Die Buchwalds

A year ago today, I let my husband sleep in. This year, I made him get up & return a floor sander to a location about an hour away from our apartment. I’m a big ol’ meanie. When he gets back, though, we’re going to eat donuts & watch The Princess Bride. Hopefully that’ll make up for the floor sander.
Since last year, we have acquired a kitten, a job for Matt and a house. I’d say we did pretty well. We also saw a lot of really awesome people get married and some others have babies. They’ve done pretty well, too.

Recap of last year’s goals…
(my goals)
1. I did a little better with cooking after Matt got his job, but he still does most of it.
2. Matt has a job, so I think this goal was accomplished.
3. The scrapbooks are better, but still far from caught up.
4. Going to the Y has pretty much stopped. Matt’s never around enough to use the membership and I haven’t been to class since I found out I was going to have surgery on my foot. It was kind of a wasted membership for the past few months and we’ll be cancelling it because we’re moving, but when we did use it I was really glad to have it. If you ever find yourself at the Y in my town, take Susan’s classes. She’s the best.
5. Still haven’t seen Gone with the Wind
6. I *did* finish Paul’s book. I wrote about it here.
7. We taught 8th grade religious education. That was an adventure… I loved every minute of it.
(“us” goals)
1. DONE
2. DONE
3. Will be DONE in July
4. Still working on it.

Goals for this year…
1. Fix my thyroid: This should be pretty self-explanatory :)
2. Find a part time job closer to the house: My current job is too far from our new house and with all the running around I’m going to be doing in the coming weeks & months for goal #1, it’ll be easier to work part time.
3. Encourage Matt to write his thesis/grad paper/whatever he’s calling it these days: Also self-explanatory.
4. Many goals for our new house: This is a whole separate post… we’ll get to it later today, maybe.
5. Find a friend for Ratzi: He needs company & someone to run around the new house with so he doesn’t get fat.
6. Top Secret Special Project: If I told you, I’d have to kill you ;)
