I'm in a fix-my-life kind of mood. (I guess I'm mentally getting around to New Year's now that I'm feeling a little more human.)

I can think of a few things I'd like to improve. Some of these can probably be done with minimal time or effort -- I just need to DO them.

1. Social life
We now own dishes and crock pots and stuff. We could throw parties. Because work deadlines appear on my schedule with very little notice, and in my personal life I make commitments far in advance, I will need to learn how to deal with schedule conflicts.

2. Finances
I badly need to update Quicken. (Did some of this tonight: checking and savings up to date!) I also want to pay better attention to saving and investing. Any effort at all would be a huge improvement over what I did last year.

3. Feet
Call Stanford. Duuuuuh.

4. Fitness / becoming active
I want to attempt to bike using my heels or arches. Bicycling is cheaper, less loathsome, more time-efficient, and far more flexible to schedule than swimming at the Y. It also requires about 1/4 mile less walking, unless the bike breaks down.

There are a couple more, but they are complex enough to deserve their own posts. I'll think about those later.

we do a lot of potluck-type things. host handles a main dish and maybe some drinks (soda, maybe wine) and everyone else chips in with all the other stuff. we usually have a TON of food.

keep it simple like pasta with sauce(s), baked potatoes with toppings, or something you can make ahead and pop in the oven, it makes things a lot less harried.

damn, i need to live closer.
