Predictions for the New Year

I know a lot of people are not big into New Year's resolutions.

But I am not one of those people.

I think the New Year is a wonderful time to recognize my faults, examine what needs to be changed in my life, and work toward improving my emotional and physical well-being.

I prefer to use the term "predictions" though rather than "goals" or "resolutions."

You know, because I am obviously going to achieve all of these things in the year 2013.

1. I will finish my novel.

2. I will lose the 30 pounds I previously lost (must think up fabulous reward when I reach my target weight).

3. I will read (and reread) every Jane Austen novel.

4. I will get a Harry Potter tattoo.

5. I will fall in love.

6. I will find the perfect shade of red lipstick.

7. I will write a fan letter to one of my favorite authors.

8. I will attend mass more often.

9. I will daydream less often.

10. I will let myself have lazy Sundays and not feel guilty about it.

What are you hoping to accomplish in this sparkling new year?

    #1 - for the love finish that novel because I can't wait to read ALL of it! The little preview you posted a while back was such a tease! I can't wait to purchase your novel one day and tell all of my friends "Oh Jenna? Yeah, I read her blog way back when, no big deal." haha!

    And #4. Oh how I want a Harry Potter tattoo. What are you thinking of getting??

    Wow I cannot believe how amazing your list is. I love the fact that you're reading Jane Austen novels and all of them! And Mass is a good one. I am losing weight and having a healthier 2013. My other one is finish reading Anna Karenina which I have now started and stopped approx 5 times.

    What a fabulous list, Jenna! I can relate to almost every single thing on your list (except, maybe, finishing a novel, since I haven't even started one yet :) You are such a fabulous lady, and such an amazing friend, and I can't wait to see you accomplish all your goals!

    Love!
