So here it is, the last day of 2012. I can't say I'll miss this year. It really hasn't been the greatest. Some things were good, but some really shitty things happened also.
I think I'll stick with last year's format for this post...because it was pretty awesome...
Major happenings in 2012 (in order of occurrence, not importance)
1. I miscarried for the 3rd time.
2. I finally received my BA degree!
3. C's parents separated after 30+ years of marriage.
4. C lost his job.
5. I got a new job!
6. House projects: finished the closet, painted the kitchen cabinets
7. C went on 2 week, cross-country road trip!

2013 New Year's Goals
(Old post for reference 2012 New Years Post (this is a continued post that is added to, so some things might seem random or out of date))
1. Be more positive. - Working out OK...attempting not to be a whinny bitch ;) I guess this is going ok. Kinda hard to judge. - struggling with this sometimes, but not doing terribly, will continue into the new year :)
2. Continue to try more new things.
- Started playing tennis again (fairly regularly)
- Started golfing again (on rare occasion)
- Mountain biking
(not sure what is in store this year!)
- Mountain biking
(not sure what is in store this year!)
3. Get organized! - Still In Progress-- still working on this, but SO MUCH better already!
5. Payoff all debt. And not to air dirty laundry, but I'm thinking of making a little "pay-off-o-meter" to post here for inspiration, aka, constant reminder. - Still In Progress - On hold due to job loss.
6. Fertility related: This is THE year I think something will happen or big decisions will be made. I haven't updated some important information in a while but I will say that I now have some infertility coverage and adoption assistance. I will be searching for an RE and moving forward with IVF and possibly adoption in 2013. (yikes!!)
7. Sell our house
8. Buy a new house. - this may be possible this year
9. Make my house a home. I'm tired of being
jealous of other people's houses. I want to live in a comfortable,
happy, stylin' environment. Because C and I pretty much decided to stay
in our current house for at least another year or two, I want to make it
a better place. -In progress! - Still going well I need to post some pictures in an upcoming post.
10. Lose weight.Via weight watchers - I WILL post my weight occasionally to hold myself accountable.
Current Weight: 166 Current weight - 159 (improvement!)
Goal #1: 145 by 06/23/12 (friend's wedding) Didn't happen HA!
Goal #2:135 145 by 10/12/12 (Europe) (Halloween!)
Goal #3:130 by 01/01/13
Goal #4: Maintain
10. Lose weight.
Goal #2:
Goal #3:
Goal #4: Maintain
I've decided to go all out with this goal this year. I think as I race towards the big 3-0 birthday in April I'm growing increasingly aware of the impending doom that is "the age factor." I think if my self-esteem is fairly low now, it may only get worse as I depart from my 20's. I have, therefor, decided to go back to my original plan of weekly weigh in's...yes....WEEKLY dammit!! AND will also be coming up with a new set of weight loss related goals in the form of some statistic and photo heavy weekly post to keep me freakin accountable.
Watch the fuck out, because here I come!!!
