day thirty

Whatever tickles your fancy

This wraps up my 30 day challenge journey! It was fun, although I wasn't very consistent in posting. I think I'll be looking for another blog challenge to complete throughout January (maybe one a month? Ha, I crack myself up); sounds both fun and torturous!

For this last day, I'm going to just provide a link to my Flickr--as a part of my New Year's Resolutions, I decided I'm going to attempt the 365 project for both self portraiture and general photography. As if either wasn't overly ambitious on its own.

Wish me luck! I already had a close call with Jan 1st's self portrait, but I'm determined to try and make this work...eep.


I also realized today that in addition to my current NYRs, I'm going to add:

18 | No lying down with the laptop, and minimize use of laptop on bed (which I currently am doing...)

19 | Do homework and read books while sitting in a chair, unless deliberately trying to fall asleep.

I have a problem with utilizing my bed to its fullest...ie sitting on it absolutely all the time, whether eating or doing homework or reading. Not only is this horrible for my already-deteriorating posture, it creates this huge crater in my bed. Which sucks. And seeing 2011 is a major savings year (with my brother on his "own" at grad school, this is the first year in four and the only gap in nine total years that we won't be paying for college tuition), I probably won't get a new bed or mattress, which I was hoping for :(.

But anyway, today was relatively quiet. I didn't exercise (poo) due to the early closing time and fact that I fell asleep while reading a required book. However, R&R is always nice, and I can pardon myself, seeing it's the New Year :).

However, I do need to go to sleep now and start being super efficient in everything I do. Thus, bye for now!

day twenty-nine

Hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days

Look, I made it just in time for New Year's Day! :) Hopefully I'll finish this blog post before the ball drops--I'm so psyched!

Nonetheless, here are my resolutions:

2011

1 | read through the Bible

2 | exercise on a routine basis

3 | learn to cook

4 | clean my room every other week

5 | donate old clothing, really whittle down closet

6 | drink more water, less soda and tea, and eat more fruit

7 | work on bad habits

8 | organize and upload photos on a normal basis

9 | read a book every month

10 | blog weekly, if not more (start using lookbook?)

11 | be more open with my faith

12 | knit and/or sew something

13 | practice the guitar every other day, if not daily--also, work on singing

14 | use the computer less/go outside more, and keep up my relationships with friends

15 | take Abu on more walks; once every weekend, at least

16 | love God, love others, love myself

17 | be happy :)

I'm actually pretty satisfied with this year and my life at the moment, but there's always more and simple things to strive for, no?

Happy New Year's, everyone! Cheers and God bless.
