New Year's goals
Not resolutions--I'm not necessarily resolved to doing these, but if I have time, I should get my tush out the door and do these.
1) Swim more! I've been really bad about getting exercise other than Hapkido, and I miss swimming.
2) Go to every Hapkido practice I'm in town for. I'll be missing the belt test and a lot of classes due to interviews, and I'm hoping to still get to green belt by the following belt test (probably in May), so I need to maximize and work hard for the practices I do attend.
3) Not injure myself! (See numbers 1 and 2.) <--This one is a resolution!
Happy vacation times
Going to SF with Pam and Zack, and finally getting to visit 826 Valencia (aka the pirate supply store).
Barefoot Coffee with Tara.
Hiking with Min at Rancho San Antonio, catching up with this hard-to-find chica and exploring a new hiking place.
Dinner party with Min, Pam, Zack, and Janna, followed by a cookie-baking and truffle-making party.
Dinner with dushai and elissali, and working on my rusty (but tasty) cooking skills.
Fun New Year's Eve party at Brian's parents' house.
Tomorrow and Saturday: who knows?
