Holy crap, I've been bloggin a year!

I can't believe it's been a whole year since I started this blog of mine. So much has happened to me in that time and I'm so happy to have it all written so that I can look back and remember all the smiles and laughs I've had. I've truly enjoyed all the comments and friends telling me how much they like reading my stories (It never gets old :) ).

In celebration of my year anniversary, I'm excited to tell you all that my job has stumbled upon this little diary of mine and decided to let me write for our official blog! I will soon be a professional blogger! I can hardly contain my excitement. Thank you job - you are the BEST.

Brooklyn Blogfest 2009

Apparently I am not the only one who blogs about Brooklyn. OK, I knew I wasn't the only one, but I had no idea that Brooklyn was "the bloggiest place in America." On May 7th catch some of the most popular Brooklyn blog authors share Insight. Advice. Inspiration. Resources. at the Brooklyn Blogfest in Dumbo.

I think I will attend. Possibly along with a fellow Brooklyn blogging friend.

I made some goals

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about what I want from life and have made a few goals for myself to get me closer. Posting them makes it more likely for me to make progress towards attaining them.

• Learn French. This is for two reasons. 1. I have always wanted to learn the language and 2. so I can move to Paris (which is hopefully a not so far fetched goal of mine).
• Get 1000 page views on my blog in one day. I have a long way to go. Do that many people even care what I have to say? I guess we'll find out.
  
• Make progress on the book ideas I have. The ultimate goal here is to get one published. I need to set aside time each week to work on this. Make a conscious effort.
  
• Make time for myself, and not feel guilty about it.
  
• Create a successful etsy shop.
• Become an iMentor. I want to help someone and I think this is a way I would be good at that in NY.
• Try a new recipe each week. I was doing really good at this one for a while, but I have slacked off.
• Learn a way to express myself creatively. I like to try a lot of different things but I need to find one that works for me.
  

Now, if I just didn't have to sleep every day these goals would be a lot easier to complete. Looks like there is a lot of coffee in my future.
