Goal 12
So, as most people who know me know, I have been working on a project to read a biography of each US President. The original goal was to do it within the year when I set the goal. I got off to a respectable start, but then I stalled out. I chose too many of… Continue reading Goal 12
Goal 27
One of my birthday goals was to take a picture daily for a month. I have set this goal before and failed to achieve it, so I decided to try again. This time, however, I gave myself at theme. I assigned myself to take pictures of the sky. Funny thing is, I can’t find one… Continue reading Goal 27
Pretzels (aka goal 33)
Last year one of my birthday goals was to make pretzels. I didn’t make it happen, so I carried the goal over. As I looked this year’s goals, the 33 things I want to accomplish by my 33rd birthday, I couldn’t bear the thought of having another year go by without completing this simple task,… Continue reading Pretzels (aka goal 33)
Christmas craft!
I love the holiday season. And even though it is totally weird to go into the store and find both Halloween costumes and Christmas lights on display withing aisles of each other, I don’t mind seeing it. I love walking through aisles of peppermint candy, snowman shaped baking pans and nutcrackers. I love that there… Continue reading Christmas craft!
The Sketchbook Project
I read Design Sponge, and had been seeing the ad for months, when extreme thirst and a (correct) hunch that I had failed to lock my door woke me up in the middle of the night. I started poking around online and saw the ad. Again. And that the deadline had been extended. And signed… Continue reading The Sketchbook Project
Moist
Right outside my apartment building is the drain for the parking lot. I hadn’t paid much attention to this in the past having moved in the fall and missed spring rain. Well, let’s just say I am glad that I bought rain boots this year. Let’s also say that this is a serious amount of… Continue reading Moist
Goal 24: Done
It’s the cocktail goal. There’s something about always being the girl to order a Jack and Coke at the bar when she goes dancing by herself that is a little uncomfortable. It’s just not ladylike. (Stop laughing!) So, I decided to learn more about what I like and what I don’t like in terms of… Continue reading Goal 24: Done
Checking in
So, I do these birthday goals. The thing about year-long goal setting is that life can get in the way and then, unless you are diligent, you can lose sight of those goals. That general you really refers to me. So, I’m checking in. When you set 31 goals, you sort of know that you… Continue reading Checking in
Not quite a drawing
Goal number 8 is to improve my drawing. This, like improving cardio endurance or improving one’s cable-knitting skills, is a matter of practice. Yesterday, when I was wasting time on the Internet, I came across an image on Sugar City Journal. It was striking to me. Her image appears to be collage, it is of little… Continue reading Not quite a drawing
