Goals for 2013

Granted my goal keeping last year ended up failing, I did set my goals a little too high last year (especially considering everything that happened). I went from having 3 jobs with varying hours to a fulltime teaching job and moved 3 times in 2012 (ew?) Now that I’m older and more grounded, I feel these will be easy to keep tabs on year round!

1-Earn $500 online

Through sales and online earning websites

2-Health/Beauty goals

This may be an odd goal. But, one of my goals is to be healthy. While some people say “I want to lose X pounds, I have no need to (I’m a size 0-2, so no worries there!), but I do want to get new classes, fix the cavity(ies) I have, stay active and fix my current health problem.

3-Buy 80 new wardrobe pieces

I love fashion (being the girly girl I am), but I often feel my wardrobe is lacking. I plan on expanding more (which I did last year) and learn to wear scarfs. Wardrobe pieces count for the typical clothing, but also accessories (purses, bags), shoes and earrings

4-Watch 70 new movies

More of a fun goal, but with so many movies coming out this year I want to see, this shouldn’t be too hard to do J

5-Everything out of my Parents House

Since I have my own townhouse now, I have ample room (sorta) to move everything out of my parents house and into my own home. Imight keep things like toys there, but otherwise my goal is to clean out my stuff. With my brother getting married in the next 2 years and looking to buy a house my parents may have more room than they know what to do with soon ;)

6-Read 100 books in a Year

I’ve failed for the last 4 years in a row. That being said…maybe this fourth attempt will be the charm?

7-Volunter or donate to 25 different causes/organizations

I love to volunteer nad be involved so my goal this year is to help out with at least 25 different causes or volunteer for 25 different things.

8-Keep Budget all year

I’m fairly good at keeping a budget. So no worries here J

9-Try 30 new recipes

I love to bake and cook and I hope to add at least 30 new recipes to my repritore this year. Last year I slacked off, but with more time thanks to a more flexble schedule nad less commuting time, this should be done quickly (at least I hope so!)

10-Make at least 20 crafts

I’m a crafty person and my skills in a variety of ‘crafty’ ways are growing with every month. I can knit, paint, do plastic canvas, sew and make simple stitch projects. I hope to make more this year, especially since I’m part of a knitting club J

11-Townhouse Goals

To be determined somewhat, but I do have a lot of things I want to do to my townhouse to make it more homely. With the purchase of a new couch, I’m one step closer, but I also want more wall hangings, a new bookshelf and possibly a bakers rack.

12-Trips and outings with friends

I hope to take more trips this year and have more outings with friends to said destinations. I plan on going to Richmond and Northern Virginia a few times,a trip to Maryland, a train ride and at least one undetermined trip out of state for vacation during the late spring/early summer months.
