RESOLVED: Not to suck at golf. Still harder than I thought. First and foremost, I have to enjoy it. Practice at least once for each 2 times at or over 100. Get my index under 20 (got to 20.9 in 2011). Eliminate the fade from my driver (failed in 2011). Use fairway woods (failed in 2011).
RESOLVED: Play music. For now, play guitar an average of 1/2 hour a day when at home or have access (success in 2011). Listen to music (at least 1 club or concert per month!) (Failed in 2011)
RESOLVED: Cut down on brainless computer games. This has been a problem for years. What a waste of my time. Big failure in 2011)
RESOLVED: Be organized. Keep up the "Jen List". This is my monthly "to do" list that my good friend Jennifer recommended I set up so I'd recognize what I was and wasn't getting done. I feel much more productive when I use it. This was a big success in 2010. Also, keep my finances in order. I have a spreadsheet with my budget on it. BIG help! Keep house. Maintain the car. Always be within an hour from being ready for company! A place for everything and everything in its place! Success in 2011.
RESOLVED: Brain Activity. Continue to read and write and educate myself. Try and do new things. Do things that keep me mentally active. Pretty good in 2011.
RESOLVED: Travel. Completed the 50-State Pledge in 2011! Now I have the 58 County Pledge, with 30 left as of January 1. Wanted to do at least 20 of these in 2011, but only did 13. 17 left as of 1/1/12, but most are close and I may finish in 2012. As time and finances allow, do more! Visit Arcata at least 4 times (failed in 2011).
RESOLVED: Keep up this site. I did well in 2011 though I pared it back a bit. I'll stay with at least one major update each month. Finish the vacation postings. Add house and guitar sections (failed in 2011).
RESOLVED: Socialize. Writing is very solitary. So are road trips. I need to be sure I meet people and maintain friendships. I've got golf friends, music friends, neighborhood friends, family, it's all pretty good!
RESOLVED: Look for the next big thing. Some venture that could have an indefinite time span. I may not find it, but I need to seek. Craigslist is a minimum. A fair job looking in 2011, but didn't find it.
RESOLVED: I may add one here later.
RESOLVED: Don't get too hung up on resolutions! (I've always been good at this!
