2010.

I would say I'm pretty ready for 2010. The last 10 years have been quite the adventure, and it went by SO fast!..scary fast.

So I'm gonna share my new years resolutions, hoping that since I am not keeping them all to myself this time, I'll actually stick with it.

Ok, here we go.

* get a job. (...seems to be harder than I ever imagined it would be)

* get a gym membership. again. (...I would need some income to pay for a membership. hah.)

* eat less sugar.

* take more pictures. (my d300 is so lonely)

* dye my hair a fun colors again.

* travel more. (what the hell happened to me?)

* knit another pair of socks.

* buy some rain boots.

* be more patient.

* learn how to cook tofu. (I always screw it up)

Happy New year!

Hey hey, Silje!

Love your blog and as a fellow knitter, I'm constantly inspired by your creations.

My resolutions this year are...

- cook more
- learn to crochet
- hike more (I live right by the Rocky Mountains. There's no excuse!)
- learn to snowboard

Hope you have a great 2010! Looking forward to seeing more of your creative ventures!

My resolution for 2010 is to craft more! 2009 was way too busy - so I am going to dedicate more "me" time in 2010!

Meg said...

I posted my goals on my blog the other day, i also wrote it down so that i can check them off as i reach them! http://mytwistedtree.blogspot.com/2009/12/goals-for-2010-personal-and-creative.html
Basically I want to be a better, more creative wife and mother in 2010!
Have a Happy New Year!
xoxo~Meg

cute cute cute

Nicole said...

I want to work out more
learn to knit
Sew more
take more photographs
Be a more patient wife

and the number one thing (the thing that kept me from accomplishing these goals in 2009) is to not be so burnt out and stressed from work that I don't do anything with my weeknights!

Holly Smith said...

One thing on my list is to make more time for crafting - or possibly to use my time better.
Cute soaps :)

Sarah M said...

double Yay on the travelling! We could not take a vacation this past year and I get the travelling itch about every 6 months! It's been torture. Our biggest goal this year:
Move back to Vancouver, BC!!!

I hope to learn more about the rest of the world. Resolution number one- read 5 books about China. Then on to Iceland, Greece, etc.

Jessica S. said...

My goal for the new year is to be creative more often. I check scrapbooking and art blogs everyday and love to look at scrapbooking magazines, but when it comes to actually making things I slack. So this year I hope to change that and use the beautiful things I have seen to help inspire me to make some myself! :]

Jennifer said...

Ditto on the tofu!

My resolution is just one: slow down. Worry less, enjoy more.

Happy new year's!! :)

stephanieesstar said...

My goal is to become more of a positive person. I've always been pretty pessimistic, but just now is it really starting to weigh on me. I need to take notice of all the great little things that happen around me and bring myself out of this funk! Because it's no fun for my husband or my friends!

Alyssa Franchetti said...

1. Find a new job
2. Finish my arm sleeve
3. Make my new apartment really beautiful
4. Take more photos/blog more consistently
5. Don't let boys make me cry

Cate said...

I've only thought of a couple so far, but they might be work enough for the year. :) I want to start and finish a 30 day Bikram yoga challenge, and I want to take a photo a day. And knit more.

Happy new Year!!

ashley h. said...

(Have you tried making scrambled tofu with soy chorizo? Crumble firm tofu, dump some turmeric, salt, lemon juice and lots of nutritional yeast in there, then add veggies and soyrizo and keep sauteeing until it gets nice and (a little) crispy.)

My goal is to be more physically active during the week. And to get over my fear of driving so I can get my license..

Erin Alaska said...

I just did my top ten for 2010
1. travel more: in and out of Alaska
2. Hike more...especially Mt. Roberts...I think I can, I think I can!
3. get more tattoos (sorry mom & dad) ;)
4.Start doing yoga again, and possibly teaching too.

Godt nyttår! Jeg har en liste med mål og planer, ikke akkurat forsetter men ja.. :) Blogget listen min her:

http://noraraaum.blogspot.com/2010/01/happy-new-year.html


* Learn to knit.
* Make our apartment cuter.
* Go hiking in the Norwegian mountains with my dad and little sister in the summer. This makes it necessary to go to the gym more often too, since I need to be in better shape before the hike if I am to survive ^^
* Read!
* Photograph more. I wanna try analog film again too and I'm probably gonna take a dark room class to learn how to develop my own photos.
* Be a good student when I start my masters degree in Informatics.
* Dye my hair.
* Go to concerts. Already have tickes for Hatebreed and Machine Head January 29th :)
* Spend time with my boyfriend this spring as he might move far away come summer because of his education.

You have to visit the Office site, they have the cutest rain boots right now!

Ah! Look at the PONY ones, and the roses! So fancy.

My goals are always unreasonable. Dance like Usher, learn to do cartwheels on my right hand, take pictures of myself trying to do this, don't accidentally scrape silverware on plates in restaurants and make everyone around me want to stab their ears out etc.

Unknown said...

You have such a cute blog.

Jessa said...

Happy New Year!
Your blog is fun!

I want:
-take at least one picture/day
-sew at least once/week
-improve my knitting skills
-be a fun person to be around, even when I don't feel like it :)

<3

Melissa McP said...
