I can't believe it's the end of January already. It has FLOWN by! I'm not sure how much I've actually accomplished really, but I've felt like it's been a reasonably good start to the year!
I ran on New Year's Day, and have been a couple of times since. I still need to break my new trainers in though...I keep wimping out and using my old ones!!
I've read five books:
1) Little Women
2) Jane Eyre
3) Sense and Sensibility
4) Throwaway
5) American Sniper
A slightly odd selection there, but all enjoyable. It was nice to catch up on a few of the classics, some easy reading and I enjoyed reading American Sniper. I borrowed it from the gliding club on a whim. I've never read anything on the Iraq war, and it was interesting to hear about it from someone immersed in the fighting. All you hear otherwise is politics. I enjoy autobiographies.
I've not sewn anything up yet, but I have purchased all the fabric for my petticoat (see my last blog post for sewing goals), plus the bondaweb for my aeroplane print skirt.
I've been on quite a few walks which I've loved. Been so lucky with the weather!
My best bits have been organisation. I've kept a diary every day so far this year, a meal plan and kept the calendar updated. I've also been treating my ear piercings with salt water twice a day as they were constantly being irritated and whenever I wore earrings I could only deal with them for an hour before they hurt too much, so that's been brilliant as they're almost fully healed now.
I've had dinner out with a friend I've not caught up with enough recently and can't wait for monthly date nights now.
Plus loads of dancing. Jazz Club and the Jive Club. I had a really amazing time seeing The Jive Aces in Clacton and would love to go and see them again.
Plus my tax return is all done which makes me a happy bunny, and work has been, on the whole, good this month. Plenty done and plenty to do.
February Goals?
- Better outfits in general, more planning when I go out. Earrings and accessorise more.
- Outfit photos. Plus some nice ones for certain things for the blog!
- More running. At least once a week would be good.
Did you have a good January?
Jo :)
