January Goals

I posted earlier about my craft-oriented resolutions for 2012. My non-craft resolutions are pretty simple:

1. Graduate with my Master of Fine Arts.
2. Have a baby. (Hopefully in that order!)
3. Sign up for a regular adoration hour.
4. Read 50 books.

I feel like I'm forgetting something, but there you go.

These have made it onto my year-long resolution list because they are either huge events, and/or require a sustained effort to achieve. I'll also have goals for each month, some of work towards my bigger resolutions and some of which will be their own things. I guess they're not that much different than to-do lists. :)

Here is January's, in no particular order:

• Hang up all of our pictures, artwork, etc.
• Finish Keith's second sock.
• Cast on Nicole's shawl.
• Buy yarn for a baby blanket.
• Finish the last short story of my manuscript.
• Revise a short story.
• Register for classes--baptism, birthing, and possibly breastfeeding.
• Write letters to my cousins at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery.
• Set a date for a knitting party.

Phew--looks like a lot to do in the remaining 14 days of this month, huh? Luckily I've started working on some of these things already--I'm hoping to knock one short story, one class, the date, and the letters off the list by the end of this week.

Right now the idea is that I'll post my goals here at the beginning of each month and do a recap of sorts near the end.
