#3

I've never really bought into the whole New Years resolution thing but I am a big fan of "list-making". In fact, if it were a sport, I'd be on the all-star team. I have lists everywhere and make them for everything. I suppose the act of being able to say I've accomplished something and crossing it off the list is what I find most appealing (Even if its something as silly as "Take a shower" which I would do with or without writing it down.) So instead of my resolution, heres my list that I would like to accomplish, or come close to by the end of the year:

1. Go back to school. Its something I definitely plan on doing and wish I could do much sooner. I actually enjoyed it a lot and miss it. I'm hoping to return this summer if I'm able to financially.
2. Make some tote bags. I got on this tote bag kick a couple of months ago and havent gotten anywhere with it aside from the few bags i've made for myself and the one for Devon. I spent the money on buying them wholesale and they're just sitting in the corner of my room gathering dust. Even if I dont sell them, I'd like to make some cute ones and give them away.
3. Make new friends. Don't get me wrong, I love my old friends but I'm lonely. Everyones either married or has a baby making it almost impossible to plan something, not to mention the distance between Hemet and Long Beach. I want the confidence to go out and make friends (On my own, not with Blake playing matchmaker, although I'm very grateful for his attempts to find me friends.)
4. Maybe, possibly, hopefully find some sort of love interest, even if its with myself. Charlies told me numerous times that I cant be happy with someone until I'm happy with myself, and I'm starting to believe him. If I could just love myself, I'd be content being alone and maybe Mr. Right will find me when I least expect it.
5. Lose some weight...of course, the #1 New Years Resolution. But seriously, It needs to be done. I live at the beach for goodness sakes. Not to mention my sister has the perfect super model beach bod! Grrrr....
6. Find somewhere to intern on my days off to hopefully get my foot in the fashion industry door. Make some connections and get some experience before my real semester internship.
