2013 Goals

The New Year is a great reason to sit down and consider some resolutions, goals and ambitions for the upcoming year. With this also being the start of my school year since last January semester, and the end of my short lived retail career as a store manager, let's kick start the year right. 

1. Look & Feel Great About Myself

I wanted to leave this ambigous as it needs to encompass a few things.
a) I'd love to fit into my Silver jeans

b) I want to be under 190 pounds.

c) I want to feel sexy.

d) I want to feel beautiful naked. 

2. Get Closer to my Future

This sounds a little weird. But to keep it short... 

a) Work Hard & Get closer to finishing school.

b) Find an internship. 

3. Take back my Vulva

Keep my vulvodynia under control. Be proactive about my treatment.

a) Go to physiotherapy and do my homework.

b) seek out a psychologist. 

c) Take care of my body and my mind. 

4. Love my Puppies

I need to take care of them better

a) get Caper trained

b) take them for walks more often, at least 2-3 times a week

5. Finish/Figure Out My Bucket List

6. Finish Our House

a) get my gardens up and going in the summer

b) figure out some decor in the bedroom

c) finish the kitchen cabinets

d) Bathroom needs to be done

It might be a little more than 5... but

Edit/update

5 for Five Follow up

I'm just going to be honest --- this week, I'm not going to get anything accomplished, so why bother setting some goals? Tomorrow is Dyan's wedding and then it's work, work work.... and people are shopping so retail is hectic. But let's catch up on last week, why not?

1. Place Photo order with the wedding photography.
Failed.

2. Laundry - say again, I know~
Accomplished. If Eric would put it away!

3. Find a therapist - for Vulvodynia.
The doctor said she'd get back to me.

4. Stick to the budget.
Sort of.

5. Finish one of my books.
Yes! Finished the Mindy Project


In other news, I finished a goal from a few weeks ago! Check it! Finally got my wedding tree framed and up on the wall. Got it framed at Michaels. Cost way more than expected, but I'm happy with it!

America can take back Black Friday.

Let's take a look at last week... 

1.  spend 30 minutes on my meditation homework from MVP.

Alright, because I think the meditation homework is bullshit, this didn't happen. 

So far, I don't think it will happen. Meditation isn't going to help me. 

2.  try my physiotherapy homework at least once. 

Success. 

3. Cut back on the calories, and increase the good nutritious food

When I go to Vancouver, this fails. 

Failed. 

4. Take the dogs for one walk in the snow! 

Success. It took me an extra ten minutes to get them dressed in their booties, but it turned out to be a nice little walk. 

5. Finish the Dog Seat Cover for the Fitty

Because I declined to go to Fabricland (far away) - did not happen. 

So, This Week! 

1. GO TO FABRIC LAND AND FINISH SEWING PROJECTS

---- including the dog seat cover and puppy pee pads, along with my diy fem pads. 

2. PAINT AND SET UP THE OFFICE ROOM

3. CONTINUE TO TAKE DOGS FOR A WALK. TRY TWICE THIS WEEK. 

4. BRING OUT CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS, or at least find them.

5. FINALLY, AFTER MANY WEEKS, FINISH THE LAUNDRY. 

Aka have the bedroom floor be able to be found and all laundry baskets EMPTY. 

Wow, that sounds like quite a week. 

Further... I'd also like to encourage all of my American friends to VOTE!
