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.

You ROCK! I remember seeing some posts about your Quicken catch-up, and I was way impressed. Remember how we were going to challenge each other? HA! I hadda go and get sick to weasel out of THAT one! :-)

But I'm working on it now. I'm done with the bank statements for checking and savings, and they're all reconciled, too, all the way up to the statements that showed up last week. YAY! Now I am working on cash, which is not nearly as far behind but will still be a mess because I don't remember everything. My goal is to get that and my credit cards done tonight. Later I get to do 401(k)s and shit. Would you believe I even had an asset account for my car? NOT ANY MORE, MONKEY BOY! At least not THAT car! Maybe I'll make a new one for my new car. Hahahahahahahaha.
