Oh hey remember when I made goals and was actually doing them?
Awesome right.
Yeah so let’s actually see what those were.
- Read 45 books. So far I’ve read 29 books so I’m right on track to hitting my mark and hopefully passing it.
- Focus on making myself happy before everyone else. I’ve struggled with this a bit. But I have had plenty of “me time” and days off to myself where all I do is what I want to and it has been glorious.
- Work out. Um. Gah. I still walk at the Rose Bowl twice a week but an actual regime, getting to thank, stat.
- Find more reasons to wear red lipstick. Also tutus. Yes and Yes. Red lipstick has become a thing and pretty sure all I wore at BiSC were tutus, so I’m doing well there.
- Watch at least 5 Movies from 1001 Movies to See before you die. And done. I’ve watched: Annie Hall, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Maltese Falcon, Kramer vs. Kramer and Some Like It Hot. I want to add more this year because apparently there are a lot of classics I just haven’t seen yet!
- Take a big trip or buy a house. Coming Up! Seriously I am counting down until our big East Coast trip. There’s still lots to plan but I AM SO EXCITED.
- Send at least 10 “just because” cards or gifts (or both!) to friends without telling them. I haven’t been really keeping count but I’ve sent out a few cards and cookies and fun gifts to friends and it’s just so nice to send little surprises.
- Re-tag/organize/categorize the blog. It’s seriously tagged all over the place since I made the switch. Oy. I need a functioning computer and internet and then spend a whole weekend doing this.
- Try a new recipe every month. I think I’ve been doing this? I’ve been baking and trying new things so yeah, I’ll just say I’m doing well.
- Take a leap. Try something, anything new this year. Well Yeah I took a pretty big freaking leap. I mean I had to drop out of the Color Run but then I ended up literally jumping into a trapeze. Sweet hell.
So yeah, the rest of my year should basically just be: watch movies, read books, send people fun gifts and work the eff out. Sounds like a plan to me.
Did you make any new year’s goals or resolutions? How are you doing? Slacking? Winning? Eh, what are goals?
happy weekend!

lots of fun things you’ve already accomplished and still lots more fun things to look forward to!
I need to check in on my list, although I have been kicking some book butt…I’ve already read 45 books this year. and off the top of my head? that appears to be my most major accomplishment this year, ha.
You’re doing so well!! I love your goals. Especially the wearing tutus and red lipstick one. Priorities!
Have you read “Gone Girl?” I’m reading it now and hooked!
I bet you have sent 10 cards! I know I’ve been the recipient of one and let me tell you, it made my day
I’m still in awe of you doing the trapeze stuff!
Oh, and if you figure out a way to recategorize and tag your blog that’s efficient and etc. please share!? Mine is kind of a mess these days…
Woot! You rock, girl!
xox
Oh my gosh, that photo is just so awesome. I really want to print my blog, but I have so much reformatting to do from its first couple of years in existence… ugh. I got started on it earlier this year, then burned out and haven’t done anything with it since.
Love the idea of the random cards/gifts! I think I’m going to have to steal this goal and make it my own. Thanks for sharing it
Freakin’ trapeze!? AWESOME!!
You’re doing great! I’m sorry but it makes me smile when I think about your trapeze experience because mine was the same. SO GLAD we’re together on this. And we can help keep each other in check in putting ourselves first sometimes, I struggle w/that too!
