Personal Goals for 2009

Here are some personal goals I have set for myself for 2009:

-pay off my car
-fix my car
-pay off all debt (not really to much at all, so this one should be easy)
-get in better shape
-start to save enough money to put towards a down payment on a place
-keep on improving my cooking skills
-be a better person
-Go to Churchill, Manitoba to see the polar bears
-Hike up the Grouse Grind at least 2 times this year
-start my own business
-get my iron levels up
-Visit Leanne in Montreal
-Win the lottery


Well, that's on my to do list so far. I'm pretty sure that as the year goes on, this list will get bigger, but this is it for now. I also realize that some if these things will make it difficult to actually save money but whatever. Maybe I really win the lottery? Ha. Wouldn't that be great?!

Missing family

I'm sad that I'll be missing my nephew's 2nd Birthday party today. It's tough to miss those things. So I miss you family and wish that somehow they'd invent a time travel machine that I could hop into and magically appear at special events like these.

Right now

Things are going pretty good. I'm not working at the moment and I have been off since before Christmas, so it's time to get some work. The economy and the olympics seems to have impacted the industry out here a bit. Oh well. I have faith that I'll be back at work very soon. I'm still always looking for ways to exit the film industry. Right now it looks as though I may have something really good but more research will be the true decider on this one. More to come if anything actually pans out. Dave is great. He's been so busy working on his friend's feature film doing all the sound design, ADR and foley work on it. It can be frustrating at times for him but overall he's pretty excited about it. We've also been busy these last couple of months working on promoting his newest CD. It's due out May 5th, 2009 and we've been mailing it out to various magazines and blogs for review. Next step is mailing out to all the indie and college radio stations and try to get some airplay. I've also been busy at the gym. I go to a great gym that offers amazing programs. Right now my friend Tara and I are doing the Fighter Challenge. It's a super intense program that trains you as though you are about to go into a championship fight. Lots of sweating, weight training and stairs! I have a love/hate relationship with it to be honest but I really want to stick by my personal goal of being in the best shape of my life before I turn 30 (in 2 years). I also want to run a 1/2 marathon by then too so I have lots of work to do:) Alright, well that's about it for now.
