JUST DO IT

I think it's safe to assume that I suck at updating and keeping this blog going.  Every few months is better than nothing right?  So, happy new year!  I know resolutions are usually broken (can't remember what last year's was... obviously failed) but this year I'm DETERMINED to keep up with two.

1. Set a weekly/monthly spending budget.
2. Take a class or teach myself how to use illustrator better

How are these resolutions doing?  Pretty well I'd have to say.  I've been using evernote on my phone, which btw is an awesome app, to keep track of my weekly spending and I'm actually doing well.  Let's see how long this last.  Resolution #2 is actually going better than I expected.  I didn't feel like paying $46 a unit plus whatever the fees are to take an illustrator class so I've been teaching myself and it's so much fun!  Besides that, I hope 2013 will be a good year with some personal changes.  Hence this post title.

Some pictures from the irvine flea market.  Windy cold day probably wasn't the best day to go.  Either people packed up early or hardly anyone set up.

Bike Riding

For as long as I've lived in the OC, I've never gone bike riding at the beach.  The last time my friends went was over a year ago and I was out of town so I missed the fun.  Ever since then I've been trying to plan a day to go and a few weekends ago, I FINALLY WENT.  Yea, took over a year just to plan it.  Funny thing is, it didn't even take much planning so I don't know why I didn't do this sooner.  I felt like biking, asked the bf if he wanted to go, he said ok, asked others, planned what time to meet up and we went!  Huntington Beach during the summer can get pretty crowded.  We grabbed a bite and some drinks on Main St. and biked to Newport.  Relaxed on the beach after and tried out North Shore Poke across the beach for dinner.  Spending sunday funday outdoors is the best!
