Bring it, 2010!

As one year winds down and another gets ready to begin, like most people I am reflecting and thinking of things I want to change for the upcoming year. My list for the upcoming year still includes some holdovers from last year:

• Walking Hooch more.
• Cooking more from the cookbooks I own or previously printed recipes I've wanted to try.
• Getting into latex catsuit shape (additional bonus to this goal: I'm a member of a new gym so I'm sure I will have great new gym stories - and pictures of questionable locker contents - to share here in 2010...or 2K10 as I've seen it written and like).
  
• Finally meeting the people I've chatted with on here for years.
  

This year, I've decided to add two more:

• Retain the very slight grasp I have of my sanity in what has to be the last year of living on one small income with no unemployment benefits and an ever increasing credit card balance. I am aware that there are people in more dire straits than we are and I just have breathe and remember that.
  

• Apply for jobs at least twice a week. 2010 has to be the year I become an official technical writer/documentation specialist/any other name employers come up with for the same job. No matter where it is. Yes, I don't really want to move to Fargo, North Dakota or Seattle where I have a feeling I would be one of the thousands that kill themselves due to all the rain but I've decided to overlook the location and focus more on the job (although I think I would still pass on New York City).

I've heard that when one writes down goals, they are more likely to achieve them. I'm not sure if that is just some Tony Robbins hooey but I thought I'd give it a try by doing it here and also on paper that I'll post...somewhere.

As usual, I'm sure all the bullet points will produce a story that could only happen to me and I'll try to post it here first instead of on Facebook. Key word: "try".
