Anthologie: 2013 Goals

It's no secret - I love new years resolutions/goals.?? Here are my goals for 2013:

1.?Movie List!

This is a carryover from 2012.? I WILL FINISH THIS LIST!? Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, Some Like it Hot, Ordinary People, The Sting, Unforgiven, BUtterfield8, The Long Hot Summer.

2.? Book List!

I am changing it up a bit this year.? I will still have my numerical goal (35) but I also want to try to read some of the books that I have on my shelf but have not read.? I hoping to read one book from my home bookshelf per month.? (The majority of the books I read are for book clubs that I am in.)

3.? Run 500 miles!

Last year I started keeping a running log at the end of February, something I never did if I was not training for something.? The final tally was 437.? This year, armed with my new Garmin Forerunner 10, I hope to get to 500.? I would like to do more races this year as well.? Last year I did three.? This year, I'm hoping to do six.

4.?? Date Night!

Nate and I figured out that we went on TWO dates in 2012, by ourselves.? We rationalize that we have from 7-10pm every night to ourselves so we do not go out.? What really happens during that time is that we will watch tv or I will exercise/read/craft while he watches tv.? Not really "quality together time"!? Our goal is to go on a date once a month - by ourselves.? (We're really good at group dates, apparently.)? We are using the City Tin as motivation for this.

5.? Organization! Nate does not read nearly enough magazines, apparently, because he was looking for some shelving for the basement and commented, "Organization must be a new years resolution thing, huh?? Everything is on sale!".? :)? I have a few organization related goals this year:

????????????? 5a: Use the Samples!

We will not be buying any beauty products, shampoo, soap, conditioner, toothpaste, etc until all samples in our closet are gone.? I did this a few years ago and it was glorious.? Looks like my stash is back up and it's time to do it again.? This year I am going to really do it with makeup and hair supplies as well - so if you see me wearing some wack-a-doo makeup or with bad hair, you will know why.

???????????? 5b: Organize play room/basement!

Last month, I started packing up baby toys, and organizing the designated play areas in our house - namely we have tried to move most of Maggie's toys to either the upstairs or downstairs play room to avoid tripping over her crap.? Our basement has a finished side and an unfinished side.? There is a huge closet, with cubed shelving on the finished side that is packed with random assortment of stuff.? We would like to move this stuff to shelving on the unfinished side and use the closet for toys, etc.? We have actually already started this and Nate bought two giant shelving units for the unfinished side of the basement!?

The unfinished side of the basement is quite shocking when you open the door.? Wrapping paper, boxes, decorations, old baby stuff...you name it, it is strewn about.? This year, I am organizing it!

?????????? 5c.? Craft purge!

I have resolved to not purchase any fabric or craft supplies (ahem, yarn!)?until my stash at home is significantly lessened.?

6.? Room Redux!

There are a couple of rooms in our house that we have not done much with, which i would like to remedy this year.? We have actually already started working on this as well.

????? 6a:? Maggie's room!
I would like to start to transition Maggie's room to a toddler room this year.? Last weekend we moved her changing table out of her room, which has greatly improved things.? She still sleeps in a crib, and will as long as she is content, but I have been looking for a bed for her.? It would be nice to actually paint her room as well.

?????? 6b:? Our room!
Our room has been a crap hole since we moved in.? We did not really think about where to put the furniture when we had the movers there and since it is really heavy we just left it.? You may recall that we decided to purchase a king sized bed for our room for our fifth anniversary.? We finally purchased the bed yesterday!?? Last weekend, we also rearranged our room and hung some things on the wall.?? While not completely done, it looks loads better.?

???? 6c:? Dining room!
We do not use this room on a daily basis so it is easy to overlook it.? It still has this really ugly swag curtain from the former owners.? I would like to hang some stuff on the walls in here and get a new curtain.

????6d:? Craft side of the toy room!
We have a huge L-shaped room over our garage.? The big portion of the room is designated as a toy room for Maggie (and also houses our desktop computer).? The small portion of the room is my craft space....otherwise known as the black hole of craft supplies.? Nate helped me organize my fabric by color last year but the stacks have not moved.? I would like to get a closet organization system of some sort for the closet in this room to store this stuff.

7.? Try something new once a month!
This could be anything - a new type of food, a new exercise, learning a new hobby (although I really do not need those!), etc.? I really enjoy learning and trying new things and so I would like to try to make an effort to do so more often.? I already have signed up for a photography class in February and Nate & I are signed up for a snowshoeing and dinner thing with Braise restaurant for February.? Off to a good start!

So that's my list for 2013!? I'll try to update monthly as I did last year.? What are your new years resolutions?
