OM List [updates as of 08]

Sooo, I started my list OM List in Sept, kicked up my enthusiasm in October and vowed to be well on my way come 2008. New Year's resolution take some planning you now, gone are the days of conjuring resolutions in the drunken few minutes after the countdown.

- I have not yet joined a book club
- I work on the treadmill a few times a week. I also practice yoga in the spare room and have invested in a purple pretty LuLu Lemon mat to inspire me. Yoga accompanied by meditation as been my love for a few months now. I also just received the DVD Leg Work, which promises I'll be able to walk so beautifully in heels in 3 weeks (and have killer legs).
- I quit the green after 6-7 years of daily toking!
- I quit smoking cigarettes since Christmas Day!
- Everyday I ponder what to do with my career direction (passion 1 vs. passion 2 vs. passion 3 vs. making money vs. don't want to go back to school)
- Don't want the Pearl! I've got the Shine in Thailand (it's gold!)
- Being a vegetarian for more than half of my life has resulted in the fact that I've never cooked meat in my life. I took my boyfriend to a luxurious hotel with a kitchen and attempted to pleasure his meat loving tastebuds. I had to put so much hot sauce on the chicken because it didn't have any flavour! I cooked it with basil, garlic and a little bit of oil.. what happened? I haven't tried to make it since then... But damnit hot do I get the flavour in there?
- i have been saving my money kind of, like a good girl. I will attempt to triple my savings account in 1 years time. Keep in mind, I haven't yet started investing but perhaps may. All I have right now is a 4% savings account.
- Still thinking about a less expensive car (with payment and gas included) Still commuting like a bloody chicken!

The Original List as of Sept.

- i'd still love to join a book club
- i've been pretty good about the treadmill.. sporadically everyday. i'd like to get a bit more into it. but need more discipline. these days i've been enjoying the green too early in the day and it kills my plan! btw, get a treadmill with a tv. it will keep you glued.
-musical taste has been update... or at least my Creative Zen... (Eisley, Bloc Party, Carla Bruni, new Korn... Juliette, lady, you are crazy!
- wow, i've done nothing to even get getting a new job within the realm of my passion.
- Blackberry Pearl... i will get once i make the mark for upgrade!
- my boyfriend and i are going away soon... to a remote lodge.. love shack baby!
- yesterday i decided i'd learn to make 1 new recipe every week. i love chatelaine.com and realsimple.com 's online approach to recipe books of the techie era!
- i commute like a bloody chicken : ) to keep or not to keep??? (the SUV that is...) anyways.. this has got me to adding a new goodie to my very own OM list..
-SAVE MY MONEY! i haven't spent a dollar in 3 days! The past week, I have been good... but only because I am a Shoppers loser, and i stock up during 20x the points days... also cuz i did my fabulous shopping spree for career wear shirts + low pointy toe stilettos for work & dark purple patent flats.
