i’m diggin’ [my plan] slash theme for 2009.
it’s simple & yet still challenging, kinda.
i feel like i have direction.
*me likey.
but there are still {a few} more specific things i’d like to fit in the cracks.
so i’m makin’ a blog-list of extracurricular randoms that i’d enjoy
accomplishing in the next 362 days or so.
keep in mind though: these aren’t resolutions.
*just angie-it-would-be-cool-if suggestions.
i’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself.
{i do that enough as it is.}
but setting goals and making lists is fun.
[and i like fun things.]
***
so, here we go:
[ahem]
*gracefully survive january & all it's anxiety-inducing-deadlines.

*lose weight or stop crying about being large.
[one of the two]

armstrong just after her anna-on-the-OC days.
