Happy Mid-Year!

Guess what everyone? It's Mid-Year's Eve! You know, that time of the year when you look at the calendar and go "Holy smokes, what happened to 2011?" Where you look at that sticky note with your New Year's resolutions on it with deep guilt and remorse, and you start wondering what has happened to all the time you had in the last six months.


Well I say we should celebrate the mid year! Personally the first half of this year stunk, as far as my goals went. I guess I graduated from college, but as for the rest of the things I wanted to do... not so much. So I'm compiling a short list of Mid-Year goals (you all know how I love me some lofty goals) for the rest of year (though hopefully not too lofty this time), and I encourage those of you who have gotten a little off track to do the same! (Totally not required).

Goals for 2011 Part II:

1. Write every day. Really. I mean it. I'm going to write every day, even if it's just one sentence, but by golly I'm going to make this a habit, even if it kills me. Well, hopefully it won't kill me.
2. Finish the 2nd draft of Half-Baked Magic by August 31. This second draft has been seriously taunting me. I've given myself deadlines to finish it at least three times, and that's just silly. This. Is. It.
3. Do something vaguley exerciseish a couple of times a week. Okay. Not a great goal, but I keep thinking I'm going to commit to a healthy routine and suddenly be running 5ks on the first day, so I thought I'd shoot for something a little more flexible.

So Happy Mid-Year tomorrow, everyone! Eat some corn on the cob and watermelon, and watch the fireflies tonight (that is if you live somewhere where there are fireflies like i do now) before starting in on your awesome new goals! Or, you know, just watch some TV and cheer me on from wherever you are. That works too.
