New Years Resolutions for 2014

Here are my resolutions from last year, let's see how I did!

Emily resolves to...
  • Go on four dates per month Chad [Yes!]
  • Have an EeeBeeDee website with an integrated shop [Yes!]
  • Write two blog posts per week [No!]
  • Post 45 comics this year [No!]
  • Read 9 new books [No!]
  • Have 100 listings in Etsy shop [Yes!]
  • Sculpt and cast a resin toy [Yes!]
Overall, pretty okay (better than a 50% success rate).  The ones I failed, I REALLY failed.  I totally gave up on drawing comics and even deleted my comic website!  I may have averaged two blog posts all year!  

Here are my new goals!  

Emily resolves to...
  • Write one blog posts per week
  • Update name
  • Read 4 new books
  • Update website once per month
  • Get married
  • Do dishes at least every other day
  • Sell all America Girl dolls and accessories and all Disney pins
Trying to be better about updating the blog again.  I think one post a week is more manageable so I'm more likely to actually do it this time.  Also back is reading books but we've lowered it to the extremely sad 4 new books.  If I don't manage that I should probably be banned from libraries or something.  We had some debate over whether or not Chad and I could put "get married" on there.  We won in the end because even though we are definitely going to accomplish it, it is going to take up a huge chunk of our time!  The really big project on here is selling all of my American Girl dolls and Disney pins.  I think it's possible, I sold over 50 things on ebay last month, but I have SO many more things that need to be put up.  

Okay one blog post down, at least 51 to go!

New Year's Resolutions

Hey!  I still exist!  And I'm actually going to start updating the blog regularly now!  I know I have said, "I'm going to update more frequently now, I promise!" about 8 billion times and always fail to follow through... but this time I'm for realz because if I don't Chad's family will berate me next New Year's Eve.

Chad's family gathers at his aunt and uncle's house on the Wisconsin River to celebrate the new year.  They all make resolutions and then judge people on how well they completed them the next year. The goals have to be measurable, within a time constraint and achievable, so they need to be pretty specific.

Here are the goals I made for next year:

  • Go on four dates per month Chad
  • Have an EeeBeeDee website with an integrated shop
  • Write two blog posts per week
  • Post 45 comics this year
  • Read 9 new books
  • Have 100 listings in Etsy shop
  • Sculpt and cast a resin toy
See?  I have to write two blog posts a week or I face certain humiliation from boyfriend and family members.  I think I can totes get all of these!  The hardest one is going to be writing that many comics.  I'm pretty excited about sculpting and creating a resin toy as it is something I have always wanted to do!  So let's start 2013, it's going to be a great year!
