2011 Already? Interesting....

My, my, my ... how time flies.  One minute I'm contemplating sewing and the next minute it's a new year.  Go figure.  So, sewing world, how are we doing?  I, for one, barely sewed a stitch in 2010.  As a matter of fact, my sewing room turned into a storage place for imagined projects and laundry.  Yeah, that's how I roll.  And I admit that I was so not going to do a new year post because, truth be told, they kind of annoy me.  I guess that's because I tend to roll with the punches instead of making a list of things I plan to do only to not do them.  It's a completely annoying personality trait.

I will admit, however, that I did accomplish something during 2010.  I actually planned for it (which is the opposite of what I said in the preceding paragraph (see how duplicitous I am?).  So what was this great thing I accomplished?  Nothing specific.  2010 was the year I planned to concentrate on me.  And I've done that (sort of).  Let's see, I joined a gym at the end of July and I still show up (take that quitting spirit!!).  I've visited dentists and doctors and found a hair stylist who was more than willing to cut off all of my hair in a gym-friendly style and take out the gray (I'm just not ready for those gray hairs yet).  I've spent a lot of time reading silly books (lots of Urban Fantasy) and reading style blogs (finally got that out of my system).  I spent hours stalking the Talbots website looking for deals on work clothes (score!!).  Oh and I started a new job in April.  So, yeah, things happened in 2010.

So, what are my plans for 2011?  (Yes, I know that no one cares but I'm going to post it anyway).  Go back to sewing.  Well, that and figure out what items need to invite themselves out of my life.  So, I guess the theme of 2011 is to (a) continue making me a priority and try to reduce the amount of carbs that I shove into my system, (b) drink more water, (c) continue to go the gym 4-5 days a week, (d) get rid of things that are not being utilized...enough with the "never use it don't want to get rid of it because it's still good" mentality, (e) continue to work on my personal style and (f) sew because our budget will be even tighter in 2011, and I like new clothes. (Oh and make my cousin a purse).  I would add that I'd like to blog every day but that's silly.  Now that I have a camera that works (and an inherited laptop that works most of the time), I should be able to post more consistently.  Unless I really get into watching stupid movies.  If that happens, all bets are off.  Like I said, I don't do lists of things I plan to accomplish.  (well, I do, but I rarely pay attention to them).

Ah well, enough double-talk, I have a closet to clean and a tote bag to duplicate.  Until the next time,

Happy Sewing and Happy New Year.
