1 January 2013

Oh, hello 2013!

Happy New Year!  I really hope you all had an amazing time seeing out the old year and in with the new.



Now onto opening up my 2013 diary! I love this time of year. And then, onto settling on a couple of new years resolutions. I always make a few little ones which (like many people I'm sure) I rarely think about after the 2nd of January. And I've realised why... They're boring! The good intentions are there, sure, but they are always dull, dull, dull. Resolutions-past have been; Be nicer to strangers, lose weight, drink less coffee, swear less, exercise more. Zzzzzzzzz.

I already have a whole heap of things I want to get do within the next 14 months, so, in 2013, I have promised myself some fun and interesting resolutions. I challenge you all to do the same! I've gone with 3 very precise goals. Here they are:


          - Go Camping - I LOVE camping, but I haven't done it in years. We were given a brand new tent a while ago that we still haven't used. It'd be fun to go to a National Park with our bikes for a weekend. Take a little stove to cook soup, and corn on the cob. I can't wait.

         -  Build a Dining Table - After seeing Elsies beautiful DIY table, I am inspired (desperate) to build my own. Did I mention before that Dixon bought me a drill? Well, I'm yet to use it so this is the perfect project. And maybe I'll actually have a dinner party I've been meaning to have for ages. I also want to make wine/beer racks.

         - Swim! - I have dreams about swimming all the time. I love the feeling, but I really don't do it enough (if at all, come to think of it). I'd love to go swimming in a huge lake, but I'll start in the pool.  I've read that swimming is great for asthmatics so there are extra benefits. I have a new swim suite too!

I will also be working on a whole heap of other achievements. As well as focusing on: this blog, fitness and finance.

So, what are your fun resolutions going to be? I really hope 2013 is the best one yet for all of you, your friends and family. I can't wait to see what it brings.

  1. I love the Moleskine diaries! I got the little prince one to use.

    Whenever I've had issues with joints, swimming has been recommended. I have asthma and always feel better after swimming.

  3. I wrote up my fun, no pressure goals and posted them yesterday. I'm all about fun goals instead of daunting ones for New Year's resolutions. Who needs all that pressure at the start of the year. Why not give yourself things to look forward to! Right!!

    Great goals. I hope you swim, DIY and camp it up this year.
