One Year Later
A year ago I posted this: http://ms-monkey.livejournal.com/40858.html
Here's how I did on my resolutions in 2006.
Goal 1: read more
Target: 12 books
Achieved: about 19 or 20
Outcome: Success
Prognosis for this year: maintain goal at 12, read more about financial investment.
Gaol 2: travel to europe with husband
Target: do it
Achieved: yes! went to Paris and Aix-en-Provence!!!
Outcome: amazing!
Prognosis for this year: may travel to Canada but won't go abroad. Need to get back to Detroit area to see family and friends alike.
Goal 3: Do more for my career
Target: 6 career development things
Achieved: I think I achieved that...though I may have fallen a bit short. I did take on more responsibility this year.
Outcome: Qualified Success
Prognosis for this year: become the Director of Development at current workplace or move on.
Goal 4: Finances
Target: analyze and consolidate, see an advisor
Achieved: while I thought about money...it doesn't count.
Outcome: Failure
Prognosis for this year: In buying a house we plan to do this as part of managing our overall financial portfolio. Wish us luck.
Goal 5: Re-write my Resume, keep it up to date.
Target: do it and keep doing it.
Outcome: Done, Success.
Prognosis for this year: I still feel it needs punch and polish...but that will come.
Goal 6: Buy or procure stuff!
Target: new digital camera, new surround sound speakers, new computer
Achieved: all three! Camera before France, Speakers with new TV for Christmas and we were surprised with a new-to-us lap top from my in-laws for Christmas as well!
Outcome: a Surprise Success!
Prognisis for this year: may get another computer, probably a laptop, probably used and probably from a friend.
Goal 7: Buy more stuff!
Target: new bed frame.
Achieved: OMG it is so beautiful. I love it!
Outcome: Very, Very Happy!
Prognosis for this year: won't get much more in new furniture till we get a new place...after all...we aren't sure how we'll get the bed out of the bedroom right now!
Goal 8: Visit my family!
Target: see parents
Achieved: yep, in October, in Iron River, MI, but not in Royal Oak where I grew up (500 miles away).
Outcome: Success, lovely Success.
Prognosis for this year: see folks back 'home' where I grew up.
Goal 9: Fix up the house.
Target: mill work and doors, interior paint.
Achieved: not a single one.
Outcome: Failure. Total and Complete.
Prognosis for this year: won't be living there. Of course we do need to fix the chimney....again. *sigh*
Goal 10: Redo hall bathroom.
Target: replace sink and paint
Achieved: not a single thing.
Outcome: Failure. Total and Complete.
Prognosis for this year: see above.
Goal 11: Exercise more.
Target: 3 to 5 times a week
Achieved: not really. Jan and Feb were good, then I got sick and busy and well...
Outcome: Failure. Sad, sad failure.
Prognosis for this year: may join a gym.
Goal 12: Eat my vitamins.
Target: daily
Achieved: not really. I take them like once a month...so....
Outcome: Failure. Sad, sad failure.
Prognosis for this year: I may get gummy vitamins...you know...for kids. I need lots of calcium and some folic acid and joint stuff and such.
So there you have it. Not a total success...but not a shameful display by far!
Stay tooned for this year's resolutions they will be largely built off of the Prognoses for this year sections....but I'll make it all pretty and official.
