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.

Hershey special dark giant chocolate bar Tuck Everlasting Coke Zero Dark chocolate and milk chocolate bar with almonds Hard candy caramels Ghirardelli caramel chocolate bar Cookies Pay Day candy bar Winder Farms chocolate chip cookies Mini stocking with chocolates Christmas cards from a few students I am definitely set on the candy front. Thanks, kiddos
