oh 2013. you began just a week ago, but it feels like its been forever. where to begin with what i plan to do with you. such potential, you could be a lot of things, like...
the year i try new things.
the boy gives me a hard time about my dislike of sushi. well i'm not a fan of fish... and raw fish creeps me out. maybe this year, i'll let him help me find something i like... or at least that i'm bare enough to try.
maybe i want to try to learn a new skill. i still have the "teach yourself to knit" kit i bought way back when. have i taught myself to knit? no way, jose. i guess i will just need to give in and say to someone "teach me your ways" and call it a day. or maybe erika and i will finally take that second cake decorating class... five years later.
the year i get back in to shapei know at least one of you are thinking "oh but emily, you are so skinny!!"
yeah, but just because i'm 5'11" and proportionate doesn't mean that i don't get winded after climbing a flight of stairs. i've been debating year in and year out (basically since i quit my gym membership in 2011) about starting at a cheaper place. well, the cheaper gym has been found, but now i just need to man up and sign up.
the year i save more spend lessyeah, so far so good. i've been a lot better at my spending habits than i have in years past. like, WAY better. on top of that, the boy and i have set a "we want to go to disneyland together" goal of putting $20 a month aside for said disneyland trip in the future. that has helped already with a mindset of remembering to set that aside, well... because i love disneyland. 'nuff said. plus, there are bigger (and pricier) things that i know my future holds, which fall under the "more important than a new shirt" category.
the year i make a clean sweep
yep. clean sweep as in out with the old for plenty of room for the new. (this is where the blog photo makes a little more sense) this past week i have thrown out 3 dozen old roses, a vase of balloon shards, 7 wrist corsages, countless numbers of test prints from photography classes, a bazillion cd cases, and so much more. i think this might just be the biggest room cleaning over haul i have done in my entire life. throwing things away & donating stuff without remaining emotionally attached to them has been rough, but i'm already amazed with how much more space i have in my closet. if i keep this up, i will have so much less stuff to deal with down the line when moving forward to the next steps in life. besides, random things i find that amuse me but don't get to stay have already been documented forever on
instagram.
the year i blog moreno seriously, its a goal. which in turn, will hopefully help me craft more this year, do more memorable things, and just straight up want to document more. i was recently going through old writings from a few years back, and really wish i had done a better job at documenting things here and there. maybe 2013 will bring day trips, adventures around this area, and all that jazz. and when i say maybe, i really mean please and thank you.
the year i do all that and moreno seriously. i'm hoping to make a lot of this year.
2012 was pretty excellent, so hopefully 2013 will be super duper. with ice cream and oreo cookies on top.
