As 2012 quickly draws to an anticlimactic close, I went back and found my New Year’s Resolutions. Since I only have a week left to accomplish them and that week will be full of time spent at the gym, I decided to just go ahead and see how I fared this year.
- Be a better friend/daughter/sister/girlfriend/co-worker because this past year I’ve done a pretty shitty job with some of those titles. Definitely been a better coworker, daughter and sister. Not sure about a better friend and girlfriend, but the mister and I are on great terms right now so maybe I did better than I thought.
- Lose enough weight to get back to my old self last year/work out more. I feel like a lard lately and it’s because I haven’t been eating right or exercising like last year! I lost 15 pounds and then gained 10 back OOPZ. Let’s try this again for the first part of 2013…
- Off of #2, I will try to do a 24-48 hour water fast one day quarter or season. I’m doing one today and it sucks so far but apparently it cleanses and detoxes. Does one per year count? I did a one day cleanse and it backfired because I was so hungry at the end, I binged out on chinese food.
- Buy more ‘classic’ or ‘timeless’ pieces for my wardrobe. Instead of buying 3 Target brand coats, buy one Patagonia. I need to buy more quality items. Definitely a YES. I have done well with this. I have purchased a lot of quality items this year.
- Keep one set of nails {finger or toe} painted at all times. Oopz, well, that didn’t happen. Seems like one of the easiest resolutions too. Whatever.
- Get on the Dean’s List for both semesters, Spring and Fall 2012. Well, I accomplished half, I did very well with my Fall 2012 course load. Spring 2012 I was literally .02 off from getting it.
- Have a more significant role at IDWC/TLG aka GET PROMOTED! Well, I don’t work for IDWC anymore. And at TLG I got employee of the year. Does that count? I say yes. I am basically the team leader/manager anyway and they’ve already told me the reason why I’m not a manager yet is because I’m in school and on Chi O exec.
- Help someone plan a wedding or coordinate their big day. YES finally one that I can say I completely accomplished. August 2012, Uptown wedding, heaven.
- 5000 tweets and 1000 pins. 5,530 tweets and a measly 448 pins. I have not been using Pinterest lately…
- Go to more concerts/museums/art galleries/plays/etc. Be more cultured. A fat goose egg. I haven’t gone to one concert, museum, art gallery or play this year.
- Be more in tune with Charlotte - learn more streets, landmarks, neighborhoods. I could not be happier to say this is a YES. I feel like I know my new neighborhood now and the surrounding parts of the city. Some days I will just drive around the city to get more acclimated.
- Get a car and an apartment. YES AND YES best year ever. I love Blake my car, and my apartment, albeit messy right now, is phenomenal.
- Take at least one or two mini {or big} vacations I went to Phoenix this year for Chi Omega for a week. Guess that kinda counts, since the last day I spent alone at the spa.
- Try to make Maurice {my computer} last through the year. It will be his 3rd birthday. If he doesn’t make it, use the iPad more. *knocks on wood* I am typing on Maurice right now. I don’t want to upgrade yet but when I do, I have to get a MacBook Pro since apparently they don’t sell the MacBook white anymore. I don’t even know where my iPad is…
- DIY more and sew more. I have this super nice sewing machine and I never do anything with it…that stops this year! :) Umm, it didn’t start this year, self. I did a lot of crafting for work and the lady who hired me as her freelance personal assistant has me do lots of crafts for her. Doesn’t count though.
I really enjoyed looking back on my resolutions. Next week or sometime this week I will be making my 2013 resolutions.
My favourite past time is stalking the profiles of people I hate and making myself angry
(via hingesoffthedoor)
When people proudly post pictures of things they bought for themselves and they are incredibly ugly and out of style.
Like………No.
He’s coming to see me for a night before he goes to TN!!!!!!!!!!
Thought I wasn’t going to see him until January.
