        You’ve had a couple days to think about it… Now post those New Years Resolutions here!! Good luck everybody!!

        Maintain my weight and keep running.
        Pay off a bill- for real this time.
        No new credit lines.
        Earn at least 9 more credit hours.
        Put away incoming rent money for drastic rental home improvements.
        Keep in touch with family.

          Hmmm–I don’t make resolutions any more since I break them within the first week! But I do plan to do what I’ve been doing–taking classes, getting my house in order, trying to eat healthy and exercise and try, try, try to keep a positive outlook. We’ll see.

            I was soooo close last year trying to cut my debt in half… but then the fridge and the laptop went out and set me back. I am tentatively only allowing myself 2-3 Windstones this year (tentatively), so I should be able to make some good progress in the debt department this year. πŸ™‚

            1 – reduce big credit card in half
            2 – pay off laptop
            3 – maybe go to Yosemite in late May or so
            4 – get motivated enough to do some traditional artwork
            5 – cook more

            That’s a start. I don’t want to overload myself. πŸ˜†

            I don’t really make resolutions, but if I did it would be to kick this stupid anxiety/anger/depression/dependency problem in the ass ^^;

            edit: oh right, and save for a TV and a new DS. *flail*

              Yeah! I was looking for this thread the other day, I thought it was fun seeing how last years turned out even though I hadn’t posted on it. Let’s see…

              Pass my written and skills exam to become a CNA-Done! (hey, it was just yesterday so it still counts πŸ˜‰ )
              Get a second part time job as a CNA
              End the year with lower credit card balances
              Save for a new computer
              Do at least one piece of art each month
              Lose 50lbs

              Will be interesting to see the update! lol

                Ohh! Can I come? I love that place, especially from the very top of Half Dome. πŸ˜€

                I would like to buy my 1st house this year, I met my savings goal last year but upped it 50% for a down payment.
                That’s the for sure thing I want to do.

                  Is everyone else giving up on resolutions this year? πŸ˜†

                    Thinking about my resolutions for 2012, better see how I did this year!

                    Pass my written and skills exam to become a CNA-Passed my test the first week in January.

                    Get a second part time job as a CNA-Started in March, have been working 50 hours a week since July… :/

                    End the year with lower credit card balances-Success! Will continue to lower debt in 2012

                    Save for a new computer-Typing this from my new comp I got this month (with savings, not credit! lol)

                    Do at least one piece of art each month-Failed miserably…I didn’t do even one thing…been stressed because I hate being a CNA and working so much… πŸ™

                    Lose 50lbs-Semi success, I lost 20 lbs this year.

                    Will have to work on my 2012 list to post!

                      Congrats on the things you did acomplish! Not an easy task to achieve those. I didn’t see this post last year. I don’t really make resolutions as I break them instantly, lol. I’ll have to think on this a bit longer I’m sure I’ll have something I want to do this year that’s attainable. πŸ™‚

                        As far as diets and losing weight is concerned–I don’t bother making resolutions. I did manage to keep the 10 pounds I lost off and will try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Instead of resolutions, these are the things I hope to accomplish:

                        Finish my studies and graduate.
                        Get internships.
                        Be gainfully employed.

                        If I can get these three things accomplished, I’d say it has been a good year!

                          1 – I was close. While I never get it cut in half, I am happy that it came close. Progress is always good. :bigsmile:

                          2- YES! I paid off my laptop! Woot!

                          3 – nope πŸ˜›

                          4 – I did a couple of things, but not as much as I had hoped. Oh well.

                          5 – A little. πŸ™‚

                          The only resolution I’m making for next year is to get moved ASAP. LOL
