Plans for a New Year

image

I have a love/hate relationship with New Year’s Resolutions.  (Ahem, hence the 30-day challenge theme this blog started as.  Just for purposes of clarification, 30 < 365.)  I love the idea of committing to bettering yourself somehow in the new year, but 12 months seems like a loooong time to really stick to those goals that I was so gung-ho about on January 2nd.  Despite this, I’ve made a few resolutions for this year.  Whether or not they stick for the next 11 1/2 months, remains to be seen.  The list is short, but sweet; I at least attempted to try to keep my resolutions somewhat attainable in the hopes that, come December, I’d be ringing the victory bell (what, you guys don’t have one of those in your house?  Weird.)

1. In 2012, I will attempt to blog more.  Given that I posted about 1.5 times in 2010 2011 ← holy F what year is it? (give or take 3.5), I’m hoping this will be pretty easy to fulfill.  Ok, ok, really it’s to make more of a commitment to this little page my thoughts occasionally call home.

2. Make some changes.  Some things changed in 2011 (yes, I got married.  More on that later.**), some things stayed the same.  I’m going to go ahead and keep this one intentionally vague because there are a lot of things which could potentially change in 2012.  I mean, the world is supposed to end this year isn’t it?  Why not shake things up a bit while you have the chance?

3. I’d like to try something new every month.  Yes, you’re correct in thinking, “Um, wasn’t that the original point of this blog?”  Well, in case you haven’t noticed, once I started working full-time, my 30-day challenges sort of fizzled into oblivion (cue that descending whistling sound they use in movies right before something blows up).  So, I haven’t committed to 12 30-day challenges for 2012 (sorry, kids), but I have decided to try something new every month, whether it be breaking in a new appliance we got as a wedding gift, or trying a new restaurant.  I’m trying to keep the rules a little soft here so that I can hopefully actually stick to this.  This month’s endeavor started today; but, again, more on that in a later post.

Ok, that’s my list for now!  I’ll have a post coming up about my current “try something new” for January.  Stay tuned!

**I did attempt to write a bit about our wedding yesterday, but just couldn’t get the words out the way I wanted.  I think things are still a little fresh and personal for me to be ready to share with the world, so for now I’ll post our first official wedding photo and will plan to post more thoughts on the wedding/getting married at a later date.  Bear (bare?  No wait, that’s something different…) with me please! 🙂
