Realistic Goals
The more realistic your goals are, the more likely you are to achieve them.
(This comic strip was previously published on June 21, 2010.)
Our good friend Red from the M3 blog recently took her adopted Wombies Claret and Bruno with her on her trip to Minnestoa. To say they enjoyed the trip would be an understatement. You can read all about their trip and their visit to the SPAM museum on Red’s Wombie Heaven in Minnesota post on her blog.
I came by to link your website to my blog and this made me almost laugh out loud!! hehehe. Love the reminder that our goals really should be more realistic..and napping with chocolates…even if it’s together..is totally an awesome goal!!
Sometimes a realistic goal is much more satisfying than an unachievable one. Thanks for the link, Shree. I’ve added your link to mine, too, though I had thought I had already done that.
You’re welcome! and thank you too 🙂
He’s a clever one…uhmm…Fraz…ahem…did I get his name right??
Ooops…that should have said Winky…sorry !!!
Yeah, I’m Winky. Fraz is the little spotty one.
And always up to something! 😉 🙂
Who, me?
Yes 🙂
No!
Yes you are Frazzy but we still give you all our chocolate treats 🙂 Yaaaaaay
I dunno. But I like the treats part of it!
Me too 🙂
Everyone likes treats!
Hi Shree hope you are having chocolate on rye this evening, a lot later this evening maybe? 🙂 Have fun…
You may say, I’m a dreamer …
.. but I’m not only one to wish for chocolate and naps.
That’s for sure! Everyone should wish for more chocolate and naps!
I wish for another large shipment of chocolate for my Wombie. I’m almost out!
I’ll send a semi loaded with chocolate to you right away!
I got it already, Winky!…thank you! 🙂 🙂
You must have sent is express because it was outside waiting for me this morning.:):)
Good thing I founds it before Dink, Chewy and Shadow woke up too! 😯
I’ll get them to unloading it right away…with my supervision of course. 😉 🙂
I did send it express! I figured it was important! Yeah, you’d better make sure the chocolate is rationed out or else it’ll be gone before you know it!
Nice singing there Julian 🙂
I thought that sounded familiar.
Yes it was a big hit by Frankenstein’s Uncle Festus’ Auntie’s Cousin’s Nephew I think? I could be wrong though 🙂 lol
That may be why I had some trouble recalling it.
🙂 lol
I like this strip. It makes a very good point. 🙂
That chocolate is the most important thing in the world!
I agree let’s have a chocolate
party, everyone is invited 🙂
At my factory! I have a nice park out back! Everyone bring their appetites!
I always carry my appetite
with me around Wombania 🙂
I figured you would. I never leave my appetite behind, either!
Aim low my friend
I can reach low!
But you always come out on top! 🙂 🙂
Sometimes I don’t feel like I do!
Sometime you just got to see yourself as others do. 😉 🙂
I guess, But not as Binky sees me I hope!
Hi Bearman how’s it hanging? 🙂 lmao
If everyone took more naps and ate chocolate, there might be less suffering in the world due to better moods.

You’re right! Maybe I’m a lot smarter than I think!
Amen!
Me & Barry went to the moon & it was awesome Binky. You can achieve anything in comic-land Winky. Just dream bigger dreams.
I think I’ll dream of bigger chocolate and longer naps, then! Maybe even chocolate naps!
Hey Cedric come back with my cheese 🙂 lol
I think that’s like trying to get chocolate back from a Wombie!
I agree, like I have absolutely no chance of retrieving it 🙁 Grrrr I hope Cedric enjoyed his prize 🙂
I’m sure he did!
Fly to the moon, bring back moon cheese, sell moon cheese to Aid Agencies that they can feed to the world’s hungry then use the money to buy chocolate & a comfy pillow.
Then everybody’s happy!!!
That sounds like a workable plan. Moon cheese should be able to feed the world’s population for a considerable period of time.
Hi Tony 🙂 Hope you are having a fun evening and eating plenty of chocolate cake 🙂 I am eating a dry cracker and no cheese, erm Cedric took that earlier 🙁 Grrrr
That doesn’t sound very yummy. I send you over some of my best chocolates!
Thank you Winky I will save those in my fridge I don’t want them melting or being pinched by any passing chocolate thieves 🙂 lol
Maybe you could put them in a container labeled broccoli. That would keep them safe!
