Do You Believe in New Years Resolutions?
I’m torn on that question. I don’t dislike them. But how often to I actually go through with them? It’s always the same ol’ “lose weight” etc. However, I do have some tangible goals that I will work towards. Maybe that’s the semantic I need to use….”working towards”. It doesn’t set me up for failure.
Here’s my first and foremost resolution/goal/challenge (I think I like the word challenge) Yes!! A challenge I’m working towards achieving! Okay, back to it:
My first 1/2 marathon is coming up. My goal is just to finish. I have a loose goal time of 2 hours 30 minutes. If you want to see which half marathon I’m doing, you can check it out here. I told myself years ago that if I ever did something crazy like run a 1/2 marathon, it would have to be at the beach. For some reason, I can run a lot longer when I have something pretty to look at! The sound of the waves and that seaside smell doesn’t hurt, either! And it seems like a pretty manageable course, too!

I'm gonna take one of these home with ME!
I would also like to start scrapbooking again. It’s something I truly enjoy doing. But it’s just hard when you have 2 little kiddos running around that always want to be into whatever you’re into. But I have that excuse no more…both of my kiddos are in school full time! Perfect opportunity, right? I surely can squeeze in some scrapping amidst the training I’m doing! Anyway, a fellow blogger named Christine has started a new business to help others scrap successfully! She is even giving away a free consultation to help you get started! Anyone can join, not just experienced scrappers or fellow bloggers. So if you are interested, visit her blog called Memories By Christine and check her out! I have some serious catching up to do!

My parents got me this book for Christmas...a hint?
Any other goals I’m working towards? Hmmmm, I’ll have to think about that one. What about you?
What challenges are you working towards achieving?











It’s ALWAYS the weight loss thing. My husband and I have started getting serious with it this week, and I really want to keep it up. So far, so good. But I like challenges better than resolutions. : )
Mine is the weight thing too. Urgh never good at that one!! Catching up on scrapbooking is the second and I am getting better at that one : ) if your interested in digital scrapbooking I recommend http://www.jessicasprague.com she is awesome teacher and cheap classes and soemtimes they are free you can even look under freebies to learn a few things and see how well she teaches her classes.
I have made some goals for myself for the next 4 months. They are not resolutions. If you’re interested, maybe I’ll post it on my community! Michell, thanks for the recommendation of Jessica Sprague. I will look into it!
Thank you for the shout out! Good luck with the giveaway and happy new year!
