2008 will be here in a few days...any new resolutions yet?

You see, I truly do not believe in resolutions. Its like setting yourself up to be mocked at for not fulfilling 'the promise to myself'.

How about taking it like a 'goal' instead of a resolution? Goal is a shorter word...easier to spell and pronounce...and it doesnt sound THAT big...right? Right!

I do have a few goals. Some major and a few not worth mentioning, but I shall share them all, if I can remember <~~a word which is non existant since I had the baby.

I have shed about 25 lbs or so. I have 10lbs or more to go. 10 most difficult lbs..why? With the Xmas and this coming New Year, co workers have been bringing in leftover xmas candies, cookies, goodies, pies and free lunch to the office. Sure, I could say no...the first 4 times and then say 'Errr, ok, BUT just a bite' and then 'Okay...I'll be right there!'. To cover the guilt, I would eat salad or just meat for dinner...again its hard as we had been going to the Indian restaurant 2 nights ago as the husband had a friend visiting from San Diego and tonight, we're going to my girlfriend's $1.4 million home in the SF Avenues for post Xmas pre New Year's party. She just spent $60k to renovate her bathroom and expanded her son's bedroom. So I told her that I would come in a bath robe and will take a bath in her new jacuzzi tub :)

Anyway, goal #1...Lose 10 more lbs or so.

Goal #2...make that money. about 60 more days before I start selling and have production on my books. I don't know what my goal in terms of yearly earnings would be. So as not to disappoint myself, I would goal for yearly income which is more than how much I am earning now.

Goal #3...move to a bigger home. Can't afford to even say that we are going to own one. With the Bay Area making big headlines with humungous Foreclosure rates, maybe renting a bigger home would be great.

Goal #4...not that this is the least important among the others, but this is the most difficult and emotional and time consuming goal. To heal my family. I wish for my son to meet Suraya sometime soon and heal the family. Sure..everyone thinks that this is easy. But I shall keep this point as shallow as possible...

Goal #5...to achieve the other 3 goals.

Any room for goal #6? After goal #2 has been achieved, the other goal will be TUMMY TUCK and liposuction...can???

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
