2012 resolutions: let's check in

i resolved a lot of things this time last year. i posted the list on my blog, kept it written in the back of my notebook, and was diligent in making sure things got crossed off. here's how it went:

• go on a new england road trip. DONE! went up to new hampshire with the TU crew this past August.
• do something different with my hair. DONE!  I cut that mane down!
• build a tee pee. DONE! it stands proudly in the corner of my living room.
• graduate college. DONE! this was definitely a freebie.
• fix up my etsy. kind of done. i listed a bunch of things to try to move old stock and i'm hoping to re-vamp everything in the coming months.
• go to chicago. DONE! only got to spend a day here but it was wonderful.  i want to go back with mikeyaz in tow.
• learn three full songs on the ukulele. DONE! santa baby, sentimental heart, chimbly sweep, vibe so hot, you and i - i'm all over this one.
• more karaoke, more wigs, more theme parties. DONE! new favorite karaoke song is "In the End" by linkin park. new favorite wig is my short black bob. favorite theme party of the year was librarian's delight. or wizard party. or no white sheets toga party. it's a toss-up. 
• throw a dinner party. DONE! french onion soup, pumpkin & spinach mac'n'cheese, spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. carly, tim, ben, katy, laura, jonah, suzie, and scott were all in attendance.
• knit a sweater. kind of done. half way done. work in progress. 
• go to more concerts. DONE! sufjan stevens, led zeppelin experience,
• learn a few conversational words in a foreign language. nothing on this one. i'll push it into the new year.

not too shabby, amigos. i think i was pretty good at achieving goals this past year - i have a book full of crossed off to-do lists to prove it. up next: 2013 resolutions.
