I will.........in 2008
Continue to lose weight
I'm about 18 pounds lighter, not bad
Get my jewelry in more stores and across the US.
I did get my jewelry in more stores but not across the states, I didn't get to take it that far.
Start and use my face book
I didn't do any styling this year (on a professional basis) by choice so the face book didn't happen
Live in the moment
Always a work in progress. Its such a challenge for me
Be a better patient loving mommy and wife
Eh, I always think I can be better at that. I always check myself.
Read more books that are not only about parenting
I enjoyed reading this year. I still want to read more but I did read a lot more than just parenting books.
Give myself the time I need to do these things
I did give myself time.
Better my soldering skills
Did that!
Love myself more
Doing better at this!
Spend more time with family and friends
Did that!
Let more of the fluff of life go
I think I did this.
Travel a place or two
We didn't travel much. We went to Vegas and on a few road trips but sadly not far traveling.
Save more money
Um we tried but it was a hard year.
Pay off some bills
I don't think we paid anything off but we did lower some cards
Invest some money
I invested $100. in January and that was it. I think that was a blessing with all the market crashes tho.
Be hard on myself in the places where I am weak
And be easier on myself in the places I push to hard
Im always good at being hard on myself and I did work on myself a lot this year.
learn more and grow from it - check!
embrace my happiness - working on it and check!
get on the floor and play with my kids more and remember to do this while wearing lipstick - check!

I will be a fashionably happy mommy in 2008. I think I did a good job at this.

It was a hard stressful year but still I managed to use discipline to get me thru what I needed to get thru and I continue to work hard on my areas that need work. I think this is the first year where I set up some goals for myself, plastered them on the internet and actually stuck to most of them!!
I am proud.
