My 2012 To Do

I know it is a little late to do a New Year's post... But considering I was doing my birthday post around New Years and my birthday is in November, I think I am doing ok to be only one month behind... ;)

I like to think of this as a "To Do List" rather than "New Year's Resolutions"... Resolutions can and will be broken and then you get all down and depressed only to work yourself back up mid December and the whole process starts all over again... But lists are different... You can check things off of lists and have a wonderful feeling of accomplishment that motivates you to do the next thing on your list... I love lists... (the Michael's dollar bins are a wonderful outlet for list people... all those stinkin adorable note pads with matching notebooks!!!! :D)

I am also a notebook person... I have recently been introduced to moleskin journals... I just bought my first two at Target today... And they are pink... Happy early Singles Awareness Day to me!!! :D

Ok, anyway, back to my 2012 To Do List... This is a work in progress... Both in checking off and adding... So I think I will make a tab at the top of my blog for my ever evolving inventory of future  accomplishments... I have already done a couple of the things on my list as you will see below... I will mark them out as I do them... :)
