four simple goals...

This entry is inspired from this blog I enjoy, A Beautiful Mess <-- Click that link right there to check it out. The general gist if you don't want to read the original post is to create four simple goals you want to accomplish before 2011. First of all when did it get so close to 2011, it just became 2010?! Second of all this is really rad and I'm totally inspired by the challenge. It's perfect timing with my "grown up" life starting in Harrisonburg. Here are my goals in no particular order of importance:

1) Start an inspiration wall. I've wanted one of these bad boys for awhile and moving into a new place is such a fantastic time to start one. Since my apartment is completely empty right now, minus an air mattress and Marcela (my mac) and Regg, I have all of the walls to choose from!

2) Try out 5 new recipes a month. This one is probably going to be the hardest one, but since the extent of my current cooking involves mainly breakfast foods (cereal, pancakes, eggs) and pasta the options for new recipes are pretty wide, but putting the effort in is going to be tough. So if you want to join me for dinner sometime to make this one more fun let me know, oh or if you have any suggestions of stuff I should attempt too!

3) Go on a picnic at that newish playground in Harrisonburg. I've wanted to go there forever and just haven't and who doesn't love picnics! Maybe even a night time picnic! Ohhh and I could take some of my new recipes with me on this adventure. Or I could have little kid foods since it's a playground. Anyway this is just for funzies and I'm still a little girl even though I have a grown up job now.

4) Buy a watch. I really want a neon watch or a white watch that has links & isn't rubbery. Weird I know, but I think they're cool. Maybe one like this! I just have to get around to committing to the search.

These are my four simple goals to have complete by the end of 2010! I'll keep you posted on the progress. I also found this blog because she was inspired by the four simple things too. She makes a list of things to do for the year on her birthday according to her age, so a list of 24 things to do when I'm 24 is soon going to be added to this blog in September! I guess I'm just really into goal setting right now? It's a cool way to think about what you're doing with your life! So if you want to join in the fun let me know.

Tootles,
