Let's review the 2010 game plan

I was just rereading my game plan for 2010, and boy did I fail!

Let's review the plan:

1.The year of the DIY house. Boy wonder and I will be tackling many house projects this year including: renovating our laundry/utility room, planting and maintaining a garden, getting to decorate our bedroom and living room/dining room. Yes, I plan to blog all the gory details.

Ummm ya. From this list we did 25% of the garden, and 75% of our bedroom. That. is. it. One thing I did discover is my lack of interest to decorate. I thought maybe I'd get the bug, but that did not happen. I'm OK with that though. Means spending less right?

2. Find a creative way to make income. I need to make sure I work enough hours walking dogs to be able to claim EI. You know, for that one day when I hopefully need it. However, walking dogs isn't enough money to pay the mortgage, bills and save/invest. So, in addition to teaching dance and yoga, I need to find another way to bring in some additional cash flow without overwhelming myself. 

Well, this also did not happen. I actually found less ways to make money since closing down my party planning biz. However, I am on fulltime at the dog daycare so really, with the dance/yoga money, I have enough to pay my bills, save and invest without any debt (aside from the mortgage).

3. Greenify our ways of living. I still want to get a rain barrel, and actually use our compost effectively. Hubby wants to start growing our own vegetables as well. In addition to doing our part of live in a healthy/green way, it will help us with saving cash-o-la which we desperately need. 

Well, rockstar did plant his garden, but only harvested once. Yes, lot of veggies went bad in our back yard. OK, so we sucked at this. The End.

4. Get involved with the community. Our community holds a monthly meeting which I have yet to attend. Starting this upcoming Tuesday, I will start attending the meetings. If hubby and I plan to stay here long term, I want to be in the know of what's going in the hood. 

You'll be shocked to learn that I have still yet to go to a single meeting.  I want to, but it never was a priority. Perhaps with our new mayor in place, now is the perfect time to get involved.

I haven't started thinking about my 2011 game plan, but based on this year's results, I need to choose tasks that I'm actually interested in accomplishing.

What about you? Did you nail all the 2010 milestones you wanted to achieve?
