Dream on, sister

Updated to add: Time to change #5--look at my shiny pretty new design! Thank you, Karen!

Kelly tagged me with the "c'mon, admit it" meme, otherwise known as the "5 goals you're totally blowing off" meme. Since I wouldn't want ignore Kelly (if you're not reading her, please start; this post is the one that won me over forever) the way I've ignored the following, here goes:

1. The body. As I explained here, this was an actual New Year's Resolution that's been utterly untouched. I have used the bike trailer a few times, but the weather's still iffy and sometimes I have extra errands to run and I have this freelance project that's keeping me up late at night and...

2. The memories. I have not printed out photos and slotted them into albums since Jo was 9 months old. The task just keeps getting more overwhelming and therefore less likely to actually be done. I have repeatedly told my siblings (who are always looking for inexpensive gift ideas) that the best present they could possibly give me would be to take my CDs, print out the pictures and shove them in an album. I'll even provide the frigging album. So far, nada.

3. The house. The closets are overstuffed with clothes that need to be sorted/donated/burned. The office shelves overflow with old magazines that should be either recycled or donated to the child care center for art projects. Toys have reproduced and taken up residence in every single room in this house and that does include the guest room, master bedroom, dining room, and each bathroom.

4. The future. Poor Opie. No college fund. Not even because of lack of funds (see "freelance job," above). Sheer inertia, this one.

5. The blog. It would be nice if all my posts had labels. And it would be nice if I went back and cross-posted all my old Blog Exchange posts here. And printed my archives regularly (or ever) to protect against Total Internet Meltdown. And if I ventured beyond the basic Blogger template. And had my own domain.

Anyone else want to 'fess up?