Yes or sprouts, as I am the only person around here that enjoys them 🙂 I love sprouts and broccoli 🙂
I know. I don’t hold that against you, though.
I share 50% of these goals
I hope it’s the good 50%! Well, they’re all good actually!
I’m with Winky on this one. Beside, I think that making more chocolate will make the world happy. And naps refresh us giving us better perspective on things….Rah, rah, rah…You Go Winky! 🙂
Making free chocolate in my chocolate factory is the best way I know to make people happy! It makes me happy, too!
It makes me happy too, Winky. All my adopted Wombies are super happy! 🙂
It’s hard not to be happy with chocolate! And love!
That’s couldn’t be more true, Winky.
Hey, It’s pretty hot today so I made a huge batch of milkshakes for my Wombies today and wanted to bring a couple of great big ones by for you and Fraz…Super large, super thick, and super chocolatey. I’ll leave the pitcher here too for anyone else that wants some….enjoy!
Oh boy! They won’t go to waste, that’s for sure! It’s super hot here, too! It’s 97 degrees out there!
Yeah, it’s really hot here again too!
I made and brought a big barrel of chocolate shake out of all the chocolate you had delivered to me this morning for you and the gang!…stay cool!
We needed that! It’s not quite as hot today, but we still need to cool off! And there’s no better way to do that than with cold chocolate!
Hellooooooooo Deb hope you are
enjoying your Wednesday so far 🙂 🙂 xxxx
Hmm, is someone practicing for Miss Universe?
You mean me? I don’t think so. Mr. Chocolate, maybe.
What? There is a Mr Chocolate competition? Why you sneaky wombat!!!!
I don’t know if there is a Mr. Chocolate, but there should be! And I should be him!
You would totally have it in the bag.
I don’t like to brag, but I’m pretty well qualified!
Hi Loon 😉 🙂 xxxx
Bwahahahahahaha. I like that way of thinking indeed. Doable and then some.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
A goal that you can eat is always the best kind!
I bet Winky meets his stretch goal, too.
I always try to exceed my chocolate goals!
oh I loved them all but who said Winky’s was not grand, that’s all I want too, Nap, chocolates, fun, nap, chocolates, fun, nap….being happy is the grandest of all goals
Who could want anything more than naps and chocolate? Everyone would be a lot happier with more chocolate and more naps!
I like this napping and chocolates idea Soma, perhaps you and me could try it out sometime? 🙂 Mmmmm xxxx
Everyone should try chocolate napping! It’s great!
Yes it should catch on really well Winky 🙂
It could be the the latest trend! And I started it!
Now that Ding Dongs and Twinkies are back I have had to readjust my life goals … and they all include a higher capacity scale for the bathroom! W.C.C.
That’s a goal I can identify with! I’m going to fill up my cart with Ding Dongs next time I go shopping!
Why aim for the moon when you can aim for the couch, and take a big nap!
Yeah, aiming for chocolate is a lot easier. And a lot more doable!
Some how I think I can identify (at least with the chocolate and naps)! 😉
I think it’s what most people really want!
Somebody has to keep it real. That is why I have set the simple goal of becoming the Emperor of the whole world.
I think you might have to fight Fraz for that! Though the world is probably big enough for both of you.
Hahaha…way to go Winky!!
Have you achieve it now?
I’m not quite there yet. But I’m working on it!
All you need is more free time…and you’ll get there Wink 😉
Yeah, you can never have enough nap time!
Hi Miss. Novia 🙂 xxxx
Hi Andro xoxo
Have you new post? Can’t open your blog at school
I will be posting something else soon Miss. Novia 🙂 Thank you for asking my sweet and great friend and do have a very nice weekend too 🙂
Here have some of my chocolates, for afterwards, I know that it is Ramadan at the moment so this will be a treat for you 🙂
Andro xxxx
Thank you Andro 🙂
I like your style Winky 🙂
I didn’t know I had any style!
Yes certainly, just look in the mirror and say Heeeeey Faaaangs Baby 🙂 It works for Count Dracula so it should be fine for you too Winky 🙂
It didn’t seem to do anything for me. I think I’ll just take a nap instead. Right after I finish this chocolate.
Yes well Vampires don’t usually have mirrors around but I figured that Dracula wouldn’t mind in your case, but seeing as it didn’t work anyway I suppose it doesn’t matter 🙁 Her have another chocolate to make up for it 🙂
Thanks Andro! More chocolate make up for just about anything!
