My goal is dance :) I finally got my raise and as of Christmas it's a full dollar more an hour. So it's feasible at last to take a weekly dance class and that pushes me to do my core workout every day and dance practice daily as well.

I'm all stoked!

PLUS a new area to sew for bwahahahaha.

I already started, with my party dress. It will work for latin dance :)

That's my only goal. Get back in shape. Move all pretty and graceful like. LOL.

Expand patio container garden from tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and salad ingredients after a bumper crop year. Hope to add peas and a few varieties of beans, carrots, and a potato bin in a corner of the yard. May try cabbage. Need to start a second composter as our current one is full and our cold winters really slow the process down.

Want to put in a couple of apple trees, but we'll see what the budget says come spring. Also plan to put in raspberry canes, as we miss having raspberries for jams and freezing (moved house a couple of years ago).

De-clutter basement storage room to expand pantry shelving. Then make more frequent trips to visit family in BC's Okanagan to stock up on fruits and veggies and get them canned up to bring home.

Knit and sew more, I have tons of fabric from when I used to work in a fabric store years ago that I need to put to use!

Bake all our own bread (we're on a roll at the moment, but sometimes we fall off the wagon and our kids actually prefer the home-made), make yogurt more often (good natural organic yogurt is expensive), keep things home-made and try to not succumb to going out for dinner.

Buy less and live more intentionally.

My plans (or dreams)

1. Get my house completely decluttered.

2. Get stuff started in my green house early enough.

3. Finish my goldfish pond.

4. Move the old frame work for the swings so I can use it to support my swinging chair.

5. Get rid of all the junk in the yard.

6. Have enough hay early enough for the winter, and also fire wood.

7. Ride Misty more.

8. Go fishing more.

9. Relax more.

10. Work on my Spanish.

Grow more on balcony garden
Marking local planting dates for the different veggies on my calendar to make it easier to time my planting.
Save more seeds.
Dry more foods this year and make some kind of real pantry
