Goals for 2009
⊆ February 26th, 2009 by Administrator | ˜ 1 Comment »I decided to do a 2008 recap on my living in Germany 1 year anniversary. The holidays and trip to Brussels stories will come later as well. Right now, let me present my goals for 2009:
Feb - have everything done to the Apartment. We are like 97% there.
Mar - have a St. Patty’s Party (in planning phase), attend the Frankfurt Tattoo Convention and at the same time apply to receive my new US passport (in Frankfurt).
(St. Patty”s party complete, but did not make it to Frankfurt. Trip for Passport postponed to May).
Apr - I need glasses man. Gotta see the eye doctor. Take steps towards getting my German driver license + file my German taxes.
(Eye appt made 30-Apr)
Before June - have my German driver license and apply/start volunteering at a local animal shelter
June - go back to Brussels and take Guido to show him around + take a trip to Vienna, Austria.
July/August - travel back up to N. Germany either for my brother’s 10 year death anniversary (July) or for his birthday (August), to visit his grave. Complete this online photo album before his death date, as much as I can: www.myspace.com/photos_of_joe
August/Sept - try to fly to the US with Guido: attend a Red Sox game with friends, but spend most of the time in Florida
Before the end of the year:
Travel to Poland to visit Ben and to Prague to visit Susie (again) and/or have them visit us. Have my mom visit from the US, and hopefully a FRIEND OR SO. WTF people, get your damn passports and save a little, damn!!
I think that is enough traveling, becuase I know my work is going to throw a few dooseys into the mix. I also think this is do-able and a nice balance between tending to responsibilities and having fun.
Oh and my mom, she just had her 2nd post breast cancer reconstructive surgery. She is happy with the results and is doing well (smiley face).
