- Add 6 new digital prints to the digital shop.
- Create 6 new screen designs.
- Write one new Yelp review per month for local places I love.
- Make tortillas from scratch and/or bake bread from scratch (not banana bread type thing, but actual, honest-to-goodness-yeast-needing bread).

- Find & acquire the perfect purple necklace.
- Make all of the hand-me-down recipes (from my mom and grandma) in my recipe box that I’ve never tried.
Specific, hopefully manageable. We shall see.
My birthday itself was low-key – just wine, pasta and the Project Runway finale. 🙂 Our getaway to San Antonio this past weekend was my big celebration, and we’ll be having friends over this coming weekend for game night party. So birthday celebrations have been had and will be had. I told you I was milking this birthday for all it’s worth. 😀
What do you think? Good mix of personal and business goals? Did I bite off more than I can handle?
