Here it is...... 2018

I guess the old saying

Time goes fast when you get older

is no lie.

I swear it seems like it was just the beginning of  2017 a few weeks ago.

And I did not get one goal accomplished that I had set for myself.

As you can see procrastinate was my word for that year.

Actually work got in the way of a lot of things and now looking back,

that will NOT happen this year.

This year I chose a much different word.

Its probably not what you think...

To me the meaning of unicorn is that one thing that is elusive, but

if you wait or look hard enough you will find.

I know its like a bucket list, but on a much higher level.

Like last month i was able to achieve one of my unicorns.

We went to the Foo Fighters concert!

Yes it was amazing!

So this year, I am looking for my unicorns.

I only have a few goals for 2018.

1. To read all the books by Tarryn Fisher.

I chose her because after reading Bad Mommy & The Never-Never trilogy she wrote 

with Colleen Hoover, I was hooked.

Colleen, you are next!

2. I am going to learn how to wire wrap & crochet.

For the most part, I know only two stitches in crocheting and I want to broaden my knowledge.

As for wire wrapping, since I love playing with sea glass, it just seems like the next step.

3.  I am going to continue to walk every day.

I am currently passed my goal of 100 lbs lost.  

And just have about 40 more to go.

And that is it...

What goals have you set for yourself?

Have a wonderful weekend.

Reading Goals for 2017

I decided to have a few reading goals this year.

My Good Reads goal is to read 50 books this year.

One a week could be doable for me.

Remember I am a slow reader.

Join me on good reads

I also wanted to do something with a little more of a challenge.

I googled Top Books of All Time.

I ended up with

Time's Top 10 Books of All Time.

Here it is:

1. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
2. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
4. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov ...
5. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
6. Hamlet by William Shakespeare
7. The Great Gatsby F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
9. The Stories of Anton Chekhov by Anton Chekhov
10. Middlemarch by George Eliot

I have already borrowed the book from my library.

I decided that I will read one book a month.

Leaving two months to go rogue lol

January's Read will be

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

I will let y'all know how I liked it.

I will be doing more book reviews as well and trying to get on some

cover reveals and other goodies.

What are you reading?

Have a great day.

Happy New Year! Let the Blogging Begin.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Okay so I am a few days late.

I guess not everyone's New Year can start off good.

But,

time to put on those big girl panties and get my year rolling.

First of all I am NOT one of those "New Year, New Me" people.

If you find you need to change something about yourself,

then do it right then and there while you are thinking about it.

But what I do challenge myself for the new year.

I have made lots of lists of goals to accomplish.

 I have even joined some challenges that should be fun and keep me busy.

I definitely want to stay crafty and creative all year round.

And lots of reading.. lol

So here is the 30 day blog challenge I am going to do in Jan.

I found this on TTE Designs blog and figured I might as well give it a try.

It can not be that hard, can it?

So what do you have planned for the New Year?

Goals? Challenges?

Let's hear it..

Have a blessed week!
