Hello stranger, do you remember me? (Wow doesn’t that come off creepy!) It’s been two years since I last posted on my blog. Two years ago this blog had gone through an identity crisis; every 3 months the domain name changed along with the focus that I wanted this blog to have. It took me some time to step back and really think about what I wanted to do with this blog. At first I wanted to be a pure fashion blog, then a pure sewing blog, thrifting, sewing, consumerist beauty, natural beauty, etc! But in the end, why would it matter if my blog had a specific theme? In the end, it’s MY blog.
So….. what am I getting at?
Bluntly said, I am going to post whatever I want! Pretty much anything that will get me to post more: memories I’ve had traveling, conversations, recipes, makeup tips, crap I bought. ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! This blog is a medium for me to share what’s happening with my life to my loved ones down in SoCal. I know, I know, SoCal is not that far away from NorCal but I wanted to leave a footprint so that maybe the shy long-lost friend will know that I’m doing just dandy. 🙂
And what I want to post with you today, is a list that is special to me. I’ve been doing these birthday goals on-and-off since I turned 22 years old and I’m back on again with a list of things I want to do before I turn the dirty thirty (why is it so dirty?).
1. Run a 10k
2. Run a Half Marathon
3. Run a Full Marathon
4. Get to a healthy weight

10. Do 100 burpees in a row
11. Hold a plank for 5 minutes

30. Buy a house OR have a baby
Now that you’ve reached the bottom of this list, note that there are a few goals that are very ambitious. I’m sure that by the time I turn 30 I won’t accomplish them but I hope to make really good progress towards it.
…you are darn right that I will post progress here. ^_^

I think if you believe in yourself you can accomplish much…just don’t sweat if you don’t accomplish them all. I have a book I write 9 things I want to accomplish that day (because there are nine spaces…lol) whether it’s brush my teeth to writing a pen pal to homeschooling my nephew that day…I check off what got done. If something didn’t I don’t beat myself up I say I’ll try for it tomorrow and it goes in the list again. 🙂 good luck!!!
