My 2007 plans! it never hurts to be ambitious!

2006 was big to me… so many changes happened in my life I can hardly comprehend them all… I will tell you people some of these!

1- I had a baby: Natalie is 10 months old now! She is speaking her first words… makes me crazy when she says mama!


2- I started a "new" job: this job is really great... very few places in Amman are like that… Working for Grumpy Gourmet has made me trust Jordan work environment back again!
3- I started a blog: Thanks to Isam… I wish I had more time to write… yet through blogging, I met so many nice people…
4- I celebrated my 3rd anniversary: I never could be happier!
5- We redecorated the garden: you now, one of these things that keep plaguing your mind but you keep postponing… but one you do them, the satisfaction is awesome!

So 2007 I hope has a lot of potential… my plans are:

1- Send Abboudeh to KG: Abboudeh is 2 now.. it is time that I let go of him :(
2- Do more blogging and more reading both on the Internet and my book shelves… makes me very sad to see all those great books unread yet!
3- Write more investigative stories: I always feel that there are a lot of untapped areas that I haven’t written about… I feel a great urge to investigate more!
4- Start my own "small" business: one has to do more in this country… the potential is great! More to come!
5- Lose 5 kilos: seems impossible in winter…
6- Visit more family and do more family socializing: never wanted that and never liked it… but getting married and having children made me suddenly a significant person in my and my husband's extended families… everyone seems upset I haven’t congratulated them for getting married, having newborns, graduating, going to Umra and Hajj.. etc… can anybody do that and have some time for himself?! I doubt it…
7- Write a book: I don’t know about what…
8- Learn French, Spanish, German….
9- Learn more html: as if I know any
10- Have "my own" blog: I feel very jealous of
moey!


Seems very ambitious right… how much you think dear people can I do out of that?

Happy 2007!

Sounds good ... keep up the ambitions in high gear and things WILL get better insha2allah

I wish you manage to succeed in all your plans. Time is always short and it has to be created. I can advise you of a good KG for abboudeh it is called "city activity" beghind Berger King's Haramen branch. I put my daughter there for 2 yaers and they are very clean and carful.
