2013

I want to donate blood at least four times.

I want to find out what's wrong with my wonky thyroid.

I want to continue on my yoga journey.

I want to run more.

I want to celebrate five years of marriage with Shawn.

I want to run.

I want to learn how to make croissants from scratch.

I want to bake a black forest cake for my dad's birthday.

I want to throw a BBQ for Shawn's 35th birthday.

I want to cut my hair off so I'm forced to find a hairstyle I like instead of defaulting to a ponytail every damn day.

I want to attend my first birth as a doula-in-training.

I want to take more pictures and learn to use my camera better.

I want to write more letters and do a better job at letting people know how important they are to me.

I want to learn how to crochet.

I want to figure out how to meal plan for our family instead of trying to adopt solutions that aren't quite right for us and then failing after a week.

I want to learn how to be better with money. I'm bad at money. I just am. I'm 30 years old. I should not use "I just am" as an excuse to continue to be bad with money.

I want to write more.

I want to take Grady swimming.

I want to clean my oven. At least once. I've never cleaned an oven before. It's shameful.

I want to laugh more, fret less, watch my tone, use positive words, admit my faults, allow myself to fail, eat as much chocolate as I please, and teach my kid to be kind.

    Sounds like a good year to me. Also, if you learn to make croissants, I want a lesson.

    Taking my nephew swimming in November was easily one of the VERY BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. He is a water baby, totally unlike his daddy and his Auntie.
    He doesn't talk much, but him trying to say "splash" and having it come out as "pash" was awesome.
    I hope Grady loves swimming too.

    Can I just write a big ME TOO to all of those? Or, well, most of them, obviously.

    I love this forward-looking post. Now, you just need to print it out and tape it to your bathroom mirror ... in a high location where Grady can't tear it down! =)

    Beautiful resolutions :) I've never actually cleaned an oven before either, and the way it's talked about, it's always intimidated me...
