Awhile ago, well last December, I made a goal list - a 28 before 29 list (ha, and now you know my age!). I thought maybe I’d share that list here and take some note of how I’m coming on it!
28 before 29
- Focus on building my photography/design business.
++ I started out really gung ho with this and eve had a couple photoshoots, then life happened. It’s hard when I already have a full time job and commute. Those are all just excuses though. I have expanded my Etsy shop some and am having a ton of fun with that. I think I just need to set some time aside to figure out if I want to move forward and if so, how. Buy a new lens for my camera.
++Done! I got a 50mm and I LOVE it, works so great with portraits!- Donate my hair this year. Do it!
++Okay, this was on my list for last year too...and I just can’t bring myself to cut my hair, I just can’t. I still want to donate it, but I’m just not ready yet. Keep reading! Goal is 20 books this year & for two of them to be “classics”.
++As of 7/17/13 I had read 21 books, but no classics. SO, I read Jane Eyre this month and will need to get another one in there. At the moment I’m reading the Maze Runner (I needed something easier after Jane Eyre!)Celebrate 2 years with Brian in March!
++Done! Although, I’m having a hard time remembering what we did...is that ridiculous or what? Wait, I remember see No. 7 :)- Expand my Etsy shop!
++Been doing this for awhile and after going to Colorado I have some more pictures and posters I’d like to add. Assuming the NHL gets their heads out of their asses...go see a Wild game!
++Went to see a game this past March!Get the basement picked up & organized.
++Done! Well, it was done REALLY nice, but it’s starting to get messy again, that’s just life. We also need to make a dropoff to the thrift shop!- Expand our liquor/drink knowledge by trying new drinks at home, keep track of which ones we do and don’t like!
++We have YET to do this, but I really want to. Any suggestions on where to start? Any good liquor-related blogs out there? - Make decorating efforts on our home! I have major ideas for the bedroom, bathroom and livingroom!
++We’ve made SOME progress here. We purchased a *new* used couch in Apirl. Then I made some paintings (pinterest) that we hung in our bedroom. We also just purchased some prints of my photography that we need to get framed. - Get a new tattoo! ….with Brian perhaps?
++News here, I have decided I can get the half sleeve that I want...once I’ve lost the weight that I want. I’m still deciding on the exact idea for the sleeve though, so I’ll probably end up doing a post about that at some point. :P Go on a vacation! (somewhere I haven’t been before..)
++We went to Denver and it ROCKED!Plant and tend to a garden, either in our yard or at the community garden.
++We got involved with the community garden this summer, it’s been a lot of fun and even more work! lol Brian has done the majority of it, but I figure it evens out since I cook most of it??? Maybe….?? lolGo to a Zumba or Yoga class!
++DONE! And best thing ever, I’ve been taking classes at Firefly Yoga and it has been a very positive and wonderful addition to my shcedule.- Get musical - not sure how yet. Guitar? Back to piano?
++Ehh...this probably isn’t going to happen this year. - Make that maxi skirt!
++Still have high hopes for this one, I have ALL the materials - so maybe once it starts to get cooler and we have free weekends, I can knock it out. - Pick at least SIX “Pinterest Projects” and complete them!
++Some progress. I’ve made: “quote mugs” for gifts, two paintings for our bedroom and several workout tees, lol! - Buy myself a quality item from Ruche. I constantly lust over their clothes, yet I’ve never purchased anything!
++Not yet, maybe with birthday moolah? :P Run a 5k.
++I did the Color Run in Des Moines, my time was 38 minutes, which was okay I guess. I didn’t walk at all, so I was proud of that. Just this week I decided to sign up for the Quad Cities Palmer 5k (it’s part of the marathon).Go on walking dates with Missy (once it’s warmer, ha...).
++Done! We did this for awhile, then it dropped off because school has started AND it crazy hot!- Start exploring state parks with Brian, we talked about trying to visiting every state park in Iowa...I think we should start making it a reality! Aim for 3 or 4 this summer!
++Haven’t done anything with this one yet. :/ - Go see all those Madison Bridges! They have a festival the 2nd full weekend in October.
++Oh man, I forgot about this! Still have time to cross this guy off! - Create a photo book on blurb, to sell. Maybe a midwest or Iowa theme.
++Ha, no progress yet. - Stop biting my nails/peeling nail polish. Such a gross habit.
++This one has been a rollercoaster, any suggestions? - Celebrate Halloween properly...we missed it this year!
++We have been making tentative plans - I need to decide on a costume! - Brew our own beer. (I’d like to do this, but I know Brian REALLY would like to do this)
++Sigh, not yet. - Re-learn how to shoot a gun & pass the hunter’s safety course.
++I was all about this earlier in the year, but we just haven’t had the time. Start journaling again, more actively...so you know, more than once every few months. Ha!
++Yep, been doing this...and now I have this blog. So yup!
So far, 12 out of 28 - not quite half, lol. It’s okay though, because I think making the list itself is more important than finishing EVERYTHING on it. Having goals is a good thing...and when I make this list each year I know I probably won’t complete it, but that’s okay. Though, I do still plan on checking off a few more before December!
What are some of your goals this fall?
