1 - read the magazines I get in the mail in the month they are for :)
2 - remove clutter from my house that really is just clutter!

    "DO NOT take my ex husband back again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

    Love that! I did that once! My first husband and I were married twice! I'm told I was a slow learner. On the plus side my current husband and I have been married almost 32 years and have a wonderful relationship...so at least I did finally learn:smile:

    1. Teach my oldest to read before Kindergarden in the fall
    2. Reading adult books would be nice too :)

  • As a six month cancer survivor whose last tests came back clean...here are my ten goals.

    1. Take every day as a gift and enjoy it fully. Even a day of drudgery is still a day of my life. I will find the best in it.

    2. Sort all of my pictures into photo albums. Give pictures to those I know will enjoy them.

    3. Make mermories for my grandchildren even if it means slaving over an Easy Bake Oven all day.

    4. Finish an abreviated version of our family history to pass along to my children and grandchildren.

    5. Spend lots of time with the sweet old guy I'm married (50 years) to. His job involves a lot of driving, and he likes to
    have me along for company. I can do that!

    6. Pursue peace in my life. There's nothing like a good peaceful day at home.

    7. Get that stupid acquarium water balanced and filled with fish. Three neons are all the "fish guy" will let me have until
    I get it right. LOL

    8. Make changes in my house that will make things easier and faster so I can get on to other things.

    9. Read ...read...read.. I love books.

    10. HAVE FUN!!!!!!
