2012 Goals – January Update
Last year I didn’t check in with myself in terms of my goals. I have a feeling that if I had, I might have attained more of them. This year I’m starting off by updating at the end of the first month. I’d like to think I’m going to continue this trend, but I’m not … Continue reading
The Velour Track Pants
When getting ready for bed last night I stripped off my jeans and reached into my pajama bottom drawer (yes, I have so many that they require their own drawer) and grabbed the first pair that my hand touched. In pulling them out I saw that they were the bottoms to a velour track suit … Continue reading
2011 Reading Wrap-Up
Twenty-nine. That’s how many books I read last year, which is just a mere third of the number I read in 2010. Kinda sad, right? The Breakdown: 23 fiction 6 non-fiction 3 re-reads 2 abandoned 1 unfinished (almost, but not completely – not included in total or listed below) Best (New) Books of the Year: … Continue reading
p52: Week 1 – Resolution
Resolution This picture is absolutely nothing special. Not in composition, nor editing quality, nor subject. It’s a picture of my workout shoes. What they represent, however, is my resolution this year to take back my body. I’ve resolved to begin running again, and already I’ve picked this back up twice this week. Tomorrow will be … Continue reading
2012 Goals: Miscellaneous
There are quite a few other random things that I’d like to accomplish this year, but they don’t fit neatly into my other categories. So they’re going here instead. #1 – Read the newspaper cover to cover at least once a week. (And not just the thin Monday paper.) #2 – Read one book a … Continue reading
2012 Goals: Health and Wellness
Last year my goal in this area was “to get into a regular exercise routine“. It may have taken me to the end of the year to accomplish this, but I did join a gym and begin working out regularly. I’m not where I want to be, though. This year I’m bumping up my goals, … Continue reading
2012 Goals: Big Ticket To-Dos
In 2011 I accomplished one goal in this category: increasing our life insurance. This means there were two goals left over that did not get done: replacing the fence (which is on hold until 2013) and the one I’ll be carrying over to this year: #1 – Update our wills. The good news (if you … Continue reading
2011 Goals: The Accomplishments
At the beginning of the year I had four categories of goals that I’d set for myself, down from six in 2010 and TEN in 2009. I know. I get wiser with each year that passes. And because I think I said it pretty well in last year’s ‘accomplishments’ post, I’m just copying and pasting … Continue reading
2011 Reflection Questions
Posing these questions for myself at the end of each year has become a tradition that I cherish. Honestly evaluating what I have (and have not) done, and whether I feel I’ve lived the past year to its potential is fun and eye-opening. Plus it’s fun for me to look back at what I’ve said … Continue reading
Busyness and Blogging Excuses
Things have been so busy – both in terms of scheduled activities and brain activities – that I haven’t even thought to sit down and write a coherent blog post lately. SO MUCH has happened in the past two (three?) weeks that I barely know where to begin, so I’ll just go for it. My … Continue reading
