the really late resolutions post

five days into the new year and i'm finally posting my resolutions post. maybe in the future, i should resolve to post in a more timely manner? regardless, here are my resolutions for the upcoming year:

• email my grandpa every day. i gave him a coupon for a daily email for christmas and i want to make sure i follow through with this one. he's one of my favorite dudes and i know i get busy when i'm at school, so i think this will be a good way to keep in touch with that guy.
  
• don't buy any clothing new. please don't misread this dear reader. i am still allowed to buy new clothing- i would actually go insane if my wardrobe stagnated for an entire year. the rules are, i'm allowed to buy as many second hand things as i want. but nothing new new. nothing with tags. no target, no old navy, no marshalls even. i hope this challenges me to wear more unusual outfits and get a little creative with muh ensembles.
  
• keep a character journal. i want to write profiles for at least 3 characters a week.
  
• be a positive source of energy. that sounds so new age-y when it's typed out like that. but seriously. i want to eliminate complaining and whining from my life. i don't want to bitch about salespeople or kids in my class or situations within or beyond my control. i want to stay positive and happy and hopefully pass those vibes on to people around me.
  
• fix up and promote my etsy
• learn to properly can things
• interact with my space more often (use a lot of chalk)
  
• yes & the begeezus out of everything.
  

i'm sure this will be an ever- evolving list. and though i believe you can start new things and set new goals any time of the year, i would hate to pass up a holiday tradition. so hold me to this stuff guys! especially the shopping one! that promises to be rough. but seriously dudes. i'm trying to grow and become better. so duct tape my mouth shut if i get on my soapbox and don't let me near h&m.
