Obligatory Resolutions Post

// December 29th, 2007 // Real Life //

I was tempted to skip them this year, but what the hell, it’s good to have goals, right?

In 2008, I Will… 

Lose 20lbs. I have to because I am..

Attending BlogHer 2008!!!!!   I am so nervous(everyone will finally see how dorky I really am) but I am excited to go and hope you guys will be there too! I’m kind of afraid no one will know who I am, which will lead me to want to..

Step up my blogging, both in frequency and quality. I had a few really good posts this year, and I’d like to continue that trend.

I will also stop worrying so much about what people think of me. People are too busy worrying about themselves to think of me, and I am way more critical of myself than anyone else is of me.

I plan to take more risks, and experience more of life. Way too often I stop myself from doing something because I’m afraid of doing something stupid. So what? Worst case scenario, I look stupid and then have great blog material, right? It’s a win-win all around.

I want to start doing more volunteer work. The PTA stuff is fine, but more than anything I’d like to start working with the local Animal Rescue Foundation and help out at their monthly adoption fairs.  Both our doggies were rescues, and it would be great to give back in some way.

Lastly, I am going to  brush up on the candidates and go out and vote this year. Why is this important? Because I’ve never actually done it before! (More on this subject later.)

So there ya have it..what’s on your resolution list for 2008???
