2018.

every year, i make a list of goals to accomplish in the new year. every year, i may only accomplish half (?) of them. this year will be different. no, seriously. i've compiled a short list of attainable goals. Like, last year my motto was "debt free in 2017." Doable but also unrealistic because i still had my "spender" moments. so, while being debt free is definitely still my goal, i'm about to take on a huge amount of debt (mortgage). i need to take care of the small stuff and build my savings up (i just have this feeling my washer/dryer are going to konk out on me not long after i move into the house :/), before going after Snowball #3 and what will be Snowball #4 (mortgage). if i stay focused -- this list is totally doable and will set the stage for 2018 to wind up being a fabulous year!

1. QUIT once and for all.
2. SNOWBALL #1 (Chase): Close account by June 2018
3. SNOWBALL #2 (LLC): Pay off balance ($700) by June & close account by December 2018
4. STUDY my ass off & pass my exam in May
5. TEETH: Strengthen & whiten my teeth (& hopefully wow my dentist!)
6. FIT: Be as fit at 35 as i was at 33, if not more so!
   - Cut out HFCS soda
   - Gym it up 5-7 days/week
   - Get better sleep consistently (7 hours minimum)
7. PURGE! Use the move as motivation to get rid of a lot of STUFF!
   - Clothes/Jewelry
   - Craft supplies
   - Junk
8. HOUSE GOALS
   - Buy a new, bigger mattress [i've been sleeping on a full-size bed since i was 11. i'm almost 6 feet tall. i'm aiming for a California King. :)] - by June 2018
   - Buy a new, bigger sofa/sectional by December 2018
   - Paint/wallpaper
   - Move kitchen pendants
   - Add rugs/decor
   - Remove wall in master bath (this will happen, i'm just not sure it will happen in 2018)
9. FAITH: Though it be last on the list, it is not in priority. I need to go to church more regularly and everything that's associated with someone who knows Jesus.
