2. Goals?
2Nov2009 Filed under: Careers and Transition, Family and Friends, Health and Beauty Author: AkirahWyattSo my good friend Rebecca over at Modite does this thing each month where she lays out about five or six goals for herself. Then at the end of the month, she evaluates whether or not she has met her goals. With that said, here are my goals for the month of November:
1. Kick some NaBloPoMo ass!
2. Speak no soda, hear no soda, drink no soda.
3. Hang out with my girlfriends more. I miss them!
4. Put more effort into my appearance, specifically in the area of clothing. Take pictures of my sexy outfits and post them to the blog. Rinse and repeat.
5. Write at least one post for Gals Guide a week.
6. Attend an open house for Pitt’s School of Social Work and start my grad application for the MSW program.
Only one of these goals is career-oriented and I like it that way. After spending four months unemployed and finally finding a good vocational fit for myself (for right now, anyway), I need to focus on other areas in my life.
What goals are you guys setting for yourselves this month?

I’m also NaBloPoMo-ing for the second year in a row. Except this year I’ll complete it.

I didn’t know you officially decided to apply to Pitt! We could possibly have classes together at some point. Yay
Good goals, too, by the way.

“Take pictures of my sexy outfits and post them to the blog. ” – I love when bloggers do this. And I want to start doing this too. Do you read What I Wore? Also, send along any fashion blogger suggestions… it’s my new thing at the moment
Thanks for participating!

This is awesome. I think by publicly posting monthly goals you kinda have to try harder at them. I started the ” Speak no soda, hear no soda, drink no soda a few years ago. I’ve never looked back. Goodluck!!

weird coincidence! I’m also doing NaBloPoMo and no sodas for this month. So far, so good…but it is only 3 days in! good luck with your list!

Hi Akirah! It’s not the soda: it’s the sugar in the soda.
A nice tall glass of soda with plenty of your favorite fresh fruit squeezed in–lemon, lime and orange are popular “mix-ins”–is both refreshing and infused with that Vitamin C!
If you like the bubbles–and I know I do–give it a try!

I’m already 4 days behind, but that still leaves me 26 days to achieve NaNoWriMo!! I don’t know why, but writing a novel in 30 days seems a little less daunting than writing a blog post *every single day* for the month of November. Call me crazy, but that’s my goal. I think it’s because it’s the ginormous kick in the arse that I so desperately need!
