It's cold outside! Oh right, it's winter, and finally feeling that way. With no snow and temperatures fluctuating between summer and fall on a daily basis, it was easy to forget that it was December, which is probably why the holiday season basically slipped past me before I had a chance to prepare. Now that it's January, and many of the projects and responsibilities consuming my time before the New Year are over with, I've been enjoying more time on my couch, hiding under piles of warm blankets, making plans for the year ahead and soaking up a little bit of this certainly short-lived calm.
Things I'm obsessed with:: week one of 2012:
...voluspa candles
...making coffee in the morning before i go to work (groundbreaking idea!)
...my (mostly) clean apartment
...mindy kaling's book
...the moccasin slippers anthony gave me for my birthday and i have worn every day since
A few resolutions for the new year:
...make more time for creativity. Photo-taking, craft-making, blogging, painting, decorating and more.
...drink more water and mix up my work out plan. Doesn't everyone's New Year Resolution list contain some sort of fitness goal? Though they may be oft-neglected, I still think it's worthwhile to include plans for your health in your fresh start each new year. My goals for 2012 include a little more yoga and maybe some strength training.
...keep working on becoming a correspondence queen. I love receiving mail, and I love prettying up a card or package to send off to someone else. Each year I get just a pinch better at sending birthday and thank you cards, and getting gifts in the mail on time; I consider this one a lifelong goal.
...work harder than ever, get into grad school and start acting on those career goals.
