I met personal hero Hoda
and not least of all I hit 30, with the most fantastic, personalized celebration a girl could imagine.
No complaints at all, but everyone wishes for bigger and better as the ball dropping nears, even if we try not to make a big deal of New Year's. And since, as a molder of young minds, I've learned to accept the importance of setting goals [esp in writing] and planning to achieve them, here are some of my wishes:
-I want to write more. Whether it's this blog, or the Buster book, I need to work at it. I've always felt I had a knack for it, and if someone can get paid to write captions about owls that look hungover, well then...
-I'm really proud of all the crafts I've created lately, but I'd like to focus in on something and get really good at it, maybe even make some etsy sales. Knitting could be it...we'll see
-I'd like to spend less time relaxing my body (downgrade from 3 to 2 naps per Saturday?) and more time relaxing my mind. Could I really do a half marathon???
I'll be ringing in the new year with my closest high school friends--a low key gathering at the same place as many of our high school parties. In the past 12 months, they've gotten pregnant, gotten engaged, gotten married... I feel so blessed to have shared all of this and start the year with them as we continue to grow up. Here's hoping some of those milestones extend to me this year!
