I've noticed a lot of you aren't making goals, but alas, I must, how else would I be able to exercise my rebellious nature? If I didn't have my own goals to ignore and rules to break, I might go out there and start breaking other people's rules and who knows where that would lead me (maybe over barbed wire fences or teenager stalking again). So these are my goals that have absolutely nothing to do with writing because that is one area where I don't need to make goals (I'm already a completely obsessive freak in that area).
1. Clean my house once a day...no I mean week, once a week.
2. Make dinner at least four or three, well probably two times a week.
3. Exercise sometime in the coming year.
4. Venture out into the "real world" (church, Candi's house, or the grocery store do not count) more often than now (which is never).
Phew! Those are some lofty goals. I'm already thinking of ways to break them, thus accomplishing my overall agenda. Good luck to you with your goals as well. Happy New Year!
Those are some of the most realistic goals I have ever seen. Sending wishes for a happy New Year your way!
ReplyDeleteheh, heh. That's all. I'm just laughing.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with failing at those goals! I'm sure I'll fail at pretty much all of those things as well.
ReplyDeleteLofty, lofty goals, my dear. Are you sure you want to say you'll make dinner that often? Doesn't you family read this sometimes?
ReplyDeleteJoanne, you think they are realistic? I was thinking they were a little far fetched. :) lol
ReplyDeleteCandi, are you laughing because you know I will break all of them? By the way, come over. :)
Kiersten, thanks. I will have fun rebelling (against myself).
Natalie, crap, you're right, my husband does read this. He knows I like to exaggerate. :)
Go get them goals, girl! And don't let your writing lag. :) (I added ya to my Rockin' Blog Roll.) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm with you on #'s 1,3, and 4. No, wait, I take it back on #4. And 3. Gee, clean once a week? Really? ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteAngie, I never let my writing lag, which is the problem and reason I needed to make these other goals. :) lol BTW, I really like your new year's resolution bit on your blog.
ReplyDeleteLinda, you're taking back as many of my goals as I am. :) I like the goals on your blog too. I might trade mine for yours. :)
HAHAHHAHAHA! You crack me up! Those were awesome! hehehehe! really! I'm so jealous I didn't think of them first! hahah!
ReplyDeleteJenni, you are welcome to any of my goals. They are free for the taking. In fact, if you take them from me then maybe I won't have to do them. :) lol BTW, isn't it close to midnight in your part of the world? What's the time difference anyway?
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to keep at least one of those goals. I never do goals, or five year plans, or lists, what's the point when I have my mind unendingly coming up with new stuff to interfere in goal reaching?
ReplyDeleteAwesome goals, Kasie. Seriously. :)
ReplyDeleteI have similar goals like that, but it's for six months from now, when I am not living in someone else's house.
Have a rockin' New Year's Eve!
Laura, thanks for dropping by. Everything is interfering with my goals as well (everything, meaning me). But maybe one will stick this year. I vote for the exercise. :)
ReplyDeleteRenee, thanks. I'm sure you can't wait to have your own place so that you can't clean it either. It's hard not having your own space, been there, done that. Good luck with your goals. My unstated writing goals are similar to yours, namely, query until I find an agent. And find titles to my unnamed children.
I've learned from my past mistakes that if I make a list/set a goal, I'll do just the opposite. So here's mine: do nothing, get fat, don't leave the house, suck at everything.
ReplyDeleteKasie,
ReplyDeleteI wrote up my goals today in my new journal! Love to look back each year and see how I did!!
I'm sooo glad you are you!... and that you happen to be so hilarious! Good luck on reaching your goals!
ReplyDeleteTricia, great goals. I know you'll do the exact opposite of all of them. LOL
ReplyDeleteTerri, I've missed you! I hope you had a great blogging vacation. I will go check those out now. :)
Nicki!! You know what your one and only goal for 2009 should be? To come and see me as much as possible (I guess you can see your sister while you're here too). :)
Terri, by "journal" you really meant "journal." LOL I'm a dip. Here I was thinking you meant your blog journal. So I guess I can't read your goals then. :) I went to your site and was like, huh?? LOL
ReplyDeletehahahaha. I need more Kasie West in my life! So glad I found your blog. I completely enjoy you!
