2012 Goals in Review... At the beginning of 2012, I published these goals on my blog: 1. Get to the gym (or exercise) 3 or more times per week. That's about 156 check-ins for the year (compared to last year's 112). I am already behind! 2. Get to bed by 10 PM or earlier. 3. Read scriptures every day before work. 4. Read a book a month for pleasure. 5. Learn a song on the piano (keyboard, since that's all I have). 6. Limit eating out to twice per month. (Taco Bell is a weekly thing before my Tuesday night class at the rather inconvenient time of 4:30-7:30, so this doesn't count.) 7. Pay off my credit card.

Thanks, kiddos...
