New Year new you
Jan. 2nd, 2011 12:06 pmSo last year has been quite a wild one for me. From highs of the previous year before to the lows shortly after, from comfort and relative happiness to confusion and chaos. Last year has been needed and good for the most part even if it has had it's sad moments. But now it's a new year and things have got to be better than the last.
I would go through new years resolutions but it seems every year I never do them so here are a few things I'd like to do and some things I will do in the coming year.
Things I will do:
Move - I don't know where (eg somewhere else in Chicago or DC area) but I will be moving out of the condo this year. It more for the fact that Jason and I really need to separate our lives and I don't think it will fully happen until I move out.
In truth that's pretty much the only thing I know I will do. I'm pretty settled on the idea of moving to DC area and basically only one thing will really get me to stay in this city. I do have to admit I will miss all my friends here, but in the end I don't know if they'd even notice if I was gone or not.
Things I want to do:
Get a car - If I am to move to DC I need transit. I think this is going to be something that should be in the will do pile but... only if I move kind-of thing. Would love to find an element again but it wouldn't have to be that. I have a good friend though that will help me find something I like that's in good shape though.
Get a new Job - This is also contingent on the move and also a thing that almost should be in the will do pile. As much as I like my current job I really don't feel there is much left for me there. There are no more challenges and no more real growth potential. Besides I really want to do something that I fully enjoy or at least slightly enjoy.
Get on a better diet/Loose weight - This one is one that I add every year and well... here it is again. I am tired of being 240lbs and I want to be able to fit more clothes. That and I just want to be able to look in the mirror and not cringe.
Learn to sew or get off my ass and do something - Okay on the second half of that I have been accomplishing it, but not related to sewing or things I want to accomplish. I have been going out more and hanging out with friends which has truly improved my outlook on a lot of things.
As for getting around to sewing. I want to but I feel very inexperienced. What I really want to or should do is take some sewing classes to make me feel at least I can do something on my own before tackling the machine itself. But then again I keep thinking it's all just excuses to not do it. I really don't know why I can't just sit down and do it.
I think those are about it. I do know this year is all about change for me and one way or another I am going to make improvements in my life to make it better.
