Happy New Year

2010 begins with rain and wind, in Seattle. It begins with motivated inspirations and goals, in my heart. This year, I desire to do more than ever.

A New Adventure
On Monday, I begin classes at North Seattle Community College. English and Psychology. These are the first two courses on my adventure to Occupational Therapy. If all goes as planned, I will be an Occupational Therapist in about 6 years, finally holding a degree and heading into a career of my choice and that suits me well.

The Usual
Of course I always plan an intricate sort of weight loss plan that never works because I lose motivation to track every bit of food that goes into my mouth and avoid going to the gym after a few weeks, always with a good excuse. This year proves no differently, and I resolve to get to the gym and eat healthier than ever.

Sustainable Living
On that note, I plan on seeking foods that are more organic, more environmentally sustainable, and more meaningful to my diet. I love getting my veggies from Full Circle Farm and just yesterday I picked up my first carton of eggs with them. Looking for some meat and poultry sources as well. I know there are a ton at Eat Wild but the list is long  and daunting.

Knitting
As I have recently learned the craft of knitting, I look forward to beefing up my skills and taking on more difficult projects. Next up: fingerless gloves. I have thoroughly enjoyed knitting and the projects I've created so far, and hope to show them here as well. I love the patterns I can find on Ravelry.

Domestic Diva
I love to be in the kitchen, when I have the time to pour over a meal or recipe. I am always complimented on how well things turn out, and as I rarely follow recipes, I take this as a sign that I'm just  a natural at it. My kitchen resolutions revolve around making, photographing, and sharing my creations more often. Skills cannot be honed if they are not even practiced!
