2007 Goals - Wrapping Up

Watch 100 movies. (As of today, 104/100 watched.) (I made it! And then some.)Cook dinner at least once a week. (My health has made this impossible lately. I don't feel a bit guilty, though. I do the best I can.)
Make 5 eco-friendly changes in my habits/behaviors/our household. - These are all met! Woo hoo!
- Purchase, put up, and use outdoor clothesline and use indoor drying rack (instead of electric dryer).

Use my reusable shopping bags - use no more than
2008 Goals
More than resolutions, I'd call these goals and aspirations. They're things I'd really like to do, but if circumstances change, I won't care if they are no longer priorities for me. This list definitely assumes that I'm feeling about the same as I am now all year. Hopefully that won't be the case, and if so, there are many other things I want to do with my life. But I can be very content with these ideas in the meantime.
(1) Read 60 books.
(2) Watch 100 new movies.
(3) Complete an online educational course.
(4) Write at least 208 posts for Somebody Heal Me (about 4 a week).
(5) Use no more than 25 disposable bags.
(6) Cook one complete meal a month.
(7) Bake something each month.
(8) Pitch 5 magazine articles.
(9) Try to grow tomatoes.
(10) Adopt a dog.
(11) Take a class at The Merc.
(12) Finish putting together wedding photo album.
(13) Complete a knitting project.
If you've established goals for 2008 and/or set them for 2007, please share what they are and the outcomes in the comments. Or just share your thoughts generally on goal setting and new year's resolutions.

I made a whole page on my blog for my 8 in '08. :) http://evancalous.wordpress.com/8-in-08/
i love your list. i don't usually make resolutions. but i am keeping track of the books i read this year, so i can hopefully remember them. i made the switch this year to reusable bags, as well. :) love it.
I enthusiastically support your goal to adopt a dog. While when you're in the throes of agony it's somewhat of a daunting responsibility, it's also threraputic, I believe, to feel that fuzzy, concerned head on your lap.
Diana, my favorite part of your list is adopting a dog. Surely because I have four dogs and three cats. Besides my husband, my pets, really brighten my life. My new years mantra is: prioritize, simplify, have fun (more nature walks-although I am freaked out by that recent murder of that lovely woman) and keep it positive (to try to find the good side, keep my chin up, etc.) I'd like to watch less tv, get into a local yoga class on a Sat and get a walk in before work. We'll see. I hope your visit to the headache clinic is helpful. All the best. c
