New Year, New Me?

I'm not usually real big on resolutions. But...I know there's a lot of things I want to work on in the new year. So here's a list of things, not resolutions, that I want to do/get better at in 2014.


Run 1000 miles in 2014. A girlfriend of mine, one of my college teammates, had this goal for 2013 and she made it! Neither one of us were distance runners, but now both run half marathon and she ran the Marine Corps Marathon this year! I really want to try and make this happen.

Finally learn how to use my expensive camera. I love my Canon Rebel T3i. But at the moment it's basically a really expensive point and shoot. I must learn to use the settings.

Leave the country. I haven't been on a great trip since London 2012 and now that I have my passport back I want to go somewhere!


Keep a journal. I realize I have a blog, but this would be somewhere where I am free to write without fear of judgement.


Turn off my phone at dinner. I rarely unplug. This will be good for me, even if it's only for 30 minutes.

Don’t check Twitter feed when I'm with friends. Again with the unplugging.

Drink less coke. Let's be serious, there's prob no way I am giving it up, but if I could just cut down to maybe two or three cans a week, that would be good.


Cross something off my bucket list. Sky dive, bungee jump, scuba dive, etc. I don't know what this one will be yet.

    Good luck with your 2014 "things." I plan to check a few of these off my list as well. Keep me posted on your 1,000 miles goal. It may seem daunting at first, but as long as you keep moving (er running; walking counts too) it will feel more and more attainable.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event ...

Are these really the same shoes?

I was so excited to order the pink nike pegasus sneakers that I was swooning over last week. After everything that happened, it was my way of cheering my self up. Then they came in the mail. Now don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I don't love them as much. In person, they are much darker than the picture would have you believe. They are even darker than the picture I took. Must be something about this pink, it always looks brighter in the photo. They look so similar in these pictures. But in person. It's almost a different shoe. Oh well. At least they were on sale. In unrelated news...I called the insurance company on the premise of telling them I was moving but really just wanting an update on my claim. Well the really nice man at State Farm took my banking info so that I wouldn't miss the check, it would just be direct deposited. And he forwarded my claim to someone else to make sure they get started working on. Fingers crossed maybe they will get it d...

Here's what: Dec. 20

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week: I. want. this. outfit . And I was totally willing to pay the $350 to get that skirt and sweater. Even though I have absolutely no where to wear it. I would have figured something out. But they don't have the skirt in my size. And I thought about getting the sweater anyway, but it just wouldn't be the same. I will continue to stalk it online however, in the hopes that the skirt comes back. And after a night out in the outfit, I would come home and put on these Ugg slippers . Ya, I said. Uggs. I like them. And I'm proud of it. Get over it. Still obsessed with getting a puppy. So cute. And it's not like I'm traveling for work anymore. But I do work some crazy hours I guess.  They are just so stinking cute. So if anyone has a little french bulldog puppy to give away, you know where to find me.
