Day One of 2013

I started the New Year off right with a kiss at midnight.

We got netflix and my man has been glued to the computer so many of the things I planned for this blog may not get out exactly how I planned. Like the giveaway, which I don't have a picture of yet, so (sigh) bear with me.

I started exercising again a few days ago. I'm sticking with it. If one of your goals involves fitness, know this:
It takes 4 weeks for you to see a change in your body.
It takes 8 weeks for your loved ones to notice the changes in your body.
It takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice the new you.
Stick with it and don't give up. Start now and be sexy in March.

I cleaned my house last night. I knocked down all the cobwebs and redid a few house spells. I tried something I found on Pinterest for cleaning my cabinets- microwave orange peels in vinegar for one minute. I dipped a rag into the mixture then wiped down my cabinet doors. The rag got so grimy and nasty that I threw it out. This is supposed to have a rich orange smell but I didn't notice anything. The cabinets are very shiny. I have a gas stove so everything in the kitchen ends up with a film of brown gunk on it. Gross. If I do this again, I'll pour the mix into a spray bottle for easier use. I think would would make a great banishing spell.

The release challenge is over but I plan to keep working towards my goals. I haven't exactly made resolutions. Instead I'm setting goals and each month I'll write a review in my journal so I can measure progress. Later today I'll do a tarot reading for the year ahead and I'd like to compare that to each month's journal entry.

I am almost done with my needlepoint. I'll post pics of the finished project and I have a lot to say about elements of the work.

Tomorrow (I hope) I'll have some journal enteries to share and the giveaway will be ready to go.

Happy New Year!
