So how did I do?

So I thought it would be fun to go back to 2008 and look at my to do list and see how I did....Here' s the list I drafted on December 23 last year..

Go to Foxborough Stadium...that will stay on THE LIST.
Well, I actually DID go to Foxborough Stadium-Gillete Field...but it was during the off season..does that count? I think it does...we drove into the parking lot on our way back from NJ last spring, and saw Patriot Place almost built...we were the only ones there..kinda cool; we buzzed around the parking lot..I was super impressed and vowed to come back to actually see the Pats play. Maybe next year....

Join the Wine of the Month Club
Nope, didn't do that..does drinking wine throughout the month count? I did manage to ship myself some fantastic wine from Temeculah in June when we went out to San Diego for the USGA Open. Still have a couple bottles left....apparently, there are some very strict rules about shipping alcohol to NH.....who knew?

Go to Foxwoods to play golf
Nope..but I did get to Mohegan Sun..just to compare...don't go on a weekend!! What a zoo!! I think I prefer Foxwoods..now I want to go the new MGM Grand Hotel. Maybe someday soon....

Break 100 .
I tried too soon..before I was in condition...hence, I injured myself and continued to play. I am now in therapy and plan to be back better than ever.
Buy a Macbook Pro
Changed my mind and got a new Dell XPS instead. I still drool over the Macbook Pro..but I am happy with my XPS.
redecorate my Library (is that what I am calling it now?)
I bought the paint!! This winter....I promise...
photograph more....
Yay!! I DID this...not consistently, but overall, a definite improvement.
digitize analogue tapes
I now have a friend with a DVR...so this will get done! We did one..it's the infamous 1 year old Cole in a snowsuit falling on his head. Ouch!
digitize family photos
I have a stack..and I re-loaded my HP software so I can now scan. Evidently Vista uninstalls this software randomly some time after it is installed..but once that mystery was solved..we had scanning!!!
introduce TED !!
I have a wiki..does that count? And a website...and an LLC license...and a graphic artist to design a logo and business cards....baby steps
party more !!
Yes....although when you really didn't party much at all, anything is more..this should say, enjoy life more!!
complain less !!
Yes!! But you would have to ask the people who know me and love me....maybe it's the new job???

So there you have it..lots of things still on the list..lots of goals, lots of plans. 2009 promises to be fun, exciting, and challenging. One thing is for sure, I am grateful for my health and my ability to get up every day and face life's big and little challenges; I am grateful for my family and friends; and I will try to live each day with a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

Happy New Year everyone!!!
