Throwback Adventure

This was the haircut of an adventuress. I was hating my hair because it was in between long and short.  I walked in a Belgium salon and in broken French asked for a haircut. She butchered my hair because she cut it with hair clippers, but it got me back to the states looking good.

2015 New Year New You

I've been avoiding my poor blog. I do feel I need to review 2014 as I had written a post about why I decided to actively abandon my resolutions and then never published it. May be it was shame for wimping out, or because I wrote it and forgot.  I thought I would review because all of my close friends were happy to see the end of 2014. I wondered if I felt the same and then realized I couldn't even tell what day was New Year.  I do have to say the 2014 wasn't stellar, but not bad either.

2014 Yeahs and Boos

Yeah

In March I got into Podcasts... while I'm behind the times. I have learned many great and interesting things.

My knitting skill has massively grown, and added an obsession with fiber/yarn

I got to indulge my fiber obsession by going to Ecuador... twice.

Daniel graduated from school and started working full time.

We bought a new car.

I was brave enough to work on a larger aircraft.

Had a great year in health and learn some new New Age ways to heal

Went to a family reunion, had a great time with no major blow ups (epic for Peshell's)

Boos

Daniel was hospitalized for a bleeding esophagus.

Daniel failed a semester

Had horrible things happen to those I love

I had two of my close friends move away from Atlanta

Lost my faith in my culture in a very brutal way.

 I was pushed out from ward and silenced

Meh it looks like 2014 is a winner because I have more positive then negative. I do have to say the negative has taken a bigger toll than it looks on paper.

Now that Daniel is out of school I will set up a "plan" for life. Mostly so I can come back to it and laugh at how it didn't work.

Within the next year I would like to travel to :
  • Panama City to see the canal
  • Spain
  • Vietnam with my dad
  • The beach... Destin?
  • More South or Central America
Maybe think about having a kid??? Maybe a second one, if I get started.

Looking at buying a condo or home

Visit Africa and Australia/New Zealand

Would love to learn to spin and visit a sheep farm, maybe write a knitting pattern

This year's resolutions are going to be fabulously frivolous start digital scrapbooking and get caught up in my physical scrapbooks. Speak up more (okay that one is serious and will I probably flake out on). I am also thinking of learning "ballroom" dances with Daniel.
