A couple of weeks ago I posted 5 goals for 2011. I thought I’d update you on my progress.
1. Wear rings. This has been a bit of a challenge for me, mostly because I’m not in the habit of wearing them and I forget to put them on when I’m getting ready in the morning. However, here are some that I have worn since I set this goal:
Jordana’s rings: Sparkle, sparkle!

2. Embrace the cold weather. Second goal. Second challenge. I’m trying. My friend Kate knit me a gorgeous white scarf. I love it and it’s definitely helping to keep me warm (thanks Kate!).

3. Host more parties. I’ve hosted one dinner party (for eight of my friends) since 2011 began. I think this is a decent start. I even managed to put together little flower arrangements for the occasion:

4. Try new recipes. For said dinner party (see #3), I tried two new recipes: 1. Mushroom crostini (similar to this recipe) and 2. Pasta Alla Formiana (by Giada de Laurentiis). I kind of burnt the tomato topping. Oops.
5. Learn more about London, Ontario. I haven’t necessarily learned more but I have supported the arts community. I went to the Aeolian Hall to see (and listen to) performances by Julie Doiron, Sunbear and Castlemusic. Very entertaining. Great venue.

Well, there you have it, my first update on my 2011 goals. Goal number 6: to keep updated my progress.
You look lovely girl…
I should have smiled…I really am happy to wear my cozy scarf! Thanks Anu!

You look very good in white!
and, your rings are lovely, you should definitely wear them more often=)
Thank you! These days it’s mostly black but I have a good selection of white shirts. I love them! (But ironing them is another story – I read that you had an ironing “party” yourself a little while ago.)

p.s. The ring issue – it’s more of a challenge than I had thought. I can never remember to put one on!
I love this update on your goals! Your 2011 is off to a great start- a dinner party of 8 guests is no small accomplishment (including 2 new recipes!).
I’m super proud of you for sticking to your goals- although I am surprised, as with you, that wearing more rings is so challenging-! Who knew?

Ha ha…believe it or not the rings goal may be the biggest challenge yet. Lots of my big chunky rings don’t fit under my gloves! More complicated than one might think.

I know! It’s so much easier for me to wear earrings, necklaces and stacks of bracelets. We learn something new about one another every day, don’t we?
