May Goals

Meh, I'm way late writing this post. I'm still a freaking mess. It's getting depressing. I cannot believe it's May already. This year is completely flying by. I guess the year always does...

April Recap:

*Start tracking my food again. Nope...okay...a few days...and then not so much. Ugh. 

*I kinda have been dragging on working out since my birthday injury, but I need to get myself back in gear. Not so much...a little...it was really good some days...

*Start up a shop on Etsy or Storenvy. YES!! I DID IT!! So excited, because it took me forever...BUT YAY: Craftcherry is open over at Storenvy!

* I've gotten a little bit of an itch to sew lately, which I haven't had in a while...so I want to get a couple things completed this month. Not so much....I DID buy fabric. I even prewashed it. But I did not cut it. Bah.

Okay, seriously need to fix this funk...and for May I've put even more on my plate. But first, let's pause for a happy intermission and maybe make a little wish. Wishes are fun right?

May Goals:

*Track my food. I don't know why this is so hard. I've done it before...no problem. I NEED to do it again. 

*Work out. Need to find my motivation. If someone finds it...can you PLEASE send it back to me? (Tonight I am setting my alarm to get out for a walk or run in the morning...hopefully a run.)

*Add more items to the shop. 

*Digi scrap our 2013-2014 calendar (ours starts in June...it USED to start in March, cause that's when we first moved in together....one year I was a slacker...so now it's June.)

*Blog more and be a better bloggy friend. I've just been awful at keeping up with reading and writing blogs. I promise, I'm still here!

*Make some me time. 

*Family and friends...time...make it. 

Phew okay. Ready to make this month better than the last and linking up with Angie.

April Goals

March kinda had me falling off wagons left and right. Not sure what was going on. So, since we are a quarter of the way through 2013 (seriously?!), I thought it might be a good idea to refocus.

I'm still trying to mostly keep up with my 2013 Resolutions. Although, I have been struggling with my mile a day plan and I still haven't sat down with my camera yet.

Here is the plan for April:

*Start tracking my food again. REALLY not sure what happened there. 

*I kinda have been dragging on working out since my birthday injury, but I need to get myself back in gear.

*Start up a shop on Etsy or Storenvy. We've had some rain come in, so I'm waiting for some beautiful drier weather to get pictures. Then I just need to shake being overwhelmed, by all the stuff that seems to go along with a shop. Any and all advice welcome!

* I've gotten a little bit of an itch to sew lately, which I haven't had in a while...so I want to get a couple things completed this month. Top of my list is this Schoolhouse Tunic:

I rarely make anything for myself and I feel like it's time, I certainly need to make one before the heat of the summer sneaks up on us. 

I'm linking up with:

2013 Resolutions

1. Blog more. I've gotten really bad about only blogging once...MAYBE twice a week. I'm hoping that this year I'll be blogging much more.

2. Find the girl I was in February and March of 2012. I'm going to start tracking my food again tomorrow and on Friday I will officially start up my Fat Ass Friday posts again, whether or not there is a linky party to join. John and I are getting a 3 month/winter membership to the rec center so we can use their gym and have NO excuses for not working out. Rain and cold will not stop me from reaching my goals!

3. I really want to craft more this year. I seemed to have fizzled out sometime after April and never got my crafting mojo back. Well, I'm hitting my overflowing Pinterest boards and I'm going to start crafting again.

4. Continue with mile a day. Technically, I think it was supposed to end on New Years Eve...but I find that posting it on instagram has almost given me a boost in motivation. So I'm going to see how long I can go. Started 2013 off with 3.4 miles and it felt great!

5. PROJECT LIFE! I've been working hard to catch up on 2012. Snapfish has a few more hours left on there 99 for 99 cent deal and I'm trying to talk advantage. The big variety pack is due to hit Amazon on Friday and I have my planner ready to go. I'll have more on how I've set up for this year next week. I should have the title page and first week done by then. I love LOVE this project...and I adore looking over the pages I've completed. It feels so great to have all those memories recorded and so many photos printed. Before they were just sitting on my computer where no one could see them.

6.  Read these books and then read some more. Currently on my nightstand:

• A Feast for Crows - George R.R. Martin My 2nd or 3rd time reading this series. Cannot wait for the next book to come out!
• Caught - Harlan Coben My mother gave me this book. It takes place in the same area of NJ I spent my tween/teenage years.
• Switch Bitch - Roald Dahl Accidental find at Half Price Books. I'll read anything Roald Dahl, can't wait for this one!
• Start Something That Matters - Blake Mycoskie My sister's close friend Flo (Made by Firenze hosted an amazing giveaway last month and I won a pair of TOMS...on top of also giving money to a charity in my name she also included this book. (Such a wonderful, generous surprise!) I am really looking forward to reading it. I love the TOMS One for One program.
• Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade - Diana Gabaldon This is a spin off of her Outlander novels. I really enjoyed the first Lord John and am looking forward to sinking my teeth into this one.
• Game of Thrones: Graphic Novel Volume One - George R. R. Martin Technically this is my husband's book, but if he isn't done with it by the time I'm finished with the rest of my list, I'm gonna snag it.

7.  Sit down and actually learn how to use my camera. I got it in 2011 to use for my Munch's birthday and then my In-Law's officially gifted it to me that Christmas...still don't know how to use it to it's full potential. John got me some filter lenses for it and I am determined to learn how to use everything.

8. Cook up a Feast of Ice and Fire. There are some really fantastic recipes in here. They are mostly Medieval recipes with quotes from the books naming their locations. Some recipes even have modern versions. We thought about having a Game of Thrones premier party, but I'm just not sure how that would work with the munchkins.

And that's my 2013 game plan. It looks like a lot, but I don't think I went overboard.

Wishing EVERYONE a happy and healthy 2013.
