Back From Holiday!

So, if you haven't already noticed.....I took the month of December off from blogging. December was a whirlwind of a month, and there was just so much that went on!!! Well I am back, and I am ready to get this 2011 year of blogging started.

What better way to start off the year of blogging than to go over some things that I wish to accomplish this year. This list is not set in stone, I am a procrastinator who tends not to accomplish things placed on lists. This year,  I will loosely list some things that I think I could reasonably accomplish during a one year span. My only hope is that a few of these get checked off. (Please note that none of the things below talk about working out, that is just the most depressing resolution.):

1.) Read! Read! Read!!!!! I think reading is good for the soul, and I am setting out to read at least one book a month or 12 books this year. First on my list is Abraham Verghese's, Cutting For Stone. ( Ok. To be honest, I started the book in 2010 but I am only half way through.)

2.) Improve my geography skills. If I am going to be an ancient mariner, I need to know more about the world. Step 1, learn all the countries of the world and be able to place them on a map.

3.) Continue to make new friends here in Denver and build upon my relationships with the friends I have. Yes friends, that means many many 2011 adventures for us!

4.) Men.

5.) Learn how to do things on my own. First step, move into my own apartment and decorate it. Just like I don't cook , I don't really decorate...so this could be interesting.

6.) Get a passport....this will be my first step to traveling.

7.) Do something I have never done before. I know its vague, but I don't make plans:)

8.) Buy a bicycle.

9.) Plan myself an amazing 28th birthday party.

10.) Pay off all of my credit card debt!

These will be some of the stepping stones for my 2011 year. It may not seem like a lot, but these are just some of the many things I want to do. Although I can't forget, one of my top priorities is still staying on the good side of the universe. So here's to the new year, lets see where 2011 takes me!
