My birthday!  
I’m looking forward to losing another 30 or so pounds this year. I know I can do it. I did it last year. Also looking forward to getting back to the Couch 2 5K program I abandoned as soon as the weather turned.

Looking forward to paying off more debt and being more financially stable.

Also this will be my first year attempting to really plant and maintain a garden more than just a couple of plants.

The current project/job is over at the end of January.

Which means I have to look forward to: saying farewell to the coworkers (they’re mostly nice, but sometimes I wonder when did I sign up to work in the gorillas cage), saying fare-thee-well to the customers (who aren’t the worst I’ve had, but they’re so unmotivated they depress us), and that eternal hope that the next job will be better…

Less than three months until the wedding!

If my eldest is well behaved we’ll consider getting her a bunny by the summer. I wouldn’t mind having a pet that others look after.
