I had a few goals floating around in my head, but none that I actually put down on paper, so technically I don't actually have to feel bad about not reaching them, right? ; )
The only one I did accomplish was to read a book a month. Once I started digi scrapping a few years ago, my book reading habit got kicked to the curb. But since we were in the States, I decided to take advantage of free books and have read a lot since we have been home. So I get a check for that.
I also downsized my scrapbooking obsession, but it still qualifies as an obsession and not a hobby, so downgrading it from obsession to casual hobby is definitely a goal for next year.
What about you girls? Any big accomplishments on your goals for this year?

I achieved my goal of using every kit I bought (before I bought another one). Which also helped me cut down on how much I spent on kits this year.
We were able to put more money into our savings then we thought we could.
We also were able to achieve our goal of paying off some of our debt.

I did accomplish my main goal this past year which was to finish the coursework for my Master's degree. I received that in June.
As for scrapping, since I was working on the goal above, I didn't really get back into scrapping until October. But, my main goal there was to hone my shadowing skills and I think I accomplished that.
My last goal was to lose 60 lbs by the end of the year. I started WW on May 20, and to date, I've lost 68 lbs. So, that goal seems to be met unless I make a big mistake between now and the 31.

One of my goals for 2010 was to attempt to fix some mistakes I'd made in my life, and I've managed to do that with a couple of things. My goal to lose weight didn't happen, so that's one I'm going to continue to work on over the next several months.
One goal I did meet was to scrap 365 pages in the year. As of right now I've completed 403 layouts, so I kinda knocked that one out of the park.

I've accomplished a few...I took my son to Disneyland and took a cake decorating class I've been talking about for years (and I still can't decorate a cake but I did it). I know I didn't lose the weight I wanted too but it will remain on the list until it's accomplished...

No, I haven't. And what's worse, some of those goals were the ones from the year before.

well I acheived a few of them that I can remember...
1. buy a house!! {our very 1st} BEFORE I retired!
2. RETIRE!!! {will officially happen 27 Dec, even though I already had my cerremony}
3. start and finish P365!!!! {I am only 1 weekly LO behind, week 25....}
I would LOVE to loose weight, but I did not make that my goal since it was not at the top of my list!

I don't really make goals much. That seems weird suddenly. But I think 2010 was a wonderful year. Jennifer I have been thinking about you lots and I am thrilled that you are feeling better in time for Christmas. Eat tons of cookies sweetie.

My goal was to lose about 20lbs, instead I've gained about 60lbs with good excuse, though I wish I only gained about 30lbs... I didn't read through the bible in a year like I wanted to. I also didn't run a 10K in memory of a friend who's goal was to run a 10k in 2010... this is the one I'm really bummed about because I really wanted to do it but due to my miscarriage history I had to stop running... although, I am so excited about this little miracle growing inside me, I really wish I could have done the run.

I got a few marked off!
1. Lose 20 lbs (actually lost 30!)
2. Run a 5K
3. Read at least 24 books
4. Big one...just had to do with fixing some life stuff that needed to be changed.
Missed a few, too.
1. Cut my hair off (too chicken)
2. Really look into homeschooling for Miss C (Ry is fine in public school).
3. Get organized w/ computer stuff...no more stickies. (TOTAL fail.)
Can't wait to make some 2011 goals! Time sure flies!
