2012 in Review… and the Goals for 2013!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a new year, this is a new blog, time to move forward! Bbut it seems there are some things that need to be dealt with from the past.

I had my list of things I wanted to get done before today… and most of them did not get accomplished. But, I’m not beating myself up over that.

My blogging Schedule didn’t improve – though I feel okay blaming the end of the year craziness for that. And I’ve gotten myself in a good place for this year – I think/hope.

Reviewing went decently enough… I logged 143 reviews, including TV episodes and Movies, I had no goals for reviewing books, so I’m not counting those. I got two of the series I wanted to review done, and batting 500 isn’t something to sneer at. Though I didn’t get to Eureka, and that has me a little bummed.

I did complete my reading and writing goals, you can read more about those over here.

Things around the home got thrown off track when we realized we were moving again… but I think I’d call those three items done: I got the digital photo files organized and edited (excluding the ones still waiting to be dumped from my camera), we got the long closet under control and we didn’t need to worry about decorating the master suite, because we’re getting out of there.

– Goals for 2013 –
Make 365 recipies
(I’ll post the details of this one a little later in the month)
Complete One Craft Project each month
            (This will help with my Christmas goals for the year)
Review 4 movies and 1 season of a TV series each month
            (We’ll see how this goes… since last year’s hopes were not met)
Read 60 Books
            (I’m pretty sure I can do 5/month… if I put my mind to it. I have about 80 in my TBR pile, so this will be a great help.)


I also have plans to do a monthly goal… which I’ll tell you at the beginning of each month :D

January’s Goal: Organize my Pinterest Boards
(I’ll be honest, I’m giving myself an easy one to start with, because January is going to be hectic.)

Lucy says Happy New Year too!

  1. Brittney was at my house yesterday and I guess she read this because she said, "Amy wants to read 60 books this year!" And we lamented that you get some "bonus" time to read at work :) I love when you read lots of books, I love your reviews!

  2. Can I get a link to your TV reviews? or shown what blog it is kept in, I don't know the official count, but I feel that you have 3 different blogs.

  3. Hey Sean, The TV/Movie reviews are up in the movie reviews tab up top. This is my consolidation blog... I had three personal ones: Movies, Recipies, EVERYTHING ELSE... but I've combine them in to one for keeping things in a more managable order. You can scroll up to the top of the page... or here's the direct link: http://geekgirlgoesdomestic.blogspot.com/p/alphabetical-index-feature-films-alien.html
