Two Thousand and Ten, Let's Go!

Welp, I survived yet another year! And I'm looking forward to what 2010 has to offer. My mission is to make this one more memorable. Don't get me wrong, some pretty great things happened in 2009, but I think I can do better.

I know New Years resolutions have kind of become something to scoff at, but I've made some resolutions for this year that I think I' might be able to stick to:

1) Take my vitamins!- lets be honest, I've never been a treadmill walking, spandex wearing, gym goer, but improving my health is something I do want to focus on. Vitamins are a more realistic goal for me.

2) Cook more- I'm staring off the new year fairly low on funds, so you are looking at Richmond's newest lunchbox toter! Tomorrow I will be digging out the crock-pot that has been submerged in my trunk for the past 2ish years and put it to use. Home made meals that last a few days? Oh my!

3) Productive days off- I've been working full time for about 3 months now, and since I no longer have classes taking up my days off, I can do whatever I want! The past few days off have been more like "Catie veg days" which have been vital in catching up on rest that i've been missing from the past 22 years of non-stop action and ambition. Some of the things I plan on working on: working on my book, sewing more and putting them on my Etsy shop, reading a lot more, creating new baked good recipes.

Pretty good list, huh? I'll let you know how it goes.

Here's hoping everyone had a wonderful New Years celebration!

Love.

Season's Greetings

Christmas is in 2 days, who would have thunk that this year would fly by as fast as it did?
Around this time of year I always evaluate where I was the year before. Last year, I was working for Nordstroms, taking some of my degree's core classes, I was single, and had some great friends.

This year, definitely had it's ups and downs, but there is no doubt that I came out on top. I landed myself a great job that I love, met some great people, became closer to my friends, got promoted AND graduated from college.

I have some high hopes for 2010. I am pretty much free to do whatever I want! Whether that means move to a bigger city, go back to school, start up my own company, fall in love, travel- who knows? I'm hoping all of the above, honestly (told you they were high).

Each year I find out more about myself, I'm excited to see what I learn next year.