I will bring extras on my next visit so get ready for those, they are of the extremely delicious type so just up your street I think? 🙂
It sounds like it! My street is paved with chocolate!
I agree Winky, more naps and more chocolate sounds good to me. As Deb says, ’twill make everyone a lot happier, an’ those who don’t like chocolate? well, what can I say? ‘cepting I’ll eat their share. 🙂 xPenx
Yeah, I think more naps and more chocolate would make the world a whole lot happier! It’s hard to believe some people don’t like chocolate, but I guess it’s true.
Hi ma Lady hope you are having
a chocolate filled evening 🙂 xxxx
Traveling is always fun. 🙂
Happy Sunday to you!
Even if it’s just to the chocolate store!
Brilliant Winky :p
And what about Fraz’s goal?
I wanna be president prime minister king!
Helloooooo Cha, great to
see you here 😉 🙂 xxxx
Goal: to get 3 people commenting at 8-Bit Nerds.
There is you, Nathaniel and that one guy from last year but he left :-/
Oh wait, you said realistic goals!
People are always leaving! I think many bloggers try to do it all and end up burning out. My comments have been down considerably the last few weeks. Hopefully just the summer slump.
Don’t worry Peter I have brought a troop of Vampires to the party, the only problem is that they sign their comments in blood, well fake blood actually but they do try to be authentic 🙂
I’ll take their comments as long as they promise not to start biting my guests.
No they have already been warned so everything should be vampytastic 🙂 🙂
🙂
Summer is the worst time to expect a lot of visitors or traffic.
On Dummies I use to post stuff about Club Penguin just to get hits. I would get something like 20,000 hits in a day because little European children were on school vacation. So sometimes the summertime does payoff, one just has to be a sellout to those Disney Penguins 😐
I have Club Wombania but no one visits!
I would think you could make some good money with Google ads with that many visits (I assume you mean page views and not really hits).
Nope, hits (visits). I was on wordpress.com back then and so I couldn’t make one cent off of the visits. I have no clue what the pageviews were back then.
I use to keep track of them on 8-Bit Nerds but I was getting disappointed that I didn’t have at least 10 pageviews per visit :-/
That’s why it’s much better to have a self-hosted site. It doesn’t cost much these days. Well, until you start getting some real traffic at least.
Hits generally means hits (calls) to the server which are not very telling. Visits and page views are much more important.
I will be right over after I have chased the resident Zombies away Dave 🙂 I could do with a little sightseeing trip 🙂
Maybe you could take some of the zombies with you!
They have their bags packed already but some wouldn’t go because they like pinching your pancakes, some Zombies are like that you know but with the traps being added again that problem should be fixed soon 🙂 The knock-on-effect will be that Dave will be overrun with them 🙁 Oops
Look forward to it. 🙂
Your site looks great Dave and now that I have signed on with Livefyre I will be able to add lots of comments 🙂 I will be calling in again really soon my friend 🙂
hahaha…I agree with you there Frazzie. I am also a chocolate loving realist. 🙂
Anyone who doesn’t love chocolate has to be crazy!
It looks to me like Claret and Bruno
are great adventurers like Fraz 🙂 🙂
Most Wombies have an adventurous spirit. It’s what constantly keeps them in trouble.
I was watching a documentary last evening about the Slow Loris, I had never heard of them before but what a lovely little creature, there was some very interesting information on that programme and was enjoyable to watch 🙂
I wonder if they like chocolate? Mind you one was eating some cake, though probably not a good idea feeding them junk like that, though he didn’t seem to mind 🙂
I didn’t know about Slow Lorises. They sound like something Dr. Seuss made up. I think that was the Lorax. They are quite interesting creatures, and quite endangered it seems.
Hey, ya gotta respect a guy who’s being reasonable. 🙂
And there’s nothing more reasonable than chocolate!
Yes and pancakes a quite
reasonable too don’t you find? 🙂
They are!
Acievable goals are not bad 🙂
Ops! Achievable 🙂
They’re the best kind. Especially when they involve chocolate!
Some of my recent goals are not to get so far behind and not to get lost for so long when I am working in the blind. I did not mean to desert you, Peter.
No, I did not think you meant to. I know you’ve been very busy lately. But it’s nice to have you back!
