2008 in Review

Dec 31, 2008  |  Posted by: Megan Stay

I don’t even know where to begin on all that has gone on in the last year.

My progress on goals made for the Great 2008

Steady the scripture study – Didn’t really get this one down, but it’s a continual process eh?
Be less negative (which I guess is already pessimistic) – I’m a realist is that negative?
Start my Etsy shop and sell some of my new creations – Started it and sold nothing, I’ll be revisiting this in 2009
Produce one photograph a week – I’m pretty sure I came close to this and will continue
Decorate at least three rooms in my new house – I’m almost done with the living room and bedroom but the office is only half done and the guest room is, well, a mess
Make a delicious meal 3 times a week or more – I was doing great for a while and then I started hating life and cooking was the first thing to go. I’ll be pushing this one in 2009
Buy a Wii and beat Luke at tennis and/or boxing – Done and done
Join a gym in Las Vegas and go 4 times a week – Didn’t join a gym but I did get really good at exercising consistently, and then I lapsed. It’s a goal again
Type emails and chats with correct capitalization and punctuation – I have to say that I worked hard on this and still have to make a conscious effort. Now capitalization and punctuation stick out to me more with other people.
Finish statistics (I don’t want to hear about this from anyone) – yeah…
Travel outside the country – Didn’t make the necessity list this year. But we did travel a lot and I feel blesed.
Spend more time with my family Most definitely did this! I liked this goal

So what have I in store for the Fiiiiiiine 2009? Let’s see

Re-brand my business, market, network, and promote my photography all the live long day
Shoot at least 5 weddings
Touch up all the paint I never touched up around the house and finish painting the kitchen and bathrooms
Decorate the guest room on a shoe string budget
Don’t be such a consumerist, AKA be more DIY and re-usable
Get myself into a work at home routine to include exercise, reading scriptures and making dinner.
Have more faith in people and judge less
Volunteer more (I think I want to work at an animal shelter once a week)
Donate blood every 8 weeks
Help Sir Luke fix up my bike so I can ride it
Take more walks and be outside more
READ BOOKS!
Landscape our front and back yard before it gets wicked hot
And finish freaking STATS!!!!!!!!

What goals do you have for the FIIIIIIIIIIIINE 2009?

    Good goals, Megs!! Mine are as follows:
    1. Learn HTML and CSS (or a web design program) and publish my portfolio site before years end

    2. Study Preach my gospel at least 15 minutes day, three days a week.

    3. Do a triathlon

    4. Learn to make at least one new yummy meal a month

    5. Have produce consist of at least 30% of my diet.

    guess we’ll see how that goes…
