2016

January 4, 2016

So it’s 2016 now and I’m stoked. I work several months ahead at my day job so I’ve been working in 2016 since October; glad the rest of you have finally caught up. Anyway, I’m not usually one for New Year’s resolutions but I do like to make lists so this is what I’m hoping to accomplish this year. A lot of these are big maybes since the deck is our top priority and will taking most of our money/time/patience.

House:

-Demo current deck
-Clean garage…again
-Build new, bigger deck
-Refinish very old but new to us front door
-Install front door
-Repaint the study
-Add built ins in the study?
-Add crown moulding in the study?
-Create new area for dogs
-Remove dog crates from master bedroom
-Caulk windows
-Paint master bedroom?
-Clean up side/back/front yards
-Price out all aspects of kitchen remodel
-Stain fence
-Extend fence?
-Remove trees?
-Remove shed?

Personal:

-Read 26 books – can be re-reads or never before reads, but must come from books we already own
-Go on an awesome vacation
-Lose 20lbs – I know weight loss goals always get tossed around after the calendar rolls over but this has actually been a goal for a while. Last year the goal was 40lbs but I only got half way there before falling off the wagon and landing in a big pile of soda, doritos, and candy bars. I’m giving myself until my 28th birthday (end of June) which is way more than enough time. I need to figure out smaller goals to get me to the 20.
-Tone and tighten once I finish losing these last 20lbs.
-Walk the dogs more
-Use my craft room – I rarely use this room and that’s pretty lame
-Get a new look for the blog
