2013

it may seem that i'm late to the resolution party. i probably am. so instead of a resolution, i'll just make some plans for what i hope to accomplish this year.

this is something the geek suggested i do a couple years ago. instead of focusing on changes i wanted to make, he said i should focus on what i want to do, see, and eat. the outcome was more interesting than successful...while i didn't accomplish many things from the list, i did enjoy reflecting on my optimistic plans and intentions from the start of the year.

this year, i hope to look back in amazement at how much i've accomplished. i'll cheer as i triumphantly check items off the list.

a more likely scenario would find me, at the end of the year, scratching my head and wondering what i was thinking when i wrote some of the items in the first place.

  1. spend an afternoon exploring a new seattle neighborhood with the geek.
  2. take a weekend trip to canada.
  3. go on a hike.
  4. learn to brush the dog's teeth.
  5. learn to make butter mochi.
  6. get out the ice cream maker and make a batch of ice cream.
  7. invite friends over for a shabu shabu party.
  8. cook something southern.
  9. find a way to make brussel sprouts delicious.
  10. sew something. anything.
  11. purge my closet.
  12. learn to use chopsticks with my left hand.
  13. go to the zoo.
  14. go to a festival.
  15. curate my bookshelves.
  16. decorate a wall.
  17. plant a tree. or bush. or shrub.
  18. read the odyssey.
  19. organize the pots and pans.
  20. try a new cuisine.
with only 342 days left this year, i better get to work on these right away!
