Fixes

I once had this whole rant about how I didn't like making New Year's resolutions because they ended up being exactly the same as the year before. But I think it's nice to write down places in your daily routine or lifestyle that could use some improvements. It's a nice, subtle form of accountability. Here it is!

• Remember people's names when I am introduced to them. (I have an in one year, out the other problem with this.)
• Start waking up early (and also, going to be earlier) 
• Read at least 14 books this year. For 2014, get it??
• Unsubscribe from newsletters/ads I don't read or care for
• Limit purchases to a maximum of two new articles of clothing/shoes each month
• Be more courageous 

Okay, that's it. No one, but future Kimly, reads this anyway. We'll see where I am a year from now... 

Farewell for now, sweet world. 

A birthday of food.

Goals for the week:

-Become accustomed to sleeping at a decent hour (i.e. before midnight)
-Wake up an hour before usual (7ish...)
-Go for a run at least... 3 times (more like 2)
-Stretch out when I wake up and before bed
-Remember to floss every night
-Get a bag of clothes to donate this fall
-Climb another 10.c
-Drink water instead of soda
-Take my vitamins
-Drive less, walk more

So moving back home has been a challenge to say the least, mostly emotionally.  One of the biggest challenges, thus far, is the fact that I feel myself reverting to Kimly 2 years ago. That includes my horrible eating habits, rare moments of exercise, and lack of positive thoughts.

It's time for me to quit feeling bad and make the best out of what I have for now.

Anyway, time for bed!

Advice from an aunt overseas:

Love, but take care of yourself especially. 

Best person to gchat with pt. II

Isabel: hi
me: Hi Isabel! What're you up to?
Isabel: eating jello

Then she signs off. LOVE.

Explaining that it's a deal breaker if the person you date cannot appreciate Asian food and having your brothers agree.

We have our priorities.

I love my family. I can't even express how excited I am to see them.

Definitely still one of my favorite writers.
