One Year Goals Update, October 23
I am documenting my life goals on this site as a way to keep myself accountable, and to possibly inspire others to do the same on their blogs. One friend already took my example to make her own life updates on her blog: Adventures in Writing, Goals for 08-09.
With no more ado, here is my most recent update:
* My next shorter term goal was to break in to the 20ks at Amazon (and have 100 reviews up) - Reached 28K this week. Yeah! Teens are coming next! I have set until May 09 for this goal so I think i will get there way before that. I still haven’t posted 100 reviews yet - I s
eem to do reviews in batches. I am waiting for the next time I feel inspired to make a batch.
* Taxes - There’s been some crazy IRS stuff. I finally filled out my 2007 forms and need to figure out where to hand them in. ASAP. I hope I can do this tomorrow on my way out of town. We don’t like heading down the mountain unless we have to - gas is too expensive! I also need to figure out how to roll my 2001 penalty into the rest of my penalty plan. AND got to get together with my new taxes person to figure out how to get 08 in order. I don’t want to be late, ever again.
* Stuff in Storage - We are heading to AZ this weekend to pick up our things from storage. We’ve rented a uhaul trailer ($200! Yeeps). We arranged to stay with a friend for two nights and to see some people while out there. Just need to pack a few things tonite. We won’t be getting my RV this trip, but i’d like to grab a few things from it. So I will still have to make another trip out there soon.
* Organizing Utility/Laundry Room - This has been a fun project and I am almost done. I am pleased with how this came out. YAY me!
* Paint Living Room - The kid we hired never ever showed up. So I just did it myself last week. I’ve never done anything like this before and it was trail and error. But my accent wall came out lovely and DH really approves too. As far as the flooring, this will wait. The economy is too sucky right now. And we decided to return the ceiling fan and just use the one that is up already (get our $119 back from Lowes).
* Office Organized - I did most of it but still need to set aside time to do the drawers. I documented my office cleaning project.
* Crestline Living Website - Still improving in traffic, now has a page rank of 3, and is getting much much closer to my goal of number one Google search result for Crestline California.
* Making 1k a Month from my Projects - Still not seeing things pay off, but I am still in the building phase. Sigh. Too much to do. I think this goal is too big for one year. Maybe I should break it into smaller steps.
Misc New Goals -
* Organize walk in closet
* Organize bathroom shelves

Well darn it all, but it turns out we could not afford to make a run to Arizona right now. So I still need to get out there and empty my storage some day.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem? Storage in another state, things you haven’t seen in years? What have you done about it?
I don’t have storage in another state but I have boxes in my attic that I moved from the UK to the States when I lived there 18 years ago. And then back to the UK 15 years ago and they’re still sitting in the attic unopened Mostly books I think. Talk about out of sight out of mind.
Boxes in the attic is okay - at least you are not paying for that storage, endlessly, each year, for really no good cause - like me.
Although….keeping boxes of books in a whole other country…might not be a great plan. Books are so fragile and all the heat, cold, rodents, moisture…you may not have actual books left when you ever get back to them!
Now that we’ve moved into our RV, we also have a storage in CA at twice the price. I think it never ends. I really have a desire to get the goods down to the bare minimum and stop acquiring more!
Our plan, such as it is…to try to craiglist most of the things we are storing. At some point. Stuff. [sigh]
