1/1/12: twenty twelve started out by living up to my every expectation: hanging out by the pool in shorts. we got a late start, so we missed the sun, but still. 

1/2/12: i am the bag lady of bag ladies. i consider myself relatively low maintenance, but somehow i always have so. much. stuff. this is just what i took out of my car from the last 2 days! 

1/3/12: josie and i rekindled our photo-walk-lovefests with an after work photo shoot today. ever since we’ve switched to holiday hours she and i have been woefully on different schedules but today we collided! 

1/4/12: tried out nontra’s new digital polaroid while at her place for pooltime on sunday. not quite the same as the real deal, but still fun to hang on the fridge :)

1/5/12: spent the evening with moby dick. its been a touch and go relationship. it started off really funny, which i wasn’t expecting, but it keeps drifting into kind of dull parts that i have to force myself through. 

1/6/12: happy hour! i missed this the last few weeks. i work for an awesome company.

1/7/12: i worked saturday this week too, but it wasn’t terrible. i was sleepy from going out a little the night before and the day kind of drug on, but we still had some fun. 

i’m not usually a big resolution maker. i usually feel like if there is a change to be made, just make it in the moment - why wait for new years? but this year i have a lot of projects i want to do and things that just need to happen, so i figured i’d write them down to keep myself accountable.

• a photo a day, which should be a cinch, but i want to give it some focus so i don’t end up with 365 pictures of my feet. 
• a painting a week. i’ve gotten so off track with my paintings and they’re the whole reason i even started the blog! i eventually want to do a craft fair, so i need to build up my inventory. 
• “wish you were here” feature. a little something i’ve been dreaming up in my head. i’ve tried features before, but those have been out of my comfort zone and ended up not getting off the ground. this one will be totally doable all on my own.
• lose at least 1 size. for the most part, i’m comfortable with the way i look, but i’m much happier when i’m smaller. it just feels better, obvi.
• blog redesign/organization. one thing i am NOT comfortable with is the way my blog looks. i’m so dissatisfied with it, and it gives me a ton of anxiety. this will be a tough one.
• write everything down. since college, i’ve almost always carried a little notebook with me and written down every single piece of important information or just ideas and to-do lists. lately i’ve misplaced this habit and i really need to get it back.

that’s it for now. marshall and i were talking about it on new years eve, and i know there were more, but these are the biggies. we also have some fun projects planned together that i’m pretty excited about and can’t wait to share. i have a feeling this will be a great year.
