Yes the readers have spoken and the conclusion is 14 shall be the number of goals to complete this year. It was a difficult decision because I’m used to creating a laundry list of to-dos and only completing a handful of them. But this year is going to be different. This year I’m making a shorter and more focused list. I’m already off to a great start since I’m posting my list a full 10 earlier than I did last year. So here’s the list (in no particular order):

1. Pay Off 30% of Credit Card Debt
2. Graduate College
3. Find A Position as a High School History Teacher
4. Pass Praxis II
5. Read at least 4 books this year (cover to cover)
6. Win An Award for my Blogging
7. Surprise my finance with something big and/or romantic
8. Restart the BlackPages
9. Cook At Least Once A Month for my fiancee
10. Stick To A Set Budget
11. Stop Holding My Tounge and Speak My Mind
12. Be A Tourist of a Major American City
13. Go See a Broadway or Broadway Quality Show
14. Buy Bedroom Furniture

So those are my goals. How many will I complete? My guess 14!!! Yes, I’m putting my foot down and saying that for the first time in 2 years that I will complete the entire list. So…Welcome to 2008, the year to be great!!!
