♥ Try 7 new recipes. In 2010 I baked a lot, 2011 not so much! I need to get back in the groove because I love baking. "7 new recipes" isn't confined to just baking though, it can be any type of food.
♥ Get my license...finally. I think I'm finally ready to get my license. I've been feeling awfully trapped lately and spending lots of time dreaming about what it would be like if I could go places on my own and what I'd do (volunteer at the cat sanctuary!!). I'll definitely be waiting until spring (I'm not learning in the snow!) so I have time to keep talking myself into it. I know in the long run, no matter how scary it seems now, driving will really be best for me.
♥ Go bowling more! Does this need an explanation? I love bowling, Kevin and I both have our own balls, we don't live too far from the alley, why aren't we there more often?!
♥ Hang things in the bedroom. If you looked in my bedroom you'd probably presume we just moved in. After two years we still haven't hung anything in there! 2012 is the year we'll finally decorate.
♥ Take a photo an hour once a month. Photo an hour posts are one of my favorite things here on the blog. It's so much fun to be able to look back on a day in such detail. They're time consuming and often get forgotten midday but I'd like to do at least one each month.
♥ Make new friends. Online and in person. I'm stupidly shy, don't let my blog fool you. I can never muster the courage to approach people that look interesting in public, I'd like to do that at least once this year. (PS. Anyone out there near Cleveland, OH or Erie, PA want to hang out?:))
♥ Send more snail mail. Who doesn't like getting mail? I want to send more just for fun mail that don't have to do with business. I fondly remember getting letters from grandpa when I was little, maybe I should write letters to my nieces in Missouri.
♥ Save a little month each month. This is my first year ever making a goal to save money, I guess this means I'm a real adult now. I just want to put away a little bit each month - maybe it will be for a car, or a vacation, who knows. I want it to be used for something fun at the end of the year (or maybe in the summer). It'll be much easier to save if I know it's for something like that.
♥ Clean the basement. If you've been a long time reader, you might remember when my craft room was in the basement and it was completely amazing but then it flooded and I had to move into the spare bedroom (which actually turned out to be really awesome).... Well, long story short, our basement is a mess. It's going to be a huge task but I really do need to do something about it.
♥ Camp more often. Another one that doesn't need an explanation. We love camping so why don't we do it more often?
♥ Shoot more film (& learn to develop it) This was on last years goal list too and while I do feel like I did shoot more film, I want to shoot even more this year! Also, last summer I bought all the supplies to develop my own film. I chickened out and never ended up trying so that's definitely something I need to do this year.
♥ Take nieces and nephew on one on one dates. My nieces and nephews are growing up way too fast. My nephew will soon be getting to the age where he's too cool to show love to his aunt and uncle (or maybe he'll never get that way, which I would looooove) and I really want to spend lots of time with him. My nieces still have a while to go before that happens but of course, I want to enjoy every second of their childhood. I want all the kids to have good memories of Kevin and I from their childhood as I do with my aunt. I'm thinking the zoo, natural history museum, aquarium and movies all sound like great ideas!
How about you, what are you 2012 goals?
xoxo
