What do YOU want for 2008???
Please let me know what you want to see happen for you in 2008. Not the addict in your life. Not your parents. Not your siblings. Not your in-laws. Y-O-U.
Me? Finishing my bachelor's in Legal Studies - entirely online with the exception of the math!! - courtesy of the University of Maryland.
Hitting the pavement even harder to get a job; not just any job, but one in the court system. Nah, no private practice attorneys for me, unless they're really active litigators.
Keeping my weight at 135 and no more than 140!
Moving back to my hometown by the Chesapeake Bay - Bawlmer, Murland, HON! ("Hon" is a term used by just about all of us Bal-ti-morons! :rof)

I will stick to my budget
I will keep my house (somewhat) clean
I will follow FlyLady
I will pass all my classes
I will learn enough Italian that I don't look like an idiot in Italy
I will drive the boat by myself and better than any MALE in my family!

I feel like I still have to hang on to my ass half of the time.
I dun no...I had plans once but my life turned upside down.
Get well....honestly that's what i want.

I want to win the HGTV dream house in the beautiful Florida Keys. It was previewed tonight and it's a beaut. It's decorated in just my style--colorful tropical style. It has my name written all over it.
Anything is possible once you begin to believe it's so.

Everyone of you are giving me a gift with your responses. For all the challenges - and heartaches - we endure dealing with the A's in our lives, we still have our own dreams and aspirations.
My initial list was abbreviated, but for the sake of all here, I will remain brief (now there's a switch! :-)).
I want to be able to do bicep and tricep curls using 15-pound free weights and get up to 75 reps. Right now I'm stuck at the 12-pound weights. (Hmmm ... that sounds kinda narcissistic and superficial - awww what the hey!).
I want to apply to grad school and pursue my master's in legal studies/criminal justice when I move back to Maryland.
I want to work on more of my anger issues ... they still rear their ugly heads from time to time. Okay, I'm a work in progress, I'll admit it!
Thanks to every one of you for letting me know what you want and Jill - if you win that dream house in the Keys can I be your chief cook and bottle washer in exchange for room and board???? (Now we have to figure out how to keep your dogs from fighting with my three cats!!!)
