Okay so it is the first month of the year. I have been wondering what goal I will accomplish this year. Will it be travel, a promotion, a new relationship or family matters?
I really would like to travel more this year. When I say travel I mean take mini vacations or weekend getaways during April and October. Where would I go? I was thinking about going to Las Vegas and having a spa weekend during April but I am so cheap I just can't bring myself to spend the money. I also have some whale watching tickets so I could make a trip to Dana Point and stay the weekend there. I would rather go to Las Vegas than Dana Point. Also, San Diego would be a nice trip as well and hit up the Wild Animal Park.
I am also hoping that I will advance in my career somehow. Last year, I got into this highly competitive program at work and I will be done by the middle of this year. I hope that the completion of this program will give me a lot more opportunity and progress my career. I finally moved back into an office. I started off the year right at work. I am able to be more productive in the office than in the cubicle. I am able to relax and focus. It was great. Now all I have to do is get is decorated to my style so I can feel more at home. Things are looking really good.
I thought that I would be in a relationship by now and I just can't seem to make it work with the dudes. I know I always say this but I am not sure what to do in this area. Should I give up on trying to find a boyfriend? I should put myself out there more. I can join an online dating site and vow to make more of an effort to meet men socially. Now how would I do that? Dating events, speed dating, clubs/bars/lounges, parties, ask friends to set me up, meet up groups. I guess things along those lines.
Also, I am in a place in my life that I want to look into having my own child. I also want to look into what is required for adoption of a child and then the other thing I am interested in is buying a new home in 5 years or so. That means I want to pay off a lot more of my debt so I don't have a lot of bills to pay. A baby is what I have always wanted. The end of this year it is a priority. With my mother moving closer to my home it makes it more convient for me to have a child so she can watch the child while I go to work. I am not sure how much time she has left but I know my mother would love to have a grandchild around.
I guess I just gave myself a whole laundry list of life goals. I hope I am able to progress in some areas.
Looking at the past year, I have accomplished a promotion, dated a little bit, traveled some and was social. This year is going to be a lot more fun. I am hopeful for 2012 and I feel great about it.
