It sounds so futuristic! Hello Twenty-Ten! I was perusing my “time machine” posts from the previous January 1′s that I’ve posted. It’s been… fun? I wont bore you with a recap. I promise. It was just interesting to see where I was in previous years as compared to right now. The more things change, the more things stay exactly the same. Some things any way.
In the more immediate, this time last year I was going raw. That didn’t work out exactly, but it majorly impacted my eating habits. This year I am going to eat at least one 100% raw meal a day, two if possible. So far, so good.
Last January I posted this and from that list I’ve gotten a new mesh juicing cone and yarn. I still have not gotten a video camera and I am still kicking myself over it. I have been wanting one for almost ten years now. I really regret not having one, especially when all I have are short (thirty seconds and less!) clips of mom with the kids. I don’t want that to be my greatest regret, especially when recording devices are so affordable. I just can’t find one I am satisfied with.
At the end of the month I plan to re-evaluate the list, see what I can cross off entirely (decide we don’t actually need), what I can maybe move to February’s list (and note if I’ve been saving for it), and what I can actually purchase. This months wish list:
- a good video camera
- Nintendo DSi for the kids – especially Malachai purchased Feb 5 2010
- new bike for Fish
- iMac to replace my PowerBook which is dying purchased Feb 5 2010
- new shelves for my cookbooks
- eta:
- Also need to fix the computer monitor issues.
- Nook to replace Sony PRS when they die
- pasta attachment for Kitchenaid
- tamper and wrench for blender
- new pitcher for blender?
- this box of nifty from NatGeo
My intention is to recreate a “wishlist” every month (I usually keep track of these things on a piece of paper in my bag or on my phone) and really track our wants and needs and make goals of them.
Dad and I sat down today and made a household todo list – I am going to convert it to a page in here so I can keep track of those items. He expects to be able to start in March. In the meantime, I am going to be FreeCycling like a madman to get rid of stuff. This morning I Freecycled a bunch of unused glassware, a food processor, a glass dish and carrier, and a coffee carafe. Those items made room in my cabinet to put away my baking pans and cupcake pans and lunch sacks instead of moving them around because there was no place to put them.
