Err........hello there, December.
WTF?!
December. I'm not ready for this. AT. ALL.
Eeesh.
How the hell has everyone been? As per usual, things have been dreadfully dull about these parts. I have no apologies or excuses for the sporadic dry spells. Life, you know? Oh. And I did follow through with a new blog. I'm digging the freedom of anonymity right now and I will likely keep it that way. The freedom to say what you want without the repercussions of people from real life finding out. absolutely amazing.
But in the spirit of not being totally separate, this is a carry over from the other blog with few editions and subtractions.
As I have mentioned on the blog before, I HATE New Year Resolutions. HATE. THEM. Each time I've sat down and thoughtfully made a list of all the things I'd like to accomplish in the new year, I've failed miserably. It just ends up being a list of things that I know I won't follow through on.
Instead, I've started a tradition of New Year Suggestions. It's a list I always work on well before the new year. I never complete the items on said list. And well, I'm kind of o.k. with that. A pessimist way of thinking? Nah. I like to think of myself as a realist.
Here's my list for upcoming new year:
What is on your list?

Here's my list for upcoming new year:
- Finish the C25k program and run a damn 5k. I don't even know how many times I've put this "goal" on a list and never completed it. I want to be a runner. There are days I feel like I was meant to be a runner but my body, specifically my hip, doesn't agree with me. But it's going to happen. I just know it. And until it happens, I'm keeping it on the list.
- Read 50 books a.k.a. read a book a week. Again. This is on the list every year. And every year I fail miserably. Obviously we still have a month to go, but thus far I've only managed to read 39 books. Dismal. Absolutely dismal.
- Finish a project. I actually have a project in mind, but seeing as it is a photography related project, it will likely remain unfinished as I can't seem to complete ANYTHING that requires a camera.
- Wear more glitter! I'm not a skinny girl. I never have been. Never will be, but I still have this nagging little voice in the back of my head reminding me that "Girls like you don't wear that kind of stuff" and that voice sounds freakishly like my Grandmother who use to repeatedly tell me such things ALL THE TIME which I am sure is why my wardrobe is almost entirely black. Where is the fun in that?! So this year it's going to be more color, more glitter, more SPARKLE!
What is on your list?
I'm not so big on New Years Resolutions either... or really, for that matter, goals in general. I don't know if it's the most productive way to be, but it always seems like those lists tend to be full of things that would be nice to have happen, but I don't really want enough to chase after or even for that matter remember 3 days after.
ReplyDeleteOy - my list is always very Bridget Jones: learn to cook, lose weight, save money, go to the gym. Do I do this? Pretty much never. But I have just enough chick-lit in my reading repertoire to have a sense of humor about it, so there's that.
ReplyDeleteI have the same reading goal every year as well -- and I too fail miserably. But hey, I did better than last year, so progress, right?
