goals

by katherine on January 5, 2009

in hooray!, life, what?

I was avoiding this.  I started writing a post about “things that bug me” but I just wasn’t into it.  So instead I thought I would share my goals.  I refrain from calling them resolutions although I am not sure why.  I have never been one to make new years resolutions and thus don’t have bad experiences surrounding failed resolutions.  Resolutions have always seemed more like rules, making me want to do them even less.

On the subject of change, I am not sure if I really know how to effect change in my life.  There are some things that are insurmountably difficult for me to do.  Example, calling people on the phone.  I really don’t have a reason except it is who I am.  I hope that I will someday improve.  But in the end if I don’t I will have to be ok with that.

||Goals||

Get a successful MCAT score

Apply to med school(s)

Start canning

Begin composting

Switch owen to cloth diapers

Avoid sacrificing my kids **too much** for the sake of my career goals

Get more interested in politics

Take a vacation sans kids

Put Addy in preschool

Play with my kids more

Think more about my incredulous faith

blog regularly

Use familiar and unfamiliar foods in new and healthy ways

I probably should put exercise on the list, but I am trying to be realistic.  What’s the fun in putting things on the list that probably won’t happen.  If I put exercise then I have to put “take vitamins” and other shit that I probably won’t do.

I remember when we were kids I used to call you Caddy M. Now you are Caddy W. and its weird.
I think we were always meant to be friends. You blog reveals how much we are alike and that you are the same person that I adored so much as a child. Even if you and Kelly always wanted to race me in the pool/play poison and of course you would win, you were twice my height. Competitive jerk faces.

Taking vitamins? Too much fucking work. Stick to eating salad.

Your MCAT score will be what you need it to be. Dr. Caddy will do.

Katherine, I would totally want to learn to can with you if I were there. And I would want to learn to compost too (too many rats here to make it worth it). I like your style.
