2019 is winding down (or gearing up for the big finale, depending on your point of view). I’m sure there are some compulsive goal setters out there frantically working to check the last thing off their list before the clock hits midnight on New Year’s Eve. I would not be one of them.
Truth be told I’m not even sure there was a list to begin with so how ’bout we do this thing backwards and make it a banner year.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
15 Goals We Crushed In 2019
1. Work out at the gym at least four days a week for ten consecutive weeks before dropping off the face of the earth again.
2. Find the perfect no show sock.
3. Learn three brilliant gift wrap hacks while still maintaining an utter inability to tie a bow.
4. Discover the joy of of butter soft American Eagle jeans.
5. Manage to create and mail out our first Christmas card in four years.
6. An entire year with no emergency vet runs/hospitalizations for Gracie (knock on wood).
7. Find a carpet cleaner tough enough for salsa, muddy paws, vomit, and wine stains.
8. Buy, outgrow, then donate at least two rounds of kids’ pants.
9. Another year without kitchen injuries requiring stitches, severe burn treatment, or concussion protocols.
10. Finish five months of driving instruction without speeding tickets, fenders benders, or getting run off the road by maniacal rush hour drivers.
11. Find at least three great locations for a chocolate stash in the new house.
12. Recover from the Hair Color Debacle of 2018.
13. Collect upwards of 2,000 e-mails.
14. Spike heart rate and/or blood pressure twice daily reading up on politics in the twitterverse.
15. Finish up with a stockpile of fourteen paper towel rolls, five mega boxes of gallon Ziplocs, three boxes of quart Ziplocs, six double pack boxes of sandwich Ziplocs, two Kleenex boxes, twelve toilet paper rolls, and assorted laundry supplies. Should the flood hit and you need supplies head on over to my house – we’ve got you covered.
If you would be so kind, I’d like more information on #s 4 & 7? Specifics, please?

I thought the girl was label obsessed with the AE jeans thing until she decided her butt looked weird in one of her pairs and I tried them on because I’m too old to care if my butt looks weird. They’re so COMFY and STRETCHY but still look like nice jeans, it’s pretty awesome.
As for the carpets – Capture Carpet Cleaner is the bomb! It’s a spray/powder combo and it’s gotten everything (!!) out of my rugs. My friend pulled red wine out of hers with it; another got steak juice out of a white carpet. Ah-ma-zing.

If I did a list of goals I would be rejoicing that there was still time to put a few more goals on this year’s list. Of course with the intention or is un-intention of starting them let alone finishing even one.

You’d have to be really dedicated to start AND finish stuff between Christmas & New Years.

We amass toilet paper and paper towels, too. We buy those 24-roll packages of ScotTissue and 12 roll packs of Bounty, and right now we have approximtely 5 of the former and 10 of the latter. Gives us a warm feeling to know we have all that…

There’s a lot to be said for knowing you won’t get caught out without a spare roll of TP…

Looks like a great year to me. Switch #9 to the workshop and I’m a happy camper in any year. Best of everything in 2020, Laura.

I think avoiding ERs and Urgent Cares make it a banner year for everyone. Thanks, Dan. Happy new year to you, too!
