2013, y'all.


HAPPY NEW YEAR, MY LITTLE CHICKENS!

Reflection: 2012 was one of the best years of my life. I accomplished a lot of little goals and met some amazing people. I rekindled some precious friendships that I cannot imagine living without. I got a new outlook on the world. I cried a lot, I laughed way more. I toasted many beautiful weddings, lost some dear family, and really discovered a lot about myself in the process. 2012 was a year of learning. I wouldn't take back one single day. I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to and I cannot believe how fast this year flew by. I will cherish you forever, 2012.

Resolution: I think that writing down goals, big or small, is imperative to keeping to them. Last year, I noted a few goals I wanted to work harder on in the new year. For the most part, I attempted to stay true! I read FIFTEEN books this year thanks to my ever dependable kindle fire. I rarely ever drink cokes anymore, replaced that vice with Starbucks coffee. I didn't learn how to sew, I didn't take a vacation in the mountains... But the beach sure didn't suck. Some things I want to get done in 2013 include but are not limited to:

1. Continue blogging, obvi. (My blog turned two in December!)
2. Be more frugal with purchases. Step one: shopping ban!
3. Cook more. Try new recipes. Actually grocery shop.
4. Go on more random adventures alone.
5. Join a gym! I still wanna run that 5k!

What tops your list this year? Hope 2013 finds you all well. Stay merry.

2012
will be here in a moment of hours...
I want to document my goals for 2012.  Resolutions never really pan out, do they?  
I still can't give up the coke zero!
Here's the merrymaker's list to work towards and hopefully accomplish in 2012.
(in no particular order...)

one: apply to grad school
two: take the praxis by march
three: work on my finances (make a dent in loans, etc)
four: learn the basics of sewing & make a skirt (or a pillow)
five: read more books (hello, kindle) 
six: run a 5K
seven: drink less coke
eight: make time for myself to think and grow
nine: cook more meals at home, go out to eat less
ten:  take better care of myself 
eleven:  take TWO real vacations, one in the mountains & one to the beach.
twelve:  shop less, thrift more

I was going to add 'floss more' to the list, but I think that's an overshare.
Oh wait, too late...
