- Drop satellite TV - We did this and have adjusted well. I would say that I am almost completely over my withdrawal. Going from hundreds of channels to about 4 is rather jarring, but it was totally worth it!
- Replace Seth's vehicle - Seth got a 2008 Ford Ranger pickup truck last March and it is totally paid for.
- Pay off 2nd to last student loan - We did this several months ago and are now working on Seth's Sallie Mae loan.
- Organize/clean out the filing cabinet in our home office - Oh my, this still hasn't been done and it is driving me crazy. Whenever I have to find an important document, it takes forever!
- Learn a new craft (like crocheting or knitting) - I have learned how to do some basic crocheting, but I haven't really kept up with it.
- Make my own all-purpose cleaner, scouring powder, and laundry detergent - I have made all of these and use them regularly.
- Drink two quarts of water every day - I have been drinking more water since we stopped buying pop. I don't know if I drink a full 2 quarts, but I do know that I rarely feel parched when I leave school like I used to.
- Begin teaching flute lessons again - I now have 4 students and will have 5 in the new year!
- Get a summer job - I ended up working at Holiday World. I haven't decided about doing that again. It did help with the debt!
- Finish reading the Old Testament - I am almost through 2 Chronicles. Here are the books I still need to read for the first time in their entirety: Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi. I definitely slacked on this goal. I must admit that I find the sheer volume of the Old Testament VERY intimidating.
I guess I did at least reasonably well on 8 out of 10 goals, so I will call that a success! How did you do on your goals for 2010?
