2010

Last year around this time, I set New Year’s goals. I was determined to achieve these goals. They were the as follows:

-To learn to love myself more and stop putting ME down so much.
-Return those books that I checked out from the library back in September.
-Attempt to save some cash...possibly open up a savings account.
-Be friendlier. No more moody Melanie Mondays!
-Stop procrastinating so much.
-Move out.
-Increase my workouts from 2-3 days a week to 4-5 days a week, each workout must be an hour to an hour and a half. I need to lose about 30 lbs. Continue healthy eating habits.
-Spend more time with my sister Alexis, my stepmother, my stepsister, my dad, and my brother Isaiah.
-Chris Glick! When he smiles, I lose my freakin' mind! It is so beautiful and just...so...Chris Glick. It is horrible to make a person a goal, but who cares?

Unfortunately, I only achieved the following:

-Returned the books.

-Spent more time with my stepmother, dad, and Isaiah. Amara and Alexis were not around that much.

-I increased my workouts and lost about 16 lbs.

I do not want to go into next year still lusting after Christopher Glick. Either he will go out with me, or he will not. If he does not, it will be something I have to learn to accept. Instead of going after the man I really wanted, I settled for Noah and he made me unhappy. I tried to force it even though I knew he wasn’t right for me.

I was unable to move out with my sister because she lost her job in February.

Therefore, this year, when I set goals, I will try to be more realistic.

Goals for 2010:

-The story of Melanie and Chris Glick will begin by me saying hi to him BEFORE the New Year. You have to start somewhere. I will try to forge a friendship with him. If it does not work out or get to where I hope it can be, I will move on. It is better to have tried and failed than to not try at all, right? You should always give yourself the best chance of success. At least that is what LL Cool J said yesterday in a tweet.

-After Brittany graduates from high school, I will be in my own place.

-Purchase a new car. It does not have to be brand new. It can be a used car.

-Maintain healthy eating habits and lose an additional 15 lbs.

-Finish college. Criminal Justice seems to be my calling. I will be 30 in 2011.

I cannot believe how quickly my 20s went by. Crazy.

I want to fall in love and get married within the next 3-4 years. I'll start working on that today.
