It's ok...

To change goals.  Or not like everything.

A life lesson learned from the 101 list.

More specific examples: 
I have a goal to read a book a month -- and I'll be way over that.  I read a lot - I get the ideas from magazine reviews or I don't know even where.  Our library (I included the link so that you can see how awesomely old school the website I'm talking about is) has a nice feature where you go online, click your book, get on the wait list, then when it's in, you get an email - by then, it's either a fun surprise or I've completely forgotten why I chose it in the first place!  (A frequent conversation leaving the library:  Nick -- "What's that about?" C -- "Oh, some random period piece about sisters, chefs, and sorcerers in Texas/a non-fiction piece exploring decision making in modern humans."  Nick -- "What??"  C -- "Yeah, don't know.")

This show is so awesome-- that's why it takes 1000s of pages to describe everything!!

Anyway, I've signed up for a lot of books & I'm trying to get through the Song of Ice & Fire series (Love the show, does anyone else watch it??) -- and you know what?  Some times, I just don't like the book.  And then... I don't finish it!  It's part of my clean-plate-club mentality, that if you start something -- you finish it!  But (life lesson alert) I don't like everything.  Including some books whose blurbs sounded good, but are actually boring.  So,  The Casual Vacancy & Gods and Beasts -- I don't like you.  And you're both British contemporary fiction, so maybe there's a clue.

Next.

Ours is kinda like this -- but dirtier.

When we moved to Sonoma, I was SO INSISTENT that we get a patio set for our back patio.  We were on a HUNT for one and got it and..... it gathers dust.  Well, dirt more than dust because it's outside.  So I put as #15 - eat dinner outside once a month.  And guess what?  We don't like it.  We don't like to eat outside.  At restaurants on perfect days, sure.  At home, with the dirt and the Lucer & a lack of tv -- nope.  So, to #15 -- I ax you off.  And feel only minimally guilty about it.

Anybody agree with my life lessons??
