My January 2012 To Do List (And Goals Update)

If you couldn't tell by past posts I happen to be a huge fan of making lists. Seriously, I could make lists all freaking day long. I previously posted my 7 1/2 Goals in the hopes of accomplishing every single one of these items by the year's end. Did I cross off everything on that list? Unfortunately, no. I did floss my teeth every night, of which I am extremely proud. *cue bow* I also mailed out baked goods and postcards to Couch. I didn't finish An Omnivore's Dilemma but I did start and finish The Hunger Games (in January but I digress). Everything else, well, eh.

But it's a new year, new list. Instead of doing resolutions for a whole year I'm going to break it down by month. Enjoy!

January To Do List

• Continue sending out those resumes
• Work out 4-5 times each week
• Make one sweet recipe and one savory recipe from my Pinterest board
• Put together my old roommate's culmination of past Christmas and birthday gifts
• Sell old clothes on eBay
• Drop off other old clothes at Goodwill
• Read a new book
• Clean and organize bedroom
• Make one craft from Pinterest board
• Get through 5 movies that have been hanging out on my Netflix Instant Queue for the past 2 years
  

There. I think that should do for now. Since my birthday happens to be in a month I plan on rewarding myself come February 4. Coincidentally, my birthday happens to be the day before Jason Wu's Target collection debuts. Get excited!

Already Playing Catch Up

Geez louise, it's not even the first week of 2012 and I'm already behind on loads of items on my to-do list. I've spent the past 3 weeks out of town, celebrating the holidays and spending time with my boyfriend and his family. I'm finally back home and so looking forward to getting back into my routine. I figured I'd use this time to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by writing down my to-do list and turning it into a blog post for you. Let me know if you have any tips on getting things done more effectively.

• Blog post update on my 7 1/2 things in 7 1/2 weeks
• Finish 30 Rock before season premiere
• Send out more resumes/applications
• Sell loads of crap on eBay
• Finish the Hunger Games
• Watch the BBC Sherlock Holmes
• Unpack everything
• Do laundry
• Set up weekly gym schedule
• Finish reading Omnivore's Dilemma (clearly I did not accomplish that on my 7 1/2 things to do)
• Upload NYE pictures
• Put up my 2012 calendar
  
• Set up my "2012 Items to Accomplish" (I feel like if I call them resolutions it just sets me up for failure. I'm better listing them so as to check them off later.)

In other news, I finally set up my Pinterest account and am completely obsessed. Seriously. I have a problem. Maybe I should set up a Pinterest board on the things I wish to accomplish. Or maybe not.

2011 in a Nutshell

As you can see, I spent most of 2011 playing tourist while nom-ing and boozing with the best of people. All in all, it wasn't a bad year for me. Here's hoping 2012 brings about a reunion with these foolz on Couch. I love y'all and I am extremely thankful that you have each enriched my life.
