New Year Resolutions?

I didn't make any this year. Honestly, I don't think I've ever made New Year's resolutions. But I am making changes! I'm enrolling in online classes to get a second degree - in accounting. I don't like dealing with my checkbook, but I like numbers, and I need to make myself more marketable for this part of the country in case my temporary assignment at work really is temporary

I'm also studying for certification in the field I'm currently working (scheduling). Haven't been able to convince my boss the certification is necessary to make me a better employee (after all, I'm a TEMPORARY scheduler), so it means doing it on my own (book study) instead of attending expensive classes the company would pay for. But I love the work I'm doing and should be able to do contract scheduling from home or with limited travel if I have the proper credentials.

Did I mention I'm 50? Some days I think I'm crazy to be training for a new career at this point in my life (and spending money on classes instead of yarn). Other days I'm so excited to be in learning mode again that I'm sure it's absolutely the best thing I could be doing at this point in my life.

You know, I just found an old blog site I used and forgot about, and it doesn't have that annoying ad at the top of the page. I think I'm moving back over there. I did move back over "there", which is here :-)

What have you resolved for 2008?
