29 in 2012
Alright. Here is my 29 in 2012 list. Let's do this.
1. Go to the Farmer's Market in the summer to buy fresh produce, rather than the grocery store.
2. Read two books a month (on average) (6/24)
1. Smokin' Seventeen - Janet Evanovich
2. The Forgotten Garden - Kate Morton
3. Mini Shopaholic - Sophie Kinsella
4. The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
5. Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins
6. The Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins
3. Make banana bread and chocolate chip banana muffins with the surplus of bananas I have in my freezer
Have made one loaf of banana bread and a double batch of muffins
4. Travel somewhere I haven't been before
5. Try one new recipe a week [on average] (7/52)
1. Banana loaf
2. Chocolate chip banana muffins
3. Shrimp curry
4. Curry soup
5. Spicy noodle soup
6. Slow cooker ginger chicken
7. Polenta fries
6. Make a recipe book of ones I often use/love
7. Abstain from buying any alcohol for a month, both at home and going out (for money saving reasons).
8. Do a major cull of my possessions/clothing
9. Get back down to my pre-shoulder surgery weight - which means ten pounds - and be more conscious in maintaining once there
10. Attend an event of some sort on my own. (This thought terrifies me but I know it also holds me back from meeting new people.)
11. Set aside 15 minutes a day for cleaning so that it doesn't pile up. Even if it's just organising my recycling. (I know this doesn't sound huge but I tend to let things pile up, then get overwhelmed and leave it longer, and then when I finally deal with it I pay for it physically)
12. Learn more about the manual settings on my camera. Practice them.
13. Blog more frequently and openly about living with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
14. Take lunch to work at least four times a week.
15. Buy a pair of boots I love and can walk in comfortably.
16. Go to six shows - concerts or theatre (0/6)
17. Buy and perfect wearing (liquid?) eyeliner.
Have perfected pencil eyeliner. Or at least perfected in my eyes!
18. Be more diligent with my eye drops so that I can wear my contacts more frequently again.
19. Make a cheesecake.
20. Get more proactive about my health, including dental and optical.
21. Get dressed up for no other reason than I feel like it, and don't feel self conscious if others around me are in jeans.
22. Stop making excuses for other people, and allowing myself to be used by fair weather friends.
23. Grow some veggies or herbs this summer. Cilantro specifically, and perhaps green onions.
24. Get a working visa for the UK.
25. Finish setting up my Etsy shop.
26. Quit dressing like I still work at the Running Room every day. On occasion, sure. But no more running shoes to hair appointments.
27. Make a pie once a month to use up the Saskatoon berries in my freezer. Share with others.
28. Plan at least one social outing/get together per week. I tend to hermit too much.
29. Plan something fantastic for my 30th birthday (which is a week after 2012 ends)
