2008 Goals

So in keeping with Amber's blog.... I'll do the reverse goals!
THE THINGS I ACCOMPLISHED IN 2008 (and would be crossed off if I knew how to do it!)
(Not in any particular order)
- Look at myself in the mirror straight on and have that honest assessment.
- Close my eyes and plug my nose and JUMP! - despite all the fears and what others might think of me
- Discover being laid off from your career can be the best thing that ever happened
- Remember that I LOVE being on stage: Be in the Operetta I've always loved & Be a LEADING role (and remember ALL of my lines!) (should've added remember all my entrances too!!!)
- Start singing again
- Start working on accomplishing my dream goals
- Make new friends in ways I could never expect - and learn I'm an example in ways I never would have dreamed for myself
- On track for learning to Re-Freakin-LAX when it comes to temperamental teenagers
- Love myself for being exactly ME


And it's crazy, but for the first time in my life I am EXCITED to set goals for the New Year! I had lots of them listed by Dec 30th! I never do stuff like that early!!
Some of those goals include:
2009
- Organize and perform in a 3 DIVAS program with two other girls whom I love and want to blend talents with!
- Memorize lots of music stuff; increase my repertoire
- Finally get my Associates Degree this Spring!!!!!!!! YES YES YES!!!!!!!!
- Get A's in all of my classes despite having 18 credits worth this Spring!
- Get my Education classes completed this year
- Pass the Praxis Exam (so I can be ready to student teach)
- Have 6 numbers completely and totally memorized and comfortable so I can slam it out for the NATs competition in the Spring!
- Have my Senior Recital mapped out and ready to go
- to go the gym regularly (my brain needs every ounce of strength I can add to it!)
- Eat more healthily
- Start cooking again - meals would be nice to have
- Keep my house cleaned
- Help kids with homework
- Be organized

And there's more... but that's enough for now.
As always - to those that read this, know that I love you! And maybe one of these years I'll start sending Birthday and Christmas cards!!! I always do think of you and your families..... I am just a complete slacker in letting you know it!

So I toast my Sparling Water to you all and wish for you a most wonderful and stimulating 2009!!

I blow kisses to you and throw my arms wide to give you BIG HUGE bear hugs!!!
