Off to Portland and Seattle

I will be arriving in Portland tomorrow evening. I can't wait!! I get to see old friends, hang out downtown, and check out all the new yarn stores. Two stores that are definitely on my list are Yarn Garden and Knit Purl. I LOVE Yarn Garden from when I lived there, but I have ordered from Knit Purl online, so I can't wait to actually go visit the store in person. I know there are more stores, but those are the MUST SEE.

I also need to hit my favorite Indian restaurants and my favorite Ethiopian restaurant also. I have no idea what else is planned besides visiting with friends. Maybe a trip to the Fluevog store.

Goals for 2010

1. drop 10% of my body weight in the first 6 months. That's a very reasonable goal and would put me below my first major milestone.

2. knit mainly from stash - cut way back on yarn acquisition

3. maintain at least an A- average during Spring, Summer, and Fall terms

4. decluter as much as possible

5. exercise daily - even if it's only 20 min "playing games" on the Wii Fit. I'm hoping to work up to Wii Active.

6. learn to feel and trust

That's a reasonable list. I think I'll go with that for now.
