RACHELCAKES: NEW YEARS

January 1, 2010. Ive given a lot of thought about what is most important to happen and accomplish this year. Some have been on the to do list forever. Some are new. But here they are, with so much hope and determination and motivation to accomplish my top 10 most important goals:

1.

MONEY.

Stick to Budget, excluding occasion. I have the budget details in my new notebook. The goal for the year is: By December 2O1O, have a savings account with a 4 digit number.

2.

DEBT.

Eliminate the following outstanding debt: Cyprus, Library, Swine flu ER trip. Not that much debt. Totally attainable.

3.

WEIGHT.

Set up eating and exercise plans per month. Goal for the year: 200 pounds. Maybe Im being too easy on myself, but I am not an athletic person. I love to eat. I also dont mind being curvy or larger. I just want a smaller tummy basically. If I can accomplish this, I will be very thrilled in myself.

4.

CUPCAKES.

Yeah, losing weight AND cupcakes galore! Baking in general though, cuz I want to make some cute cookies and regular cakes. But cupcakes are my favorite and my goal is this: Improve the skill. Once I thought I just was not a baker. Period. But with some practice, I succeeded in my first successful cheesecake, then I made box cake good! Then the monumental cream cheese filled pumpkin cupcakes with homemade frosting. My main goal is to prefect my decorations and experiment with frostings and fondunt.

5.

OHIO.

Hopefully in Spring we can go on vacation. Spring or not, sometime this year. And I want to get closer to our move, in all aspects.

BLOG.

Blog more. Here and possibly another one, kind of auto-biography style. A lot of close friends have told me I could write a book. Not happening. But a blog, for my own sake, would be a good thing to start on this year because I have been thinking about it a while. I want to document my baking endeavors and my beliefs and relationship with God and every day life as well.
