*~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

So with just over two weeks left of 2010 and with (almost) all of the 2010 weddings done with...

BESIDES 'Saving for a house/Paying off debt' (because I know almost ALL of us are doing that...)

What are you planning to spend your time and energy on in 2011? What are your plans/resolutions for the new year now that you don't have to worry about wedding details?



I plan to go back to reading more books. I kept using my insane amount of wedding-related internet time as a stupid excuse for why I haven't finished a book (not ONE) in 2010.

I have two going right now and have a stack of stuff I want to read. I want to join a softball team this summer and go on a couple of road trips.

Also, work on getting back into a proper exercise routine so that I can be in tip top shape for TTC this summer.

The whole prepping to TTC thing I'm sure will become a huge obsession for me. All the charting stuff you can be doing - I can't resist it.

I plan to finalize my master’s degree by Feb/March. I am one class/3 credits away and I should be done by now but I put school last to wedding planning and a new job. It’s really weighing on my shoulders because I have being going to school at night for over 3 years now and I just want to make it official so that all of my hard work pays off.

While we don’t have a set TTC timeline/gameplan I want to take “taking care of myself” to a new and higher level. I work out regularly and I generally eat healthy but I really want to focus on being super healthy and fit. I also thinks it’s time to ask my GYN for an OB reco and perhaps some RX prenatal vitamins! Whoa!

Like many couples we are on a tight budget saving for a house so I don’t foresee any vacays for us in 2011. Perhaps a long weekend or two and definitely something along those lines for our anniversary but nothing like an actually vacation. So I want to focus on us having fun and doing great things so that we’re not solely focusing on pinching pennies.

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

I used to love to read but just didnt have the time. Im hoping to get back into that too.

I want to focus on writing a kick a$$ resume for a new job. I work with my dad now and this job ends in december 2011 but i have made alot of contacts and they said i should be working on it now

Also hoping to TTC in the spring

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

We already have our house, we aren't going to be TTC. Focus on getting a FT job and keep living our lives

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

2011 I hope is a GREAT year for DH and I. The planning really took a toll on us and then for his taking that test right after the wedding was a lot for us to take in. Besides saving for a house, I'd like to revisit my schooling options to get my degree. I'm also going to Italy in July so that's a GREAT goal.

I want to quit smoking sometime next year too. We aren't TTC just yet or anywhere too close but I don't want to find out I'm prego and then quit!

I'm SO ready for 2011 but said our year is almost over girls!

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

We are going to contine to work on both houses. We need a new roof, bathroom and sidewalk in Bayside. And we are going to get new furniture and siding on the house in Greenport.

Oh and we are also going to get a puppy in the spring.

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

Make a final decision on my work situation. I really want to find that job that makes me 100% happy.

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

2011 is vacation time for us and HOPEFULLY being able to spend more time with friends. i feel like i havent seen some of my good friends in a while

also plan on planning a party next fall for DH's dirty thirty

would like to get in a gym routine, go to church, and hopefully (in the spring time) do some volunteering with DH

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

LIVE OUR LIVES!!!

We are probably going to start TTC in the summer. So Becki, you and I will have lots of d/c talk. But I don't plan on charting, OPK-ing, or anything like that. I basically just want to have some fcking fun!! Let nature take its course..

We are going to be penny pinching so that I can work part-time when I'm a mommy.

Other than that, maybe a vaca.. somewhere cheap. Friends of ours are supposed to be getting married in July, in Jamaica. But nothing is planned, or even looked into.

My car lease is up in April. So we'll be car shopping yet again..

I think that's it!

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

Definitely want to get back in the gym and keep trying new baking recipes. I'm having a blast baking lately!

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

We plan on saving our money for a house.
and I feel like I never have free time, I am always working

We want to take a trip for our 1year anniversary. . . not sure where yet.. . . .

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

I plan on becoming a faster and stronger runner. My goal is to run the Long Island Half Marathon in under 2 hours (my last half was 2:07 so essentially I need to cut off 8 minutes of my time).
I also want to decrease my 5k time.
I plan on training hard this winter: speedwork and strength training. In the process I'd love to lose some inches while still maintaining my weight.

Ultimately I'd like to be prepared to run a full marathon. Maybe I'll be able to do that by the end of 2011!

As far as DH and I go, we'll continue saving money and most likely starting TTC in Sept/Oct of next year.

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

I want to continue to grow professionally
Buy an elliptical machine so I can work out at home in the cold months
Go on a nice vacation for our 1 year
Continue buying furniture for our townhouse and decorating it
Enjoying time with DH
Saving $$ for our first home.

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

get back in shape (if not preggs), stay healthy, go on a trip for our anni, start building our savings back up.

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

Definitely start reading again as voraciously as I used to (which is kind of coming back...I finished off 2.5 books yesterday :-O)

Get back in shape...I gained probably 15-20lbs since the wedding

Get a job! Now that I'm on hiatus from school I need to pull my weight!

Buy a house, move in, get settled and maaaybe start TTC late next fall

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

getting back in my pre pregnancy jeans

Re: *~*~*NWQOTD 12/14*~*~*

getting more fit/healthy again. I've been slacking too much and need to prepare my body for a baby when that happens...which hopefully will be sometime in 2011...probably later on as hubby wants to get money and career stuff in order first.


new career maybe? definitely need a new job for me and Dino.

and the big one which you said not to say but saving for a house and hopefully by summer or fall buying a house!
