I don’t typically play along with the New Year’s Resolution game but this year, for some reason, I really felt like I needed to get my ducks in a row and formulate a realistic plan for a few things that I want to accomplish in 2016. Here’s what I came up with:

1. Use my damn Rosetta Stone software and FINALLY learn Spanish. I’ve tried to learn for years and I kick myself every time I go to Mexico (which has become quite frequent lately now that I live in San Diego). I’m not saying I need to be fluent by the end of the year, but I do want to make it more of a priority in my life.
2. Move to the beach! My husband and I moved to San Diego for that beach lifestyle and even though we only live a couple of miles away, we never go! Parking is always hard but we drink too much to be able to drive there and back anyways and it always feels like a big ordeal. If we live there, I can wake up, walk to the sand with my coffee and my dog, and truly appreciate the amazing city I live in. Our lease is up in a few months, so I’m hoping I can really make this one happen!
3. WRITE MORE!! I’ve missed doing it and I always feel like I have so much I want to say. You know how many times I wrote on this website in 2015? ZERO. Not one single time. Boo. Never again.

So, there you have it. My (hopefully not too) cliché New Year’s Resolutions. I have so many things I want to write about this year and I’m sure I’ll think of many more as the year unfolds. My disgust for and disappointment in religion has only grown exponentially over the past year and I’m ready to start talking about it again. So, with that being said, I’m excited to be back and I’m genuinely looking forward to it.
