This is on my bucket list

I can't break 'em if I don't make 'em. Not into self flagellation with stress.

My 2012 resolution:

To marry a woman with a great personality, who is warm and compassionate and has lots of money. If I've no luck finding her, I'll settle for a woman with just lots of money.

[Passionaria]

Sending all of you positive energy, and lot's of support with your goals! Get it, get it. I have several but two I will share publicly:

1. To move from Spanglish to bilingual by the end of the year. I have a trade set up with a place here in Austin called Esquina Tango here in Austin. I will work the door for their Tango Milongas and take free Spanish classes. Big plus the teacher is a woman I work with and adore! I'm excited!

2. I used to be a professional dancer. Sadly I lost my way, and a part of my soul with it. This year I will make dance a part of my life again. Social dancing is good enough.

[Gemme]

There are hundreds of thousands of ways I would love to improve my life, my self and my world.

Here are a few, in no particular order:

1. This time last year, I was around 135 lbs and working out regularly. I would like to get back down to 145 lbs, at least. In order to do this, I shall eat more colorful foods....less fried, beige food....and drink more water. I shall endeavor to spend at least 3 hours a week in the gym and/or doing commited movement (aka NOT window shopping or dilly dallying around the house).

2. I shall rid myself of the bulk of the clutter that I have close to me now. I made a trip to Goodwill today, but that was a very small load. I would like to pare my clothing down to about half of what I have now. I know that I am a piler and a paper/receipt/thing collector and so, I shall develop a new, faster process of taking in/processing/using/recycling/ridding myself of those things.

3. My artistic side has been sorely neglected this year. I will commit more time to writing, scrapping, penpalling, and general crafting.

4. I will find creative ways to trim the budget. The purse strings will be drawn tighter this year and I need to modify my existing budget.

5. I will do my best to embrace the inevitable changes that will occur and find ways to adapt more easily to them without becoming upset so quickly. Basically, give in to the 'don't sweat the little stuff' movement and learn better coping skills for unforseen issues/problems/challenges that crop up. And breathing. Just breathe.

6. Sweet talk my car more and take better care of her so she won't have many expensive repairs.

7. Dance. I've always wanted to take classes but it just never worked out. It's not going to be in the budget to take classes, but maybe I can check videos out at the library or watch instructional youtube videos to improve that aspect of myself. If I can find a Y or a larger gym that has some dance classes that might be an option too.

I'm impressed.

Oh i have huge huge plans for 2012. Maybe i'll look at them as resolutions, why not???

I resolve to so the following in 2012:

Make the biggest, baddest garden I have ever grown and produce at least 75% of my own food.

Begin a organic commercial produce company & donate food to poor people.

Learn how to bake like a pastry chef!

become even stronger, more healthier then I have ever been.

learn how to properly ride a horse.

Get married to someone who shares my vision.

Perhaps these aren't resolutions, more likely a "to do" list!

I tend to make lists, and have some lingering things that keep getting carried over to the next list.

Some things are just common sense, and some are life changing.

Putting them here so I can refer back to them if I must!

In no particular order of priority:

1. Finish crocheting the 2 baby blankets I have started.

2. Stop using plastic bags to carry things bought! I have a ton of reusable bags, BUT forget to take them with me when I shop. So, if I forget my reusable bags, then I either take my purchases without plastic bags, or buy MORE reusable bags to use, because the bags are usually located at the till.
I have got to STOP with the throw away stuff!

3. Make recycling more organized. Tin cans with labels peeled off and rinsed. Larger size bin for paper and plastic.

4. Pare down crafting hobbies. Paper, tu tu's, jewlery, bra art, wire wrapping.

5. Get back into swimming. I used to be a very successful speed swimmer on a very successful team, and holy cow, was I in good shape. I was energetic, physically stong, and mentally disciplined. I was a very focussed.
I have a brand new bathing suit, have my swim pass in my wallet, have the pool schedule on my fridge, need to purchase a swim cap and goggles.

I definitely hoping you are joking . It must be painful to wake up next to a person and instead say good morning my love , but good morning show me your checkbook.

Vlasta .... yes, it was a (cleary unsuccessful) attempt at sarcasm

I don't make resolutions - not really my sort of thing and, even if I did, getting married to someone,whether they were wealthy or not, wouldn't be on that list ***






*** although if Joan Collins divorces Percy Gibson and asks me nicely, I may give it some consideration.
