My Goals for 2013…
* Finish editing my book and publish it.
* Achieve a high level of income doing something I enjoy. Ok, I’ll take any income right now but ya’ know, I aspire to make it big.
* Buy some new clothes. Of course I need to wait for the above to happen. I always put myself last in the budget, so yea, what are ya’ gonna’ do?
* To connect more with my local friends and expand my IRL local social circle. Particularly, girl friends. I need more cool broads in my life. And if you’re one of my local real life friends reading this… Jesus Christ call me to do something once in a while, will ya’?! Just lock your kids in a closet for one Happy Hour for God’s sake, it won’t kill ya’…
* To punch Ramona from Real Housewives of New York in the face.
* To go on a vacation or at least away for a weekend that doesn’t involve a wedding, death, birth, graduation, or any other family gathering/milestone. I’d like a vacation for the kids but I’d also like one alone. I’ve never been on an “adults only” get-a-way. Well not since kids were born almost 19 years ago, anyway.
* I’d like to not be such a twat. I know I know it’s part of my charm but, well I guess I’d just like to feel less crabby. A little snark never hurt anyone, that’s not going anywhere…
* I vow to NOT: climb to the top of anything, jump out of anything high or moving, hike to the bottom of anything, run anywhere, bike anywhere, or contort myself in a hot room (unless it involves a man and being naked).
* I do like to lift weights though, I know isn’t that odd? If I was a guy I probably would have been into power lifting. I wouldn’t do it as a girl, I’d have to gain weight or get all bulky and that’s just unflattering. Plus my great rack would get in the way. So, I’ll try to do that more often, but not too much.
* I’m gonna’ try like hell to get my sister moved here to Rochester. But first it involves me making a trip to Detroit to help get her house ready for sale. So, yea my goal is to get to Detroit, the rest will follow…
* To be an even more awesome Mom. (as if that were possible, chuh) Ok, I do want to train my girls to be more tidy.
* I want to give back more. Somehow, some way. Volunteer, donate, mentor, philanthropamorphize or somethin’
* I would really love to get a new car but ya’ know, number 2 on the list has to happen first. Or I need to win a contest or get a Sugar Daddy or something of that ilk.
* I want to get out and do more hip things that I used to enjoy – drag shows, live music, art exhibits, donkey shows, cockfights… I pride myself on being well rounded.
* I really really want to do more video blogs. Yes, Maureen I need you! I haven’t forgotten. I just needed to get through the move, the holidays, the plague.
* I would like to have a drag queen dress me up one night. Yes, I have a secret wish to be a diva with va va voom!
* Punch Ramona from Real Housewives of New York in the face… again.
I really really just want to be able to pay my bills and have me and my kids be happy and healthy. Is that too much to ask? I’d like all those I care about to be happy too but I don’t have much control over that. For once I just want a year with more ups than downs. Or at least just make the downs less catastrophic, gettin’ tired of that shit, yo.
I wish you all a very healthy and happy 2013. And don’t forget to keep reading, following, and sharing my blog, Facebook, and Twitter!
I would love to gain a high level of income from something I enjoy (but of course some of those things are frowned on when done for money). I haven’t been to a good donkey show in over a decade.
Stick with me Jon, I know a good donkey show/cock fight combo place…
Hey Madge. I have a feeling that good things are coming your way this year. Keep the snark coming. It’s a little refreshing sometimes.
I sure hope so! Thanks! It’s only refreshing sometimes?! harumph!
Gad I wish you didn’t live in Rochester, I would call you and I don’t have to lock anyone in the closet (well maybe a husband).
I would hold Ramona for you, hell I might even punch her.
Happy 2013 and here is hoping you achieve all of what you want.
Aw thank you! Maybe we can have a Skype cocktail! lol Happy 2013 to you too!
Yeah, high level of income doing what I love. That’s at the top of my list. Let’s do it together shall we?
Nice to meet you! Here from LinkedIn
Thanks for reading! Nice to meet you! I’d settle for doing something I don’t loathe right now.
Ramona is SO annoying and I would definitely punch her in the face too if I had the opportunity. I think experiencing new and different things is a great goal that everyone should have to enrich our lives and help us grow. Thanks for sharing its always fun hearing what other peoples new years resolutions are.
Thank you for reading! I think if Ramona opens her eyes any wider they will explode.
Amen, darlin’. Not surprising that we have some similar “wanna’s”. I’d hold any of the wives for you. Can we start a “Suger Daddy Search Club”? I’m ready whenever you are. And no one does snark like you do so, no, that can’t go anywhere. I’ve been a bit more obnoxious than usual lately…it’s been one of those years. I think you’re right, “more ups than downs’ is good start!
Oh Lawd I need a Sugar Daddy… or Mama, hell I’ll switch teams if I have to. Here’s to the ups!
lol Cheers! If you hit Ramona you might have an in w/ one of the other wives??
I had to ask my wife who the hell is Ramona, and yes, please punch her lights out.
Dude, seriously…
So glad I discovered yr blog (from LinkedIn Bloggers helping bloggers). You’ve got some great goals. Actually you had me at the first one, as that is my goal too. (Oh that and move back to California from England.) But all the others are great. I guess Ramona is a real pain eh? Don’t watch the show, but I can imagine. Love your style.
Thank you so much for reading! I hope you reach your goals! Ramona is just a drama queen, that’s all. lol
Sounds a bit like my list, though I don’t know who Ramona is.
You don’t want to know…
Excellent goals for the year!! If I were in Rochester (or you in NH) I would love to call you up for a few adult beverages!!
I’m in NY! Thanks!
Getting out and doing more hip things will be on my list for this year, too. A cockfight might give me nightmares, but I would like to see some real, live roller derby.
Cool list!
Yea, I don’t really want to see a cockfight, that was just a funny.
Ugh, Ramona….
And, I have wanted Rupaul to teach me how to do my makeup for about 16 years now, so I know from whence you speak on that one….
Girrrrllll, you know it! You better work!
Sounds like 2013 will be a great year for you if you set your sights on the things you want. Travel is always a good thing, so the best of luck on those endeavors.
Thanks!
