Spring Goals 2013


In honor of spring officially beginning, despite the insane Illinois weather not reflecting that at all, I thought I would share my spring goal list with you guys.  My general rules for goal lists are that they push either my natural tendencies or a rut that I've fallen into.  The goal should be reasonable, rather then something I know won't happen.  The only other rule I consider to be very important is that no goal requires a lot of money and that most are free or under twenty dollars this helps me insure that my goals  achievable . So without further rambling here's my list.

Read 8 Books:  Reading 20 books is on my 2013 goal list though it would be awesome to exceed that.  Since I tend to read the most in the spring and Summer I thought I'd try to read about half of my goal during spring. 

Plant my Flower garden: I always enjoy having a flower garden and since I didn't plant one last year I decided that it would be a perfect goal.

Press Some Flowers: I haven't pressed any flowers since I was about ten and I've been really wanting to again so as soon as my flowers start blooming I plan to press some.

Start a Scrap Book: I've been talking about this for years, there has always been some reason for not doing this sooner but this year I'm set on doing this even if I fail. 

Take an art Class: The woman I've taken classes from for years moved to long island a few months ago.  I have actually managed to be successful in finding a place that has a wide range of beginning -advanced classes for reasonable prices.  I'm planning to start taking classes there in April. 

Start a Blog: Well I have managed to do this and I'm at the end of week one I just have no idea of what people actually think of this blog or if anyone is reading it for that matter.  I'm changing my goal from starting a blog to having people actually read my blog. 

Finish getting my Driving Hours: Here in Illinois you must have 50 hours of driving and at least 10 of those must be at night, before you can get your license.   It has been surprisingly hard to get the night hours and after talking to other people this seems pretty common, though I think a large part of my problem has been having other people drive when I could.

Volunteer at the Animal Shelter: I will be turning 16 in less than a month which is the age you have to be in Illinois to volunteer at the Animal shelter.   I'll have my driver’s license then to so it'll be way easier to get there.

Go to Five Local Places I've Never Been To: There is a ton of awesome stuff to do within a four to five hours from my house and after six years of living in this area off and on, we just haven't done much of it.


 I would love to know your opinion and some of your goals have an amazing weekend!
