can you stand the rain?
Status on resolutions...
1. haven't started exercising yet, due to temporary physical limitations, but definitely this week, possibly tuesday? i am eating healthy or organic foods for the most park, including lots of fruit
2. get a cool chair for my desk - not yet
3. get (or make) a cool lamp for my bedside table. - not yet
4. finish my picture frame wall. - YES! progress made, thought not completed...
5. finish paying down credit card debt. - i'm getting organized and making a financial plan for myself...
6. get straight As. - semester is off to a good start so far...
7. visit priya/family every two weeks. - watched 24 with reni-cha tonight. it was GREAT.
8. make effort on doing hair and makeup everyday. - not quite yet, but i will try for tomorrow morning.
9. polish fingernails and toenails weekly (sundays?). - not yet:(.
10. go to church. - nope.
11. learn a new word everyday. - yes! incongruous...
12. listen to/check out a new artist/band daily. - i would like to ammend this to to read "listen to a cd that i already own in its ENTIRETY." that's a little more important to me, i've realized.
i've started painting a base color on a canvas that i intended for bathroom art decor when i moved in; still debating how i should design it, but it should be finished that by this week. so yay for that. i set up my tv in my room, now that we have lauren's parents' big tv out in our living room. it's been super weird, but nice. also, i set up a wired contraption to store and display my dangly earrings, which is a nice addition to my closet. i brought to the apartment a new tapestry to use as a bed cover (from home, i bought it this past summer from urban outfitters) to give my room a fresh look for spring, and i love it. i've reorganized some parts of my room (not all, yet), but i like the way it's shaping up (6 months later, i know). also, i've finally purchased some posterboard to line my shoe rack so that i can put heels on it, like i originally intended, and i love that part of my room. it's great, now that i have a dealer named jesse in my life. a shoe dealer... get your mind out of the gutter!
i haven't made much progress on a lot of my goals, but for about a week in, out of 52, i'm ok with my progress. i'm mostly excited that i actually just finished a book that i started reading for pleasure; my friend natalie lent it to me. it's called unaccustomed earth, by jhumpa lahiri (you may remember her from such hits as the namesake). resolution 13 (though it actually has much higher priority) - read for pleasure a little bit each day...
i found this on youtube last night, and haven't really wanted to stop listening to it yet. definitely stuck in my head. when justin sings those lyrics, it's almost as if he's singing directly into my heart, i feel them so deeply. he positively amazes me. so enjoy.
