My Plans

psst!! Enter my giveaway!



I saw this on a couple of different blogs and thought I'd join on this bandwagon. I don't make resolutions for the new year because I know they aren't going to pan out.

But I DO make plans... I LOVE to plan (hence this whole "neurotic" wedding planning of mine... which my dad called it this morning... while e-mailing me information on the Mayan calendar and where the sun will be on my wedding day in August. Now... who's neurotic? lol)

So, here are my plans for 2010!

One thing I will learn: My new city! I am slowly starting to get accustomed to my new home, but I still have sooo much to explore! It's really important for me to continue to learn about different social service community resources for my clients as well.

One place I will go: New Zealand!!!! GOOOO HONEYMOON! =)

One physical habit I will break: I want to say that I'll quit biting my nails... but I know that won't happen, so I'm going to change it to, 'I'll quit biting my nails for the month or two leading up to the wedding". This I know I can do.

One physical habit I will cultivate: Taking the stairs at work instead of the elevator! Are we really so lazy that we can't walk up one flight of stairs? However, if I need to go up to the third floor, I'll probably still take the elevator =)

One mental habit I will break: In the spirit of plans over resolutions, I'm not going to answer this question, because I have no PLAN to do so.

One relationship I’ll repair: I don't think there are any. The important people in my life are still important and will always be that way.

One work habit I will change: I've been at my job for less than a month... I don't have any bad habits yet! lol I'm too scared of messing up!

One thing I’ll throw out: Stuff in the boxes marked "misc" that haven't been unpacked yet in the 4 months that we've lived here.

A second thing I’ll throw out: Clothing tags. When I buy a new shirt and ripped off the tag the morning I'm going to wear it I tend to just set it on my bathroom counter or my dresser... maybe I should put a trash can there! lol

One thing I’ll eat more often: Fruits and veggies

One thing I’ll eat less: Fast food and BIG portion sizes!

One thing I’ll drink more: I already drink a lot of water and I don't really think I want to increase my consumption of anything else since I rarely drink anything else anyhow.

One thing I’ll drink less: See above. I rarely drink anything beside water.

One resentment I’ll get over: I won't get over it. lol

One person I’ll treat more respectfully: Probably the fiance... I've been a bit stressed over the past few months.

One thing I’ll spend less money on: I'm a poor college student (or, at least I was until the new job!) so I'm forced to budget tightly... I don't know what I'll spend less on... I actually hope to be able to spend MORE on stuff and actually get some quality. OH! I know! After August I'll spend less money on things wedding related. ;)

One other change I’ll make in my finances: Wow! JUST TODAY I set up an automatic transfer twice a month to my retirement account.... I felt like a grown up =)

One thing I’ll spend less time doing: I'll spend less time NOT doing the things around the house that need to be done (I am NOT the housekeeping type).

And a thing I’ll spend more time doing: Enjoying life! I LOVE taking in new experiences and I hope to be able to do that EVERY DAY!
