2013 Resolutions

It is nine days past the New Year, but a list like this takes some time and research to complete, but it is finally finished (for now). It is also pretty long, but I’ve got a year to get them done right? Some are small achievements, some are checklist items, some reflect life goals, and others are just for fun. I’m going to save these to my desktop so I can refer back to them frequently throughout the year and “check in”.

2013 Resolutions

·      Finish a jigsaw puzzle

·      Watch foreign films more regularly (to brush up on my language skills)

·      Sign up for a gym membership (self explanatory)

·      Drive more frequently; and be more adventurous about my trips (I’m a closet scaredy-cat when it comes to driving)

·      Read 5 books from Modern Library’s best novels list

·      Sell my crocheted projects at a fair

·      Cook at home more often (at least one meal a day)

·      Read for pleasure more frequently (audiobooks revolutionized my 2012)

·      Go bowling, laser-tagging, and mini golfing at least twice each

·      Go ice-skating once (because I’m terrified of ice skating)

·      Read the Books of Mormon in its entirety once (because I’m Mormon, and I should own it)

·      Avoid always ordering the same “safe meal” when eating out at new restaurants (which for me usually consists of a burger and fries)

·      Create an Etsy page for my crocheting

·      Go out Latin dancing more regularly (I really miss dancing and I haven’t done it in too long)

·      Go to a concert and spare no expenses (preferable Blue Man Group, those guys seem so freaky, but also really cool)

·      Get a job! (Small victories eh?)

·      Got to New York City (finally go up the Statue of Liberty? I always avoid that…or maybe the opening of the new World Trade Center)

·      Fast for 48 hours (I’ve done 24, and I want to be able to work up to 72)

·      Prepare and eat a six-course meal (appetizer, soup, salad, starch, protein, dessert)

·      Eat something I’ve never eaten before (and may be slightly outside my comfort zone)

·      Geocache?

·      Do some unexpected good deed (pay for someone’s groceries, leave a very generous tip, pay the toll for someone driving behind you, give a random person carrying groceries a ride home, whatevs…)

·      Attend the Midnight screening of a movie on opening day

·      Find a drive-in movie theater and/or outdoor movie screening, and watch a movie

·      Write a letter to the future me to read (in ten years)
