Sadly, I have broken the chain for doing yoga/meditating and Photo 365. I really tried to keep up with this technique, but lost focus due to various factors. I accidentally forgot to take a picture yesterday, and being sick has really been cutting into my yoga practice around here. Meditating was a lot more easier to manage when people around here weren't sick, and constantly disturbing me.
Weirdly enough, I am still consistent with blogging everyday (which I think everyone here appreciates!). I think the study for keeping a resolution/goal was right-you need to do the resolution at least a month or two beforehand to make it stick during the new year.
To keep things simplified, I'm going to modify the Photo 365 project into a theme for each month. I will probably follow Words To Shoot By's example, and just take photos I think best reflect the theme of that month. I could also go by what my favorite photographers do, and just take a bunch of photos during every month, and then pick my favorites when New Year's Eve rolls around again.

New Year's Day 2013
Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all love, hope, peace, and joy during this secular New Year! <3
Anywho, this New Year has been starting off pretty fantastic, for the most part.
Ian and I both rolled twenties on a d20 dice. Rolling the dice has basically been a tradition of mine on New Year's since my old group started it. I don't associate with them very much anymore, but I still keep this tradition going out of good memories and force of habit.
I still need to give myself a New Year's tarot reading. :X
As long as I have completed this blog post by midnight PST (it never goes to MST on my end, like it should, so I only count PST), I will have completed my daily goals for this New Year, and have not broken the chain! Woohoo!
On that note, I'm still feeling the burn from my first yoga asana of the year. It's so fantastic. Sarah was a brave soul, and tried out yoga for the first time tonight.We did the first sequence found on the first season of Namaste yoga. I give her major props as a beginner going in cold turkey. She almost made it to the end! ^w^
I'm missing the Advent Calendar on Neopets already. T.T
As from my last post you should know that I got a proper New Year's kiss. It's still pretty fantastic when I'm thinking about it. ;P
My laundry still needs to be done. Undone laundry = bad Feng Shui for the New Year unless corrected quickly.
Ian, Brett, Eli, and I finally got around to doing the DBZ marathon of madness. We didn't get very far into the marathon after figuring out how we were going about things. This marathon is going to span over weekends/when everyone actually has time to get altogether. So far, we watched the main episode and the special both dealing with Bardock.
After being in lala land for a bit, due a heavy hit from the plum wine cocktails I made, I kind of woke up to Ian telling me that we were going to see a movie together. I totally thought he was joking, and went back to sleep.
I get woken up a second time. Ian found out that I had credit card debt. I didn't say anything to him, because I honestly didn't know about going around and explaining it to him. It also didn't help that I kept forgetting to tell him. Long story short, I'm taking care of this situation entirely this time, and will not need any help...and that feels empowering, in a way. Feeling like you have to be a responsible adult sucks sometimes, though.
I get ready in a breakneck fashion after that debt discussion. We finally got to see Les Miserables together. I think the movie did itself major justice. You could tell since I was blubbering a good portion of the movie. Ian admitted that he teared up too; he also really enjoyed it.
On that note, he's trying to find the best soundtrack that would do Les Mis fans proud. Anyone know the best soundtrack released to date? Help!
Ian and I swore to never bicker on holidays again, as best as we could. Yesterday really hurt us both. I'm glad we made amends. We even pinky promised. I only do that for the promises I plan on taking to the grave.
Dad picked up Evelyn and me past 3 p.m. After we got to my folks' house, we ate a bunch of food and hungout with my side of the family. Ian only didn't go due to sleeping for work. Hanging out was quite nice, especially since Remi wasn't barking. We also made mom's night.
Oh, and screw traditional champagne (lols Just kidding! Champagne is still pretty tasty. :P )-Plum wine is the right way to ring in the New Year! ;D

"Don't Break The Chain!"
I stumbled upon the "Don't Break the Chain" method of getting your goals done earlier this morning.
I plan on doing this for the entirety of 2013, as I'm convinced this method will work out in my favor. I'm tired of feeling lazy, and at least this way, I'll feel productive.
So far, I've printed out my goals I have in store, along with three yearly calendars with three specific goals that I'm shooting for. They happen to be labelled as "Photo 365," "Yoga/Meditation," and "Blogging Everyday."
If I think of any more goals that I'm comfortable posting, I'll post them on here.
Wish me luck! ^w^
