New Year's Resolution Status Update

[wickedcherub]

Thought I might check in with my NY resolutions see how they're doing.

My New Year's Resolution this year is to be a better friend.
Now because I need specifics, this involves:
ONLINE
- replying to all comments left on LJ, wall posts, @replies, DMs, emails.

I'm definitely better at this. Not perfect, but much much much better at replying to things people send me. My next step is to try and do things in a timely manner, so a conversation might ensue.

- commenting on LJ posts, FB statuses, sending emails.

My LJ commenting has dropped right off with me using my phone more for LJ purposes, so I better try harder for that. I've been sending my best friend answeringbell many more emails now, so I feel like I'm in constant contact with her, as opposed to just whenever.

OFFLINE
- actually initiating contact with friends instead of vice versa

I think I'm doing okay with this. My friends are constantly overseas, so this is making it hard. I've been trying to talk to my SIL every day and that's working out really well for me and making me feel grounded and connected.

- actually initiating meetup with friends. Target - to see them at least 3 times this year.

Again with the overseas thing :( Though, I've managed to invite answeringbell over to my house three times *this year* already, so I'm on track with her at least!

- responding to all SMSes to their logical conclusion and not just leaving them.

Yeah, mostly. Maybe my friends just seem to be the type to ALWAYS respond to everything.

- to see my friends for my birthday

Not til July

Other things I would like to perhaps achieve this year
- take monthly photos of Tobias

This has been fail. I hardly ever take photos of Tobias. :( I will try and get back on that. Though you should see the latest photo of him on Instagram here: http://instagram.com/p/Ws0l_slTU9/ He's so fat.

- read 50 books

A ha. Hahaha. I've read two YA books, and two romance novels. :( And a giant metric fuck ton of fanfic. I wish fanfic counted on Goodreads lol)

- join a boxing class and get fit, target weight 50kg, (okay, seriously, I'm 53kg now, it's not much of a target)

I'm still 53kg, but none of my jeans fit. NONE of them. I'm still wearing my maternity jeans. I'm going to call up the boxing people today.

- keep the house clean enough that I don't have to delay people when they drop by

HA. hahahahaha. Err. The house is tidyish now. But oh man, we've had a MOUSE. This should explain how messy my house got there.

I see Adam (from my limited weird Internet stranger picture knowledge) in that delicious chunky baby...

I watch Pipa fail in karate class twice a week and I wish, instead that it was me doing the adult class that comes right after. If only I could trust her with Remi for an hour. I haven't really gained any more weight. It's just sitting there in more and more unflattering ways making my best clothes look ridiculous and frumpy.

Totally. 53kg is my regular normal weight. But none of my pants fit :(((

Oh God, the rolls on that baby. *squee* My first was so fat too; I miss it. :(
