36 in 365

Ok, so ... I said I wasn't making a list of goals for this month and I said that I wasn't making "New Years Resolutions".

And I'm not.

Not exactly. :)

I saw the idea for 36 in 365 at Operation Skinny Jeans (<--great weight loss blog written by two fun ladies on a mission to shed the fat! Please visit their blog; you'll be glad you did!). You can find Jess's list of 36 in 365 HERE and Alex's list HERE.

After some thought, I've decided to come up with a list for the year. Some of these might become monthly goals again, but for now, I'm going to leave it like this and shoot for getting these things done throughout the year. However, I reserve the right to change my mind. Again. :)

This is just for fun. I will not wallow in sorrow and self pity if I don't stick to this list. If I remember, I will try to update this throughout the year.

I have divided this list into categories, yet not prioritized in any way (ha! I am so diplomatic!).

Here is my list:
