2013 Resolutions

I'm not setting specific project goals for 2013, but I do have a few resolutions, both blog-related and life-related, that I want to accomplish this year. I'll feel more accountable if I share, so here goes...

1. Blog More

I feel like I'm just now getting to grips with having two kids and finding time for myself. Not much, but a bit. I got a lot of projects done last year, but never got around to taking pictures and writing up posts, so now I'm not starting anything new until I've shared what I've already done (like the little paper-covered box below).

2. Better the Blog

Pretty City Things will be two years old this Spring, and it is beyond sad that I still don't even have a header. I promised myself a while ago that when I get my first paycheck, I will roll it straight back into the blog and make it all pretty like. I make about ten whole dollars a month from advertising, so it's taking a while, but soon...soon.

3. Work With What We Have

We are planning to move to the UK in the next couple of years, so while I still want to work on prettifying our space now, I don't want to spend money on anything that we won't be able to take with us. And I want to declutter and streamline the things we do have, obviously.

4. Keep Running

I started running to lose the baby weight in September. I had never run before, ever, and I was terrible at it. But I got better. I ran my first 5K race at the beginning of November and, as of today, I am 38lbs down in less than four months, and actually really enjoying it. The baby weight is gone, and now I'm working on the post-wedding weight too. I'm doing the Polar Dash as my first 10K next weekend (eeekk) and I hope to manage at least a 15K this year too. Maybe even a half marathon. Either way, I want to keep running.

That's it. Nothing too ambitious, I don't think. Hear's hoping you hear more from me soon!
