Unreasonable Goals for 2011!
Happy New Year! Here is my list of unreasonable goals for 2011. Why 33? Because that’s how old I am. Some of you will undoubtedly look at this list and say, “You’re insane. WTF is wrong with you? Why on Earth would you set yourself up to fail in such an epic way?” And, you’re kind of right. I’m totally nuts. But here’s the thing, I’m not stupid. I know there is very little chance I will complete 100% of everything on this list. If I make it to 50% I’m going to be very, very happy. Also, there are some ringers on the list, so I can enjoy seeing the progress bars tick up.
Why do I do it? Because I enjoy making lists, quantifying my progress throughout the year, and graphs are fun. Also, I want some practice writing non-sucky blog posts about things like food, music, and movies. I believe some people call that “reviewing”. Anyhow. Here it is:
- Read 12 Books
- Listen to 12 Books
- Try 30 New Recipes
- Knit 12 Items
- Write 365 Pages
- Complete Children’s Lit. Class
- Do 1 Stint of Open Mic Comedy
- Get Passports
- Go XC Skiing 12 times
- Take Maggie Tubing
- Take Maggie to Storyland
- Do 24 New Crafts With Maggie
- Create 12 Pieces of Art
- Attend 144 Zumba Classes
- 12 Dates With Mike
- 30 Visits with HB
- Walk 360 Miles
- Lose 30lbs
- Watch 24 Movies
- Try 12 New Eateries
- 12 Bags of Donations to Hospital Thrift Store
- Complete Fly Lady 30 Day
- Complete Happiness Project
- 52 Blog Posts
- Plant 12 Things
- Post 30 Photos
- 12 “albums”
- Train the damn dog.
- 12 Submissions for publication

I’ll elaborate a bit more in the future. I’m taking suggestions for books, movies, recipes, and knitting patterns.
So, Happy New Year. I’ll leave you with this….(Because you’re supposed to have photos with all your blog posts or people will be sad or something.)

| WTF? This is a metal pomegranate. My mom gave it to me because “She saw it and knew I had to have it.” I’m not really sure what this says about me as a person. Also, doesn’t it seem kind of va-jay jay like or am I just a perv? |
I like it – the pomegranate is awesome!
Think I may have to pinch your idea…
28 resolutions. Hmmmm….
Pinch my ideas anytime! It's really fun to keep track of your goals. I can even email you my spreadsheet 😉
Enormous cyborg vagina bursting w/ over a dozen clitori … now that's all i can think about. Awful!
"Metal Pomegranate" the newest track by Amanda F. Palmer. In stores…soon?
