Digressive Ramblings

I'm always setting goals (not always reaching them) here are a few I'm currently working on: read more- all types of books, i just bought like 6 CS/Management books size 8. I'm secure enough with myself to tell you all I'm mostly a size 10 sometimes a 12 and I want to get down to a always an 8 size. I'll never been super skinny and honestly I'll look like a freak if I do because of my GIANT HIPS AND BUTT, but I think 8 would be a good size for me :) in conjunction with the losing weight one I'm running and I want to do a 5k without stopping (hehe) then a 10k without stopping then a half marathon... without stopping That's it for now :)

So I'm not very good at New Years Resolutions, but I seem to be good at Birthday (or after my birthday) resolutions so I thought I'd do that again this year... and now I'm posting it for the world to see to hold me accountable. Finish paying off all my debt (minus student loans- that's still like 5 yrs out) Size 8... it's only one size down I know I can do it! Use my passport for somewhere other than Canada (it's embarrassing that it's the only country on that) Run a 5k Run a 10k Be ready for the Disneyland Marathon (half?) Take at least a semester of Spanish... by my birthday I could be almost done with a 2nd semester. Love more. This may expand but it's pretty lofty right now!

So I've never been a big fan of New Years Resolutions because 1. it only gives me a year to complete it 2. everyone expects you to fail and 3. well I can never think of what I want to resolve. I would like to think I'm constantly growing and improving myself and that I don't need a new year to make a change in my life. So here's my list of things I hope to accomplish in the next 5 years, and because I have OCD I've breaking it into sections. Financial- No more loans :) Own property... or at least start owning property... which might negate #1 but that is more in reference to student loans and my car payment. Contribute more that what I currently to my 401k... it's a pretty pathetic amount, but to contribute more I need to earn more! Educational- I would like to take the following classes: Spanish or become conversational in French since I've wasted so much time on that language already.
