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 want to continue with my weight loss and begin exercising.
I want to find me a new church home.
I want to set myself a savings plan and begin following it faithfully.
I want to begin getting a social life.

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!

Thanks prodigal, for a great thread!
I want to:
continue with my fitness/exercise program
take a course to become a Master Gardener
continue to sort out and get rid of stuff I no longer need, want or use
get reacquainted with my artistic side, by painting, writing and sewing
read more books
continue to make my home a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place to be

I will graduate
I will pass my state board
I will yell less
I will understand better

It's foreign to me at the moment.
It's been so long since I wanted anything aside from
just being able to sleep, rest , have peace in my life or think half straight.lol

To actaully really want something...Holly schmollyy..what is that ?
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.

Great thread Prodigal!

I want to continue my weight loss as well
I want to save money faithfully monthly
I want a solid week to go by with no drama (friends/family)
I want to smile more and cry less
I want to pay off my jeep :)
Oh, and my most important....i want to FIND me again!!

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.

I want to be a better listener
I want to communicate better
I want to get fit, play more tennis, eat well
I want to remodel my house even if it means I have to move out for a few months.
I want to be open to the possibility....

I want to take an Art clas at a local CC.
I want to get my shoulder fixed and play softball again!
I want to plan a summer vacation rather than take a few days off and stay home.
I want to make a few new friends.

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!!!):Dance7:

Great thread!

I want to survive and thrive after I move across the country...I move this weekend!

I want a new al-anon and acoa family group in new locale and a new sponsor!

I want to play softball again.

I want to hike again.

I want to "waste time" lounging/camping at parks of my choice.

I want to further enjoy the peace, joy and serenity I found in 2007.

I want new healthy friends and family of choice..I cleared out the "bad guys". I deserve it!

Good Luck to All meeting your goals!!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm gonna win that one! :)

I want to make better choices in people.

Maybe a pony, yeah,, I think a pony would be nice.
Can I have a pony??

Sure Mr. C. You can have a pony. Just like that one on the Verizon commercial. The one eating the dog house. :)

Now that's a funny commercial Barb!

Ok, first I'd like my serenity to continue.

Then I'd like someone to fund my next project.
