Barbara - No, I didn't make a quick recovery, and actually thought this post was somewhat "rambly." After I read it later, my first thought was, "What was I thinking? I was going to SIMPLIFY this year!!" I assure you that I am NOT any sort of wonder woman, and I think I probably bit off more than I can chew with this list!

Kathryn - I forgot to mention that I'm giving up sleep for 2010. I'll definitely let you know if I'm planning to travel to the Bay Area. I probably will, but don't know any details just yet. Definitely will see you at Jamboree, though!

Whitney - I didn't know you're a DAR member! I couldn't find your email address anywhere (probably lack of sleep made me miss it), but let's keep in touch about getting together at CC and/or NIGR!

J.M. - I use a Franklin planner (hard copy) plus keep things posted in my Outlook calendar (which cross posts to a Google Calendar and syncs with my phone). What I really need is someone to tap me on the shoulder and say, "Hey, time for ____." That would be awesome (but also creepy).

Tracy, Tina, & Donna - thanks for your well-wishes. I definitely need them. I've already fallen off the health wagon by consuming way too many holiday sweets, but hopefully that will stop soon, now that we're running out!

Elizabeth,
Will you have time to sleep?! I can't wait to read about your goal progress - everything you write is a good read and entertaining to boot. Do let me know if your travels will bring you to the Bay Area.

Great aspirations! Some of ours are similar and actually might make our paths cross... I too would love to attend NIGR this year. But my attendance is, sadly, based on whether or not I can accrue enough leave from my job to go. I'll probably attend DAR's Continental Congress at least one or two days. I was supposed to go and page last year, but I just couldn't get enough leave from work. (Funny how it seems that work is getting in the way of my fun... how dare it!)

I'm also desperate to get my old photos scanned and my database cleaned up with COMPLETE sources. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can even get through a tiny bit of it.

Good luck in your adventures! And if we both end up at NIGR and DAR we should get together!

Loved the opening quote as well. One of your goals, the getting the old photo's scanned, corresponds with one of mine. The rest of your goals just made me go: "how do you keep all of those groups seperate?" I hope you succeed and wish you a lot of health and time for yourself in 2010!

As a mother of two young daughters, I can completely relate to what you described (especially the potty-training thing) and that "me time" is hard to come by but necessary for your mental health. Good luck with all of your goals. You have an impressive list.

Best wishes for 2010!

What wonderful goals! I love how you are putting yourself first. Keep healthy and make time for yourself.

Hi Elizabeth...did you make a super quick recovery to write all your wishes? I am totally exhausted thinking about your resolutions and goals. I think you are a wonder woman, and I believe you will accomplish most items on your list. Anyway, glad you are doing better and remain healthy in 2010. Best wishes to you.

I love the opening quote! I, too, am not too sorry to see 2009 go. All in all, I suppose it wasn't that bad, but...it wasn't that great either. You have a VERY ambitious set of genealogical goals for the new year...I wish you all the best and hope that you accomplish EVERY one! Do try to take care of yourself...it is the most important thing and one we all forget about. Happy New Year!!!!
