Here are the 2011 Goals.
1. Resurrect our backyard deck that has been mutilated since the Daytona 500 in February 2010. Note-do not remedy a boring race with alcohol and home improvement projects.
• This definitely did not get done. We did manage to get nice grass growing in both the front and back yard though.
• Done & Done!! We went to NY in May and Alabama for the 4th of July.
3. Start referring to Hank as "Big Sexy". He is striking enough to call for such labeling.
• Unfortunately, this never really caught on fire like I thought it would.
• I did a lot of reading this year! I read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, Water For Elephants and You Had Me at Woof, just to name a few.
• I would say I accomplished this for the most part, but I’d like to take it a step further in 2012 and take a couple of writing classes.
• I did two of these! The Waxhaw Town and Country Run in the spring and The GingerSnap 5k in December.
7. Plant a garden. I’m thinking small at first. Tomatoes, cukes, onions, lettuce, green beans, etc. Luckily Doreen is a Master Gardener (for real, she’s certified) and will be able to help me manage growing in red clay.
• I didn’t even come close to doing this. We had so many other needs in our yard, that it seemed a little crazy to spend the time and money on a veggie garden. I probably won’t even attempt it in 2012 because we have some landscaping issues to address that will take priority over the garden.
• Done! I did this a little backwards though. I’ll explain when reviewing the next goal.
• I did this, but I bought the new camera (totally going against what I said) and then learned the ins and outs of it, instead of learning on my existing camera before buying a new one. Classic Liz move, but I got the job done.
I hope to post my 2012 goals sometime in the first week of January!
