2014 came in with a mild clang in my household this year. The biggest change is in my self; I'm more determined, focused, and excited than I've been in a very long time. I thank my new husband for this; he's so encouraging and supportive of my creative and professional efforts, of which I have MANY. His is to branch into a creative field he's never done before (which I'm sure he will do so successfully), and mine is laborious and would take a whole other blog to describe.
I think I'm also going to reevaluate my Folio goals. My new priority: master the art of covering a book with the CoLibri machine. The first time I tried it, with the CoLibri lady present, piece o' cake. By myself? With a donated book? HA. It wound up covered and everything but it looks a little goofy. Just, slightly goofy, but enough that only I could notice.
Another is to make sure I take care of my tasks on time. I like to think I'm fairly decent about this, but I have a stack of book review magazines I need to get moving on, Bluebonnet party plans/decor, then good old Valentine's decorations, plus this, that, and the other thing. And then reading the books. Actually finishing them. I'm terrible at finishing things if I can't get into them, but I'm bound and determined to be better than the kids at this.
As long as we're going through unofficially official goals, my other one is to move more. Everyone has that yearly resolution to lose weight or become more active. I've decided since I spend a lot of my days at work, obviously, I should start using my time in a more efficient way. Getting up at least every 30 minutes, wandering through the shelves, making sure things are generally taken care of.
I'm also trying to reteach myself Adobe Premiere. This is annoying and challenging. Ugh.
Overall, I know 2014 will be an amazing year. I will continue to work with great people, stretch myself professionally, academically, and creatively, and strive to be the happiest Christine I can be.
