New Year | Pad Patter 12.30

I also don't make a lot of goals, but there are (hopefully) some big changes coming for me in 2019. So goals...

1. Lose weight. For every pound I lose, $5 goes into a jar. Once I hit my goal weight, I'll have enough money to buy a cute outfit and do a Disney Fine Arts Photography photo shoot in either World Showcase or Animal Kingdom.

2. Be more present. I need to start working on limiting screen time (easier said than done as I am addicted to the internet).

3. Save money. I want to start using my travel discounts to see more of the US and eventually the world. Perhaps a trip to China or South Africa is in my future for 2020.

4. Attempt Project Life 2019. I want to take more photos. I think (hopefully) moving to Florida will really help.

5. And a fun one: Hit 150 unique Disney characters by December 2019. It's a stretch, but I'm at 126 right now.

As for NYE. I go over to my best friend's place (we've been friends for 23 years now I think). We drink and watch movies... it's "boring" but works for us.

I do not make resolutions. I do choose a OLW and make some mini-goals from that. Well, this year, my OLW chose me, and I don't like it one bit.

My 2019 OLW is "hustle" so you know it's going to be a rough year but I hope to come out stronger & better & wiser for when I turn 40 in January 2020. I'm starting out by committing to writing every day in January so I can wrap up my novel by the end of the year. This is more than a little crazy considering it's also MOC but I can rest after I'm dead, right?! There is also a women's weightlifting class starting at the Y next month that I'm equal parts horrified & ecstatic about so I will sign up for that, too. That'll get things started with a bang!

With this in mind, my scrappy goals for 2019 are VERY VERY easy: letting go of PL & perfection and creating (on average) 2 pages per week. If I'll be workin' my butt off in the other arenas of my life for the next 12 months, then I need my creative outlet to be f-u-n.

This'll be the third year that my daughter & I head over to my sister's for NYE. We usually put together a Lego set (well, not me -- I don't Lego) and play games, watch a movie, have snacks, and have sparkling grape juice and do noisemakers at midnight. We sleep over and have donuts before we go home in the morning. My nephew has some of his bros over at the same time but we only see them emerge from the bowels of the basement to pee and to eat.

Oh wow, good luck with writing your novel!! What kind of novel are you writing? That sounds awesome! You surely are heading in to 2019 with hustle!! I totally agree that your creative outlet should be fun! Enjoy your NYE and a happy new year to you, LeeAndra!

I’ve kind of stopped making goals cause I get disappointed but my main area i’m focusing on this year apart from getting a job (that’s an ongoing and fairly depressing goal at this point) is be healthy and well, lose weight and exercise more.

As far as NYE plans, well it’s 3 hours til midnight here on NYE, I’ve got my sparkling grape juice and snacks and will watch the live stream online of the city fireworks

I'm wishing you all the best in the new year, Jennifer. I know the job search has been stressful for you, but I just know the right one will come along at the right time!!

Oooh great incentive for the weight loss! Sounds like you have some awesome goals! I am going to work on the saving money and taking more photos myself! I would love to at some point save enough to take my whole family to Disney. Love the fun one!! Happy New Year to you, Kim!

I just have one major goal for 2019... get my teeth issues sorted out so I can finally eat more than 4 things!

It is a long process because of healing of tissue and bones in the mouth but I'd rather do it this way than to do the "all-in-one day" that is advertised so that it is done right. Depending on when the first step to the implants is done, it will be at least a 6 month process.

One thing I had been wanting to do in 2019 has been put back to 2020 because of the teeth for me and renovation work in her new house for my cousin. That Alaskan cruise and train trip through the Canadian Rockies will be so much nicer when all of our stress is gone (and I can eat!!!)

I don't have resolutions per se but I am setting some intentions. This coming year my word is focus which I'm already seeing pop up a lot in my life so I think it's going to be a great word for 2019!

Exciting plans for NYEve? Waiting for MOC7! lol. We are leaving my parent's home tomorrow to travel back home. Stopping at an Artisan Village for several hours, Indian restaurant, and an antiquing jaunt before heading home! Yippee!
My goals and One Word are in my sig!

I understand the teeth issues. I need to have some work done myself. DH did the "all-in-one day" thing and I'm pretty sure he wished he hadn't.
Oooh that cruise and train trip sounds amazing! You definitely have something to look forward to in 2020!!
Happy New Year, Rene!!

Attempt Project Life 2019. I want to take more photos. I think (hopefully) moving to Florida will really help.

In the meantime, you could take photos of the everyday places you go until you move? We did that before we moved. We spent two days going around and taking photos of all the normal places- grocery store, pizza place, library, dairy. Signs we saw- town, town hall. I love having those photos!
