2014 New Year's Resolutions

Another year, another set of resolutions to vaguely follow. Place your bets on which one I actually accomplish.

1. Post more regularly.
This means setting up a schedule and sticking to it. The busy times in my life are pretty predictable so if I can plan ahead then I can avoid those times when I go radio silent. See, sometimes I forget to post. And then I disappear out of shame because I haven't posted in foooooooorever. I'll try to be better. I promise.

2. Read more books than last year.
In 2013, I read 13 books. See? It might not be an impressive number for you, but whatever. There were some really really big books like Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and rereading A Storm of Swords. This year, with a handy dandy Kindle that I got for Christmas, I'm aiming to read 24 books. Re-reads will count towards this goal. I'll be keeping track of them on GoodReads as well as my Read in 2014 page.

3. Craft more.
I picked up a new craft in 2013 - papercutting. And since then, my other crafts have been unintentionally pushed aside. This year I want to focus more on crafting and trying to combine my crafts whenever possible. So expect more pictures of cross-stitch, stamps, and papercutting on Instagram.

4. Be a better adult.
I am twenty-five now. I need to start doing more adult things. Like building credit, hanging all of my frames on the wall, take better care of my things and myself, etc. This is the generic "better myself" goal of the year. But don't be surprised at the end of the year if I take this to mean drink more wine and bring a bag lunch to work every day.
