Inspired by Jessica Claire’s list of 101 things to do in the next 1001 days, I’ve created my own list of 28 things to do in 2008. Some are silly, most for myself and lots for the business. Perhaps I will inspire you to help me with #24, and you will share a few of your goals and/or resolution. Happy New Year and come back for tomorrow…I’m taking a stab at #11.

1. finish the office in our home, hanging all of the prints and making it cozy
2. sleep less…there is so much more to do than catch more shut-eye than I really need
3. grow flowers again this summer
4. make weekends my time….except for weddings
5. order stickers for Lizzie Loo…something I’ve wanted to do for a while, it transfers from one to-do list to the next
6. file all paperwork as it comes in, no more stacking it because school is too crazy
7. overhaul the website, and update the images after each shoot
8. take a road trip..just because…with the girls, with Bob, by myself..whatever
9. stay in the Wigwam Hotel in Cave City
10. read 12 books for my business…all in december or one per month; just read ‘em
11. blog everyday for a year, or for a month straight
12. cook dinner once a week for other people, for a month
13. have lunch with someone business related that I don’t know once a month
14. write more notes: birthdays, thank you’s, thinking of you, etc…and mail them on time
15. visit the super-long yardsale that runs throught the South
16. visit a new state and Cousin Julie in Columbus
17. mentor a younger, girl photographer…or lots of mom photographers
18. add a new camera to the artillary, preferable the D3, but a D300 will work
19. make cake decorating class with sister, Abby…and pursue being the most versitile wedding photographer…”Hello, I’m Elizabeth. I can not only make you look great, but I can help you select the perfect wedding ring, the best photographer and construct your cake. In my younger days, I could even design your invitiations.”
20. no more fast food: Panera, Starkbucks and Chic-fil-a are ok, but McDonalds, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Rally’s etc. are not
21. photograph a wedding with someone whom I REALLY admire; preferable someone whose blog I subscribe to…(bobbiandmike.com, melaniemauer.com, jessicarstrickland.com, the list goes on and on)
22. celebrate my 21st with class…I’m not really sure what that entails, but I’m open to suggestions
23. send more time with my clients, getting to know them and forming relationships, and much less being a service they just use
24. get my readers to comment more, doesn’t matter how I get it done
25. actually complete the books for book club (yes, I’m reeealll nerdy!)
26. attend a wedding as a guest
27. make new headers for the blog
28. Bob takes me to the Grand Ole Opry
