2009 Personal Goals

I'm getting an early jump on these "new years resolutions" this year, and I'm going to commit myself to putting them in "writing." Apparently those of us who put goals in writing are 8times more likely to actually follow through with them (I just made that statistic up, like 95% of the statistics I actually quote, yes 95% was made up too).

Here they are in no specific order (and this is a pretty fluid list, I'll be updating them as the year goes on, as well as the progress towards them. Hopefully I can shame myself into accomplishing them before 09 goes away and then 010 (is that how you say it?) is here. Some of these are accomplishable (I can check the box when they are finished), some of these are Dr. Phil wholesome type goals and hopefully I will see them written down and try to do them.
