not exactly a total failure..just a small one.

since we're coming up on the end of the year very quickly i thought i better check in one last time with my list of goals i created at the beginning of the year.

01.  I need to finish the basement.  this is going to include washing and repainting the walls (with help of course!) and reorganizing everything that remains from the great flood of 2011. 

02.  change my eating lifestyle.  and, that's all I'm going to say about that here.  edit:  lose 25 lbs. (i should probably have an actual small goal to shoot for)

03.  I spend too much time of my life in front of a computer screen.  I want to keep the laptop closed while the Demon is awake in the evenings.

04.  be a better blogger.  I attempted this goal last year.  even though I started out strong.. as the year went on I bombed! (maybe?)

05.  organize my dining room.(September)

06.  clean out both closets in my bedroom.  (February)

07.  clean out both file cabinets in my bedroom.

08.  somehow get a huge, heavy chair out of my bedroom.. down the steps..and ?  I'm not even sure where I want it to go. (May)

09.  use more coupons!  I need to really get serious with this.. I should be doing all I can to save money.

10. get an oil change! lolol  I am overdue.. very overdue for an oil change.  hopefully this one won't be too hard to achieve. (9.14.12)

maybe.... i'm exaggerating on the whole "being a better blogger" because in all reality after May 1st, i stopped doing a lot of things in life - blogging being one of them.  i surely gained every bit of weight back that i had lost over the past couple years (2).  i didn't think about doing anything with the basement (1).  the file cabinets were never cleaned out... i couldn't bring myself to go through my moms things (7)...  and, unfortunately, i never found the motivation to clip coupons (9).  i'm truly lazy.

one of the best things of the year came out of #3.  i really do think i spent less time on the computer and more time living life outside of the interwebs.

the demon is spending new year's eve with his dad and that means i'll mostly likely be alone.  no biggie, i guess.  i'm sick and i'll probably be sleeping before midnight.  i hope any and everyone that reads this has a wonderful new year's celebration - and above all - be safe.  

i'll see ya in 2013... with a whole new list of goals.  well, mostly new.  i do still have some of this list to complete.  :)
