keeping things simple.

the other day, i looked back at the goals i set for 2008. ugh. i didn't really do so well. so instead of setting long-term, year-long goals, i'm going to set a few short-term goals for now:

1. clean + organize my studio. i've joined the group at studio calico with this idea in mind. i'm hoping that being part of a group will help keep me focused and motivated to keep working. once i have a clean space, i think i will feel so much more inspired to actually create, which has been a struggle for so long now. it's something that i really miss. i think that cleaning + organizing my stuff is essential to gaining back my creativity.

2. cook at home. last night i picked up the supplies to cook two meals. so. i'm aiming to cook one tonight and the other on saturday. i would love to eventually get to the point where i can plan a whole week of meals at a time, but that's not even close to a realistic goal for me at this point. so i'm starting out small, and hopefully it will be more successful this way.

3. exercise. i'm going to rely on james to keep me on track with this one. :] aside from going to the gym with him, i want to start taking helix on more walks.

4. make a plan. you know. for my life. :]

it's cold and windy and rainy here today. i think i might get bundled up and venture out to a few stores with my parents this aftern1oon. and i have to say, the cold weather is putting me in the mood to cook. woot! :]
