First of all Happy New Year! If you went out last night, I am hoping that you are feeling okay this morning if you know what I mean. Better yet, I hope you are still in bed sleeping it off ;).
I was thinking about writing some sort of resolutions post or something for 2013 and was talking to my SIL (who needs to blog more) and she suggested a 2013 Bucket List. Perfect idea! Here goes:
1) Learn to sew. I have the sewing machine now, so there is no excuse for me not to make this happen.
2) Clean house. Not like scrub the house spotless or anything crazy, but I need to get rid of clutter. Decorative items I no longer use? Old toys? Baby clothes? Craigslist is going to be my new BFF.
3) Use the treadmill / go to the gym more. Shockingly, I have access to an amazing gym (our local rec. center), but it just never worked out (ha,ha) that I could go these last few months. But, I am going to make it a point to go more this year! Not in January of course, because there is nothing I hate more than a crowded gym! I’ll just use the treadmill in the basement!
4) “Frame” my bathroom mirror. This has been on my “To-Do” list for months and months. Like this. Since B is busy guy, I think I am going to enlist my brother’s help for this. He is also a “B” and has NO idea about this little project.
5) Decide if we are having more kids! I’m totally on the fence on this one, so I am giving myself a year to decide ;). I’m not ready to say “no way” or “yes, of course” just yet. But let’s be honest, I’m not getting any younger over here!
6) Find WB a playgroup. Once L starts school full-time in the fall, WB is going to be BORED. He needs friends to play with and I plan to find him some!
7) Unplug More. This is going to be the hardest Bucket List item. It’s probably not healthy that I get nervous when my iPhone doesn’t get a signal. I don’t think any further explanation is really needed.
8) Eat In More. After I retired, I was awesome about cooking dinner. And then somewhere, it all went to sh*t. But this year it will get better!
9) Get Couponing! I was never an extreme couponer by any means, but I did do a good job of saving a few bucks here and there. But I’ve been slacking. It’s on starting now!
10) Grow the Blog. I want get a blog makeover and continue to grow my blog and have fun with it!
What’s on your 2013 Bucket List? And if you went out last night, how are you feeling today?
Sewing is on my list too – my machine is just gathering dust and now that I have my own craft room, I should probably learn!
I also want to get with couponing – I love deals!
Those are very ambitious! I’ve got a lot of the same wishlist going. My two big things that I want to do are 1) learn how to use my new camera, and 2) go on a family vacation. I got a Canon Rebel for Christmas and I love it…but am itching to understand it more! We travel a LOT together as a family but it is almost always traveling to visit family in Michigan or Florida for a couple weeks at a time. I want to go on a real vacation for some family fun. I don’t think we’re quite ready for Disney yet but maybe a weekend at Great Wolf Lodge or something. 🙂
We are going on a Disney Cruise in the Spring too! You can do Disney!!!
Sewing is on my list. It can’t be that hard to learn right? Lol 🙂 I started cloth diapering 3-4 months ago but I hope to learn to make my own cleaners and more organic things 🙂
I just realized WB was born 3 days after my third baby! (I have boy, girl, boy…almost 4, 2 1/2 and 8 months) I just started reading a month or so ago and grew up in Michigan close to Ann Arbor. For the last 2 years we have lived in Indiana after we moved here for my husband’s job promotion. I also shop Target clearance like crazy! We got our 9 ft Xmas tree this year finally…$455 for $135! Go Target!
Great list! Your SIL must be brilliant. 😉
Learn to sew is one of mine too and hopefully my sewing machine won’t be too hard to get the hang of!!
