Well, it's a relief to know that I can blog in *my* native Indic language. Since I don't know the traditional Indic language spoken by, well, Indic people, I can't blog in that.

Goals update: January

Most of my updates should come the end of the month, but here's this one:

Goals for 2008

No one reads this blog, for good reason (for my real blog, to my link to my livejournal), so I'm going to use it for my personal stuff. This way, it's online, reminding me of what I'm trying to do, and easy to access.

Call 'em new year's resolutions. Call 'em goals. Whatever they are, this what I hope to accomplish in 2008.

Financial
1. Add $6,000 in contributions to my 401(k) plan
2. End the year with $15,000 in long-term savings
3. Earn $500 in passive income--between interest and other legal money sources
4. Keep a budget--keeping track of what I spend
5. Start a blog specifically for this and update regularly

Personal
1. Lose 25 pounds (it's not a lot, but a reasonable start)
2. Devote more time to reading
3. Spend more time studying (different from the above)
4. Get proper sleep
5. Keep things neat

Projects
1. 10 Projects for 2008 as seen on my other blog: http://techinept.livejournal.com/286797.html
2. 4 Mini-projects for 2008, as seen on the same page
3. Do the quilt club Block of the Month whenever reasonable (i.e., if I own the fabric)
4. Back-up photos in iPhoto. Get 2005 deleted from laptop hard drive
5. Write more:

• 2 letters/month
• http://victoriatimes.blogspot.com/ weekly
• http://hereforthesass.blogspot.com/ weekdays during season
• blog at least 20 times per month at livejournal account

By the way...

I only created this blog so I could post elsewhere. For those wondering why I'm not writing here, it's simply this:

My real blog is here.

This is Beth

Finally, a blog that was free. Because, wow. This was hard to just pick a user name. All creativity is sapped.
