You sound like my husband, he has been bugging me for a goal list since we got married:

1. Be debt free except for a mortgage (when we finally buy) in 5 years

2. Go back to working out 3 times a week at least

3. Continue eating a more healthy and natural diet

4. Enjoy my maternity leave when it comes around (hopefully 9 weeks)

5. Survive the year DH is deployed

6. Take Jordyn on the 2 week trip to England after her senior year of high school

7. Make it back to Quebec for a nice week long vacation once more in my life

8. Support DH after he gets out of the military and goes back to college to get his degree

9. Watch both my kids finish high school, college, and walk down the aisle

10. Possibly finish the MBA I started

How about accomplish these things in the next 6 months.
1. clean out garage. DH did this over the summer and it's stuffed full of stuff again.
2. organize our family photos. We use to do creative memories. We stopped when tween was in the 1st grade. At least the photos are in photo boxes and in order.
3. get rid of dh's computer. The think is a dinosaur
4. tile my kitchen floor. I need to call the tiler dude.
5. clean my carpets. They are dingy.
6. put Hannah's school photos on a disk. They are scanned on my hard drive.
7. figure out how to work my photo printer. I have photos I want to make prints of.
8. figure out how to make a siggie. I have the software but no patience.
9. clean out this computer. It's running slow and it shouldn't
10. Get rid of the clothes I don't wear.
11. Go to Calif. with DH for some wine tasting. He really wants to go. It's his dream in life.
12. Get a rain coat. I need one.
13. I need some new towels for the bathroom.

2. I hope someday to drive a new car. Even though i desperately need a new one a "new car" for me is still used:(

4. Someday i would like to take DH and the girls to Hawaii or Florida.

7. I want to meet someone famous. If i had my choice i would like to go to lunch with Oprah or someone dreamy like George Clooney.
