2013 Goals

I've always been hesitant to use the term "New Years Resolution." As I'm getting older and the years seem to pass more quickly, it feels almost feeble to try to start a whole new life just because of the new year. People focus on their weaknesses - bad eating habits, clutter, money problems, work, and resolve to solve their problems in the new year. But my personal weaknesses are not something I want to focus on in the new year. Instead I have created a list of goals; things I hope to do or accomplish this year. Some of them are big, some are small. Some are silly, some are serious... so here's to a great 2013!




Keep potted plants alive - I have owned many plants in my life, but I currently own none. Which tells you how well I have kept them alive so far. This year, I want to get some special plants and keep them alive!
Sledding
Build a Snowman
Get a tattoo - Now that I am 100% positive I want a tattoo, I just have to figure out what and where!
Plant something with Lila
See a Rainbow
 Have a Dinner Party - I love the idea of having a dinner party with a few friends. Picking the menu, cooking, picking the wine, and dressing up nice!
Watch the Stars
Go Camping
Join a Book Club - I really want to find one in the area that I can join. I love to read and have been doing more lately, and I always want someone to discuss the books with!


Take a Dance Class - I am a dancer at heart and this year I want to take at least one dance class, or preferably find a studio that I fit into and start taking regular classes!
Cook More/Try New Recipes
Dye my Hair - I have been dieing (pun intended) to try some new things with my hair. I have never really dyed it before (besides some pathetic pink streaks once) and I have a few ideas in mind that I am determined to try this year!
Take a Bubble Bath at least Once a Month - This one doesn't really need an explanation, does it?
Get all my stuff out of Storage - For the last three years, ever since I moved back from Milwaukee, I have had a lot of boxes of stuff in storage. I have been slowly going through it but my goal this year is to finally get everything out of there and put it to use or give it away!
Go to Epplegarden as many times as possible - An apple garden in our area. Love it.
Finish all my Scrapbooks
Join Etsy Best Team - This one is a big maybe. I really want to join this team because I think would be great to help me promote my shop and blog, but if I do, I want to do it full-fledged and not feel like I have to cut corners because I run out of time (read: procrastinate!)

So there you have it! Do you have any goals or resolutions this year?
