Gotta get goals! I have been tagged. You are it!!!

Kellementology tagged me. Alex Shalman started this meme.

Gees. I love games. And I hate to lose. Ask my kids. Even Monopoly. I love collecting all those properties. And I love chess. And I remember playing tag in the summer with my brothers. Except now I’d probably wouldn't get too far because I’m an old fart. But the truth is I race my kids because I hate to lose and I'm a kid at heart.

I remember this woman telling me when I was about 26 years old,

“One day you will look in the mirror and see this 60 year old woman looking back at you and you won’t know who she is because on the inside is an 18 year old.”

I haven't forgotten that woman. Course she was pretty funny. She is one of my best friends mother- in-law. Here’s our first encounter,

“Your name is Ava Stradecker”

“Ah, no its not.”

“Yes it is”

“Ah, no, no…that is not my name.”

“YES IT IS.”

“Ah nope, I think I should know my name. And AVA STRADECKER is not my name.”

“SUE, COME OVER HERE…ISN’T HER NAME AVA STRADECKER?”

“NO MRS. CREEPY, THAT’S NOT HER NAME.”

“YES IT IS.”

"Mrs. Creepy. This is my friend Ev Nucci. Her name is not Ava Stradecker."

"Are you sure Sue?"

Now how funny is she?

Ok, So what are my goals?

1. Keep writing. I have been writing my entire life and have a degree in journalism. I won the Sigma Delta Chi Mark of Excellence in Telelvision Journalism for a documentary I did in college (987 years ago) and even did an internship with the BBC (865 years ago). But I went into business (675 years ago) to make a real living and my writing went into the computer where books piled up and sat. The perfectionist became a closet writer and feared anyone reading her. Captain Jack Sparrow and Sam Horn rescued me from my self-imposed bondage.
2. Timer set for all activities. When timer goes off activity is over. No exceptions. Pathetic perfectionist has to move on with her life or she will never get over herself. I am my own worst enemy and am unmerciful with myself. It is a horrid curse.
3. Submit two of the fifty books to some agent that doesn’t piss me off. If he doesn’t get me that his problem.
4. Get the health down so my friends stop bugging me. Got a little issue here we need to take care.
5. Start meditating so I can find some peace with the whole perfectionist thing
6. Keep putting myself out there…just as I am. For all the right reasons. Publish study completed two years ago.
7. Stop being a workaholic and give myself some balance in life, which would be a novel thing for my family. They might get to laugh with me instead of at me! Donatello might stop laughing at the “photojournalism thing”
8. Learn photography for real instead of by the seat of my pants. I can’t read directions so maybe somebody can read them to me. Right. Maybe someone can walk me through them. Not. OK. Some idiot can teach this idiot what to do.
9. Achieve my business plan this year. That's the mime map we discussed in an earlier post. Which means 15 clients are receiving something out of this world...you'll get pictures of it here...it's true brilliance! And I'm not going to beat myself up on this one.
10. Finish my freaking website (pathetic perfectionist strikes again!)
    

So now who do I tag? People that I have admired and have become my friends. And guess what? I don’t care if you already got tagged in this thing. I’m tagging you anyway.
