A new blog for new adventures

Bonjour, friends and family! I have previously had a blog that I only wrote on once or twice a year. I am creating a new blog in hopes that a new blog will inspire me to blog more; you know, the whole turning over a new leaf?

My new blog will be dedicated to updates on my life ( this will probably only be interesting to a few people, but since we are moving away from a lot of family soon they may appreciate it ), new places I explore, food I make, music I listen to, things I read, and really whatever I feel like! Just a great place to throw whatever is on my mind. Read it, hate it, ignore it, enjoy it, whatevs :)

My first blog post will be a great reference point for me in the future and I play to refer back to it periodically. I want to share a few goals I am working on and hopefully as time goes by I can report back to you, wonderful world wide web, and let you know how well/badly I am doing. Some of these are really silly, but even small things need goals sometimes.

Goals for 2013

(an unfinished list)

1. Complain less and do more: I've noticed since getting married that I am much more needy and lazy than I was as a single gal. This love thing got to my head and I learned that my good husband will cater to my needs when I complain (he is just too good to me!). I took advantage of this and have learned to be a whiny butt-head. I hate this about me! I want to stop this habit before it gets worse and start taking care of myself and my problems. This is a win win for me and my husband. 
2. No dishes in the sink before bedtime: I hate how messy my kitchen gets and it usually starts with me getting lazy after cooking and not doing the dishes. If I could just get my sink cleaned out each day I think I would be more inclined to keep the whole kitchen clean. 
3. Spend less on food: I don't have a lot of self-discipline when it comes to food. I spend more than I want to admit on treats and fun food. I could save so much money if I just drank a glass of water every time I wanted a Carmelo. 
4. Be more social: Once upon a time I was a pretty social girl and made friends easily. Over the last few years I have found myself become more and more reserved. Meeting new people scares me and getting to know new people makes me wet my pants a bit. This doesn't seem like a very healthy situation. My goal is to push myself outside of these comfortable lines and talk to those around me. Get off my computer and go talk to my neighbors, take a risk and ask someone I know to do something with me, or invite current friends to do something. I am such a hermit I rarely even check in with my current friends. They are always the ones to contact me or invite me over. This is not okay! Relationships are reciprocal and if I don't start putting in an effort I will lose the few friends I do have. Oi vey! 

My list is pretty small but these are important to me and will be hard for me to work on. Wish me luck! 

Good night Blog world! See you soon.
