1. get msniq pregnant (carryover from this year) 2. reclaim the garage, generally keep the house tidy 3. break 2:30 in an olympic length triathlon 4. move mom out of the house 5. don't get fired. (I don't think I'm going to get fired, just ... given TTC timing I don't really want to push myself for a promotion right now)
1. Lose 20 lbs. 2. Spend less. DH's company probably won't get bonuses this coming year so I need to reevaluate the budget if I want to meet my goal for a down payment on a new house in 2-3 years. 3. Take more opportunities to do fun things with the kids since DS2 is better able to run and play nowadays. 4. Get back to walking/jogging 5-6 days a week. 5. More regular date nights with DH. This is both a time and a budget item.
1. Find an awesome new job! 2. Payoff the debt we accumulated this year from buying/selling houses. 3. Make some decisions about a timeline for possible #2 (a lot of this will depend on the job situation) 4. Get several rooms in the new house painted. 5. Take a weekend trip to the Omaha Zoo and a longer trip to Austin to visit family. 6. Start some more aggressive retirement and college savings.
Start exercising again and lose weight. Ideally 40-50 pounds. Get back to following a budget. Go back to work full time (just heard that an offer is being put together to accomplish this). Not move.

1. Dead horse, but get more stable job. 2. Lose 5 lbs that I gained over the summer. 3. Strong-arm H into completing some home improvements that are annoying me. 4. Be more involved in my local community.
2. Find more activities to fill our weekends so I don't depend on the tv or shopping to keep us occupied.
3. Finish paying off the last of our CC debt and my last student loan.
4. Generally be more active. Not necessarily lose X lbs (but losing the 30 lbs of baby weight would be great), but just to be healthier in general and model good behavior for the kids.
1.) Spend less $ (2015 was the most expensive year of our life - had a baby, bought a house, did a full outside renovation including new roof and siding) 2.) Make more me time (this year has been all about survival) 3.) Be more active 4.) Read 5.) Figure out my next career move 6.) Be more social... Hire a babysitter.
1. Return to work after maternity leave. Do a decent job of it.
2. Return to some kind of training (TBD for what event - half marathon? olympic tri? century?). Do a decent job of it.
3. Get my feet under me as a parent. Do a decent job of it. (We're 3.5 weeks in and I feel like I'm mostly doing ok, and I'm enjoying being Hobbes' mom, but it still feels like I'm living somebody else's life.)
2016 is not going to be the year that I PR anything. I'm mostly looking to integrate parenthood into things I used to enjoy/be good at as possible and keep all the balls up in the air in the meantime.

1. Finish house repairs and move 2. Decide WHERE to move 3. @littlemoxie I'm stealing your Amazon box deal. 4. Maybe continue being soda-less? (That was my resolution for 2015, and I'm three weeks away from accomplishing it!)
1. Stop eating everything in site and lose some weight 2. Graduate, pass licensing exam, get a job 3. Help DW get a job somewhere else 4. MOVE THE FUCK OUT 5. Decide whether our family is complete
2016 could be a big year for us. But it could be a big flop too. Managing expectations is rough!
6. Find the time/energy to focus on our relationship more than we have in the past 2 years. 2 years of neglect is not good for a relationship, even if you have twins.
- Work on this clutter situation and assigning feelings to stuff - Accept help - Be respectful of family and their need to know about every shit that their granddaughter takes - Leave the house every day
Yes, I used to read so much more. I can't only blame it on this place, but I think my smart phone in general. I could pick up a book, but my phone is in my pocket already.
