I am procrastinating writing my personal goals for 2006. All day I had that in mind. It is now after midnight and I am getting closer to writing it down. So close that I realized I haven’t written in my blog for awhile. So here I am. As soon as I finish this I will write my goals.
I guess I can outline what I will write out here. First and foremost is to cut my nails! It sure is a bitch trying to type this entry out right now.
I bought a three subject notebook so I will section out my goals as this
Creative/Artistic
Personal/Health
Family/Misc
For the creative/artistic one I really need to think about what I am doing with my photography and why. I am still addicted to Flickr but something is changing for me there. I signed up with nearly 200 groups there and just went through culling it down to about 20 groups. The Utata group is really the only group that fits me nice. They are the cool artsy crowd and I want to be associated with them. I really got to get with the quality over the quantity.
This year I really like to, need to, redesign Swardraws.com. I never update the site with anything except my Christmas cards once a year and my daily photoblog. For Hollace’s page I need just link it to a Flickr set since that is the only place I update photos of her. For gossip page, I need to set up a blog that my family can log onto to post family news. My photoblog needs work. I still haven’t dealt with the archive pages and I really need to. I am just not sure how much time I want to invest in it. I don’t think anyone would notice.
With some Christmas money RAW’s mom gave me, I found a nice kaleidoscope kit which as awaken the kaleidoscope bug in me. Could this be the year I get into it? At the very least I should do at least one more digital scope so I can have six in the series. With the rest of the money Dorothy gave me, I got a 7″ DVD player. I will keep a copy of my kaleidoscope DVD in the bag to show. Speaking of which, I should check it out there to see how well you can see it. (second thing on the list after cutting the nails to procrastinate my list after this entry)
The biggest, most important category is personal/health. I am {} this close to regaining all the weight I lost a few years back. It makes me sick. I got a nice new treadmill a couple weeks ago that I still haven’t touched. Now the holidays are over I will get on the thing and sweat, starting tomorrow, I promise. Also an eating plan is necessary.
For the first time ever, I am worried about my health and this extra weight. I have a bit of heart burn, not much or often but I suspect I have already caused esophogus (never tried to spell that word before) damage. I was kind of freaking out a couple weeks ago cause this was the downfall of my uncle Dale. He got cancer of the esophogus that spread to his liver before he knew anything was wrong. Acid reflux damage can cause cancer of the esophogus. RAW gets an upper GI every other year himself to keep an eye on his esophogus damage.
The other big part of the personal/health category is state of mind. I need to start meditating or something to help focus (I am hoping the treadmill will help here too). Work has been torture lately trying to focus and keep on task. Also I really need to crack down on the social anxiety thing. This year I hope to find a therapist to start seeing.
As for family/misc, there are a few resolution/goals for Hollace I need to help her work on. Eating is the biggest thing. We let her get away with poor eating habits and that is being irresponsible parents. I got to figure out how to make this as painless as possible. Another Hollace thing is a result of being an only. Socialization. That compounded with my social anxiety isn’t a good combination. I need to get her out and experiencing new things and in playgroups or something. She is a chip off the old block, she is a clone and that scares me.
On Friday’s, it will be family game night. I hate games and so does Hollace which makes us party poopers at parties. We will get over it.
The house. Are we going to sell this shack and move into something bigger. The thought of process to do that scares the hell out of me. Something else to get over in 2006
This the main jist of my list. There are lot of little things I need to get down. As soon as I quit this entry, trim my nails and check on that DVD, I willl work it all out on paper, I promise!
