10 January 2011

I'm late to the party...

but happy new year, y'all! Hahaha! Despite the fact that we're almost two weeks into 2011, there are still 50 left, so in perspective, I'm still at the beginning of it. I'm getting older, quicker and the days are moving faster than I can note, but I feel like this is especially true of 2010. I waited a long time for 2010 and now it's already gone, but a lot happened in those measly 12 months. To sum it up, I decided to use some of my favorite pictures from the year month by month.







































 Now what? I've got a lot to think about and to work on in 2011, so here are some goals:

  • Learn to speak Spanish (somewhat).
  • Find a job (or jobs) where I work at least 30 hours a week.
  • Hand make 3 things I am proud of. (Maybe you can teach me to do something cool like this, Kellie?)
  • Handwrite a letter a week.
  • Paint and decorate my room.
  • Set aside time to write short stories.
  • Take the GRE again and apply to 5 graduate programs.
  • Inventory, organize, and cut down all of my belongings to fit in my room following The Cult of Less.
  • Achieve my healthy size finally (almost there!) ... and stay there.
  • Move.
  • Start a book of my favorite (read: edible) recipes.
  • Visit a new state. (I'll choose Colorado if you'll take me on one of these, Marie!)
  • Run in a 5k. (Wanna run one together Lauren?)
  • Check my car's tire pressure and oil on the first of every month.
  • Volunteer regularly.
  • Have more fun than I had in 2010....

  1. I'm kind of a dork, but I'm excited that I warranted a picture :)

  2. You have such a sweet life. And if you stay in NC and close to me you know you always have a craft partner. No matter how crazy or big it gets... my dad called the other day and said he got some old power tools for me. This could mean good things for us.


    (i enjoy you so so so so much!)
