I like goals.

June 28th, 2010 by admin

Without clear goals, I get aimless and start to loathe myself and my life.  I like always feeling that I’m working towards something – that way I can’t sit around and complain about the present or dwell on the past.  Not that I really have all that much to complain about, but I prefer to keep things moving and improving.  I plan to set and maintain my goals here, which will hopefully help me accomplish them sooner (and inspire me to set new and interesting ones).

Goals:

1) Learn how to cook 3 Korean Dishes proficiently (so that they’re edible).
2) Re-decorate and successfully cute-ify the condo.
3) Teach my cat how to use the toilet.
4) Run a half-marathon.
5) Plan, pay for, and enjoy a budget DIY wedding without losing my mind.

Old Married Fartville, Here I come!

It’s official.  I am engaged.  I didn’t see it happening this soon.  Since I’d been living with my very commitment-oriented lovey-dovey cheeseball boyfriend (I mean that in a good way)– I definitely knew it was coming, but tried not to think about it.  Part of me wasn’t prepared to do all this grown-up stuff yet.  But of course, I said yes, so here I am.  :)

The purpose of this blog has changed many times over the past few years, with each idea never really getting off the ground.  I had once hoped to dedicate it to my half-assed attempts (and hilarious failures) at becoming more domesticated  – so now that I’m rapidly approaching wifehood, I figured this would be a good time to revive that theme.  Enjoy!
