspiring goals & i wish you lots of luck with them. i wish i could offer to help you move but alas! the plane ticket would be far more than just hiring the "man with a van" or whatever. financial worries suck but they always do seem to pass--i'm hoping yours get sorted easily & quickly.

oh, and i love the one about your sisters. my fg often says similar things. i don't think i have ever made a resolution to see my brothers more often, nor they me. so much easier being a boy. ;)
