The list for 2014!

With D at work today, thank you winter weather, I have finished my list of things I would like to get to or do for 2014! While it is in pink, I haven't put sparkly stuff on it just yet. Waiting til naptime for that! Since it was getting kinda long, I decided just to go on and round it to 14 for 2014. Seems like a lot, but looking at it it's really not. Here it is in all it's fabulous glory!!!
The New Year List!

1. Save enough for an Adult Only Trip to Disney for my birthday!!

2. Pay at least half of the credit card off! I would say all, but see number 1.

3. Bake/Cook more! Cookies, cupcakes, doggie treats, dinner (getting away from hamburger helper), bread, homemade meatballs, and number one thing to bake/cook- Alton Brown’s mac and cheese!

4. Fix broken little things in the house, or replace them. Like those silly light covers that are broken in the kitchen. Not really something you think about everyday.

5. Mop more than once every two weeks (if that happens that much now *head hung in shame*).

6. Sell everything we don’t use, and doesn’t piss Dennis off!

7. Give in to my new glitter/shiny obsession. Ten years ago I would have never even though of sparkly. I’m going with it!

8. Walk the dogs more. Between the pool and fenced off kid area…they don’t have a ton of room to run and play in.

9. Re-teach the big kids how to clean stuff and do laundry. Not half ass it, really stay with them when cleaning and make them redo it til it’s right.

10. Dress up more…even if for no reason at all.

11. Hide more vegetables in the food. ;) Yes kiddos, butternut squash and other stuff will be going in your mac and cheese!

12. Play more cards with my mom, as well as teach the big kids Canasta. I don’t think I got to play any at all with her last year.

13. More yoga. I have severely fallen off with this, and it does wonders for me.

14. Last but not least, (since it is 2014 I should have 14 right?!) have everyone UNPLUG more.

I'm thinking this list is very doable, something that will be not too much to handle. Except number one. That one is the one that might have to get pushed back to 2015. I am determined though, and stubborn. Once my mind is set..it's hard to change!
There is a pic going around fb now, saying if you save the amount of the number week it is in the year, you'll have a certain amount by the end of the year. I'm going to try that too. Only for so long. I will be stopping Thanksgiving weekend. I am going to use this as Christmas shopping money. I think this is a brilliant idea. I am going to try my hardest, and hope D doesn't get upset since we are trying to pay off the credit card (see number 2) but it would help if I didn't have so much to try to come up with at Christmas. We'll see how it goes!
I wish everyone Good Luck in their new year goals/lists/words/resolutions!
