Amanda's 2009 To Do's

Not the biggest fan of "making resolutions".  I'm a goal oriented gal.  I like tasks and the sense of accomplishment that comes when I've checked off every item on the "to do" list.  So, here it goes:

Amanda's 2009 To Do's:

• Find a way to make $$ with photography.
• Hand-craft all Christmas 2009 gifts.
• Start/maintain a regular work-out routine, keep a predetermined weight (not to be mentioned here).
• Go on a trip with my siblings, their spouses and our cousins. One trip, many relatives.
• Actively participate in a small group at church.
• Purge my belongings--give to goodwill, recycle (now that I have my handy sewing machine I can refashion the clothes that are too big), and get rid of "stuff" I have no use for.
• Begin to sew and design clothing & household items.
• Commit to a missions trip in 2010.
• Host 5 parties at mi casa.
• Read 2+ books a month.  Maybe even write a few reviews?
• Blog regularly (off to a good start).
• Save a predetermined amount for a house/condo down payment.
• Pursue strategic friendships (no, I'm not talking about romantic relationships or networking)--the ability to grow and nurture friendships is something I need to work on.  
• Pay off ALL debt, except a college loan (maybe the college loan too!).
