Goal Recap

It's been more than 2 months since I made my goal list and I'm embarrassed to admit I haven't gotten very far with it! I moved, but I've had some unexpected car expenses so my apartment won't be completely furnished & decorated for a while.

#2. Get a new hairstyle- done! I always get a new hairstyle/ color after a breakup. It's a cheaper form of therapy! ;) I got a keratin treatment so my hair isn't crazy frizzy anymore! Also got lighter blonde highlights and some red lowlights.

#9. Pay off credit card; work on school loan- credit card is paid off! The car stuff kind of derailed my efforts in paying my school loan but I'm happy that that's the last of my debt.

#11. Draw more- so far I've only drawn this, but have plans for some Dragon Age themed art.. :)

#16. Get 50 followers on my blog- done! Thank you all for helping me with this one!

#21. Get rid of all craft supplies I no longer use- making progress with this one by sending some out to Sandi, who won my giveaway. (Should be sent out by Tuesday!) I'm planning on taking pictures of everything I want to get rid of and posting it to see if anyone wants to buy anything- all proceeds will be going towards furnishing my apartment!

 #23. Get rid of all junk/ clutter in my apartment- this one is harder than I thought. I tried to sell some stuff at the flea market but only made $45 and only got rid of a couple small things so it's still as cluttered as ever here- actually more so since I don't have all my furniture & can't unpack everything until then.

#25. Start camera collection- made the most progress with this, after all, spending money is pretty easy! Will be adding pictures soon!

I definitely have a long way to go and I actually have lots more goals since I just moved, but I think I'll have to make a seperate list: "Things To Do in Baltimore". I've only been here a month but I absolutely love it! Everyday I find a new reason that I made the right choice in moving here. I hope to have some pictures to show you early next week!

26 before 27

Inspired by Elsie, I decided to make a '26 before 27' goal list to help me actually accomplish some of the things I've been putting off forever. I have this terrible problem with procrastination...when I was in school I would always put off doing projects until the very last day- one day even the morning it was due. But if my goals are on paper & you all can read them & hold me accountable, I'll do them! (Hopefully not all in March of next year..)

The jelly beans are my first attempt at #26...I have a long way to go with that one! Sorry for the lack of posts- I've been going through some personal stuff {read: breakup} & have been trying to keep busy & haven't been home much. I've been pretty stressed with figuring stuff out. It seems my "can't live in any one place for longer than a year" curse struck again...though this will be my record (1 year & 2 months- the landlord never contacted us to renew the lease). I'm definitely excited at all the possibilities the future holds for me but kinda scared to live on my own. We'll see how it goes..
