A new year, a whole bunch of people claiming resolutions they will stop doing in February… or earlier. I don’t really have resolutions, more like things I’ve been doing in my life the past year or two. I was calling it, “Hey Ashley, stop being unemployed and get on with it.” I managed to get a couple jobs in the past two years, got married, and I feel like an adult? (Stated a la question like Ron Burgundy)

Here are some things I’d like to do this year to continue pushing myself out of my binge-drinking 20s…

and into my binge— I mean, tastefully inebriated 30s.

Continue cooking, baking, and learning new recipes, cuisines, and techniques. I’ve started out the year thus far by making “crockpot dumps”. A great time saving measure for us women who love domesticity, but are forced into full time work for some reason.

Pay off my debts as I have a goal to live debt free. Credit cards and school loans are the devil’s work my friends.

Learn/do/achieve something new. Last year I went skydiving, started biking on trails, and shot a bow and arrow. Next up: Scuba Diving.

To start 2014 a recap of 2013.

I quit TSA and got a job at the Las Vegas Review Journal. I am not a fan of sales, but it’s a step forward none the less.

I made a commitment to pay off my debt and I am still working on it.

I went skydiving.

I had a friend say she loved how “active” my husband and I are.

I’ve continued to improve upon and expand my cooking skills.

I bought two gifts for my husband that were not at all cheap.

I celebrated my first anniversary of marriage.

I hope everyone had a a great New Year’s Eve, now…
