A review of the 2009 Goals I set Myself

By Life, ThinkingNo Comments

A year ago I wrote myself a list of goals for the year (see Goals for 2009). Some I’ve completed, even exceeded were as some haven’t been met. So let’s have a look shall we?

Health – To Improve my blood sugar control, eat better & be generally healthy.

Well I had a prolonged period of ill health June / July time. I had to see a consultant it was that bad. So I didn’t achieve the “to be generally healthy” goal in 2009.

Financial – To pay off debts (one from last year I didn’t actually manage to do).

Nah not managed to do this either. Probably because I bought an apartment (see The Move

Home – To put together a dream home book and start working towards it.

Actually superseded this one by buying my apartment.

Adventures – To go to Italy for two weeks and explore the culture, places and people that inhabit this land.

Didn’t manage this one. David and I had planned to do this but we couldn’t agree on where in Italy to go. We ultimately decided not to go.

Creative – To do some more candle making (see A Visit to Simon’s) and some creative writing.

Didn’t manage to as much creative stuff as I would of liked, but I did do some.

Be There – To continue to be there for family & friends who I am very lucky to have

Hopefully I achieved this one, guess only they could Judge?

A Magickal Grand Plan
I also completed a A Magickal Grand Plan. So how does this fit in to my yearly goal setting? We the Magickal Grand Plan is like a overall plan of what I want to achieve and the yearly goal setting helps me to get there.

Coming soon, my goals for 2010. 🙂

An evening of romance

By Love & Relationships2 Comments

A lovely evening of romance was had with JB. Earlier in the afternoon we had gone watching Avatar, bless him I think he only went watching it because I really wanted to see it. It was ace, but I’ll hopefully blog a review another time (if I get chance!).

As JB pottered around the kitchen while I got to enjoy the wine he’d brought. He’d brought wine, all the food and Christmas presents for me all in a big brown box that he had to keep me away from. It was like a game of cat and mouse at one point as I tried to discover what was actually in the box. Then he turned to me and said: “I need you to go in the bathroom.”
“But I don’t need to go.” I responded.
“Just trust me and go and wait in there for 2 minutes.” He said eyes widening as if to say – just go with it.

After a few minutes I am realised from the bathroom to find a lighted candle, two places set on the breakfast bar and some crackers. He encouraged me to pull one, so I did. Inside the usual golden hat, bad joke and then rather unusally a slip of paper. JB reveals that my presents are hidden throughout the apartment and that each cracker contains a clue to where they are.

An evening of eating good food, present hunting, drinking wine and good company followed. We talked about all sorts. Although the evening got to a point were I was ready for bed (let’s just say I hadn’t realised how strong the wine was) and he went to bed in the guest room. Now that is impressive for a gay man to be happy to go to all that effort and not try it on.

I know what your thinking Spoilt and your right. But in my defence, I did do the cleaning afterwards.

Write soon,

Antony
