So. It’s a new year. With new goals.
Last year’s goals were pretty good. I managed to somewhat accomplish all of them (minus the budgeting, I still fail at that). So this year I’m going to revisit a few as well as add in some new ones, because why not right? So. Goals. Resolutions. Ambitions. Whatever you want to call them. Here we go:
- Read 45 books.
- Focus on making myself happy before everyone else. Also note: It’s okay to be selfish sometimes.
- Work out. Seriously. Do it.
- Find more reasons to wear red lipstick. Also tutus. Not necessarily together. But still. Fun times.
- Watch at least 5 Movies from 1001 Movies to See before you die.
- Take a big trip or buy a house. You know. That’s easy enough right?
- Send at least 10 “just because” cards or gifts (or both!) to friends without telling them.
- Re-tag/organize/categorize the blog. It’s seriously tagged all over the place since I made the switch.
- Try a new recipe every month. Seriously, baking is so fun. Maybe I’ll even venture into actual cooking things.
- Take a leap. Try something, anything new this year.
So. That’s what I’ve got. I may add more, I may take some away. They’re my goals and hopefully I can stick to them this year and make 2012 a memorable one. I’ve got high hopes for this year.
So any goals for you? Any ideas for me?
happy thursday!

Good goals, Katelin!! I really like your last one
Good luck in 2012, can’t wait to see what you get up to!
Ooo, I may add the movie one to my list!
Can you help me on the being selfish one, as in, doing it? I think that ties into my goal of saying no more, and de-stressing my life but I’m already failing at it. Sigh.
Other than that I’m trying to make everyday life somehow more vacation like in little ways here and there… I think I can pull it off!
Love your list!
Great goals! 45 books, that is A TON to me. I am a slow reader (hardly even get through the book club books)!
I like these goals! This year I’m not really trying to set goals for myself, more just making sure I live in the present. Which is a big one for me haha.
Great goals! I’m definitely trying to read more, cook more, and send more random notes of kindness.
Hell yes for the random cards!
In addition to your movies, there are several books I want to read from the “books you must read before you die” list.
I am working on eating healthier (with being a college student it’s quite the challenge) and avoid sodas as much as possible. I mean I plan to live up to 110 and I want to look as best as I can at that age. Hope it all works out for you Katelin!
girllll, you can totally accomplish these! i’m excited to hear about the books you read. and the movies from the list. weeeee. i have to make a goals list. like RIGHT NOW. psh. watch out, 2012.
Oh man, good call on the ‘re-tagging’ thing.. I need to do that as well! Plus I still don’t know what I want to call the baby on the blog.. haha half my tags are baby q and the other half are lil c
These are awe inspiring goals! Happy New Year!
I love the goal about the red lipstick! It’s so funny bc I recently complimented a friend on her red lipstick and told her how I felt like a little kid playing dress up whenever I tried it on but I SO wished I could pull it off. Well she tells me that I should keep searching for the right red and that her goal for 2012 was to wear more red lipstick! I thought that was a fun goal
And then I come here and it’s your goal too!
Maybe it’s a sign I need to keep searching for that right color red huh?
I approve of the red lipstick goal. I have literally never worn it myself, so maybe we can plan a girls meet-up where we all have to wear red lipstick…and tutus. Even if all we do is sit around and eat food and watch TV.
Good choices
I love this! So many great things on the list. I am the same about working out and wearing more lipstick, even if it’s just to go to the store. Why not? And I definitely need to focus on making me happy, I don’t do that much at all.
Love the idea of trying a new recipe each month. I love cooking and baking but lately I’ve been getting bored with the same few meals I make all the time. Time to mix it up!
