--Be better at grocery shopping. I don't need to save 70% on my groceries, but I'd like to spend about 10% less. I don't want shopping for food to be my life, but I'd like to spend less on it at the same time.
--Communicate better. I feel like either I get my way and offend a lot of people, or I don't get my way and don't offend people. I would like for everyone to be happy and unoffended.
--Save a bit from every pay check. This is a goal every year and for a while Greg and I were really good at it, but lately we've sucked. Saving is like tithing, do it first so it hurts less.
--Paint the kitchen and my bedroom. Greg and I painted our kitchen last year but just last week admitted to each other that neither one of us like the color but were too afraid of offended the other so we left it (see what I mean from #2 above).
--Make curtains for the living room and kitchen.
--Learn the stories of Jesus and tell them to Rex frequently.
Anything on there look familiar? How about the whole actually save money and do better at grocery shopping? Well, like I said, a new year right? I'd actually forgotten that I'd made this post until a few days ago when Rex and I were looking through my blog for pictures of him and I stumbled upon it. So much for the whole "write it down so you'll remember it thing." Guess that didn't work. Maybe it will this year though--look I'm already working towards one of my goals--update blog more frequently. Half way there.
And, for the record, I didn't reach any of my goals last year except paint my bedroom.
Hey, at least you got one. A for effort ... I actually hate that saying, but still.
