So, remember how I ended my last post about adopting new hobbies instead of stressing? Pretty sure the day I wrote that post was the first and last time this year I’ve done that 😵💫 It has been 5 months since I’ve been back if that gives anyone a hint of how things have been going. Lots of changes, stress, bills and coping mechanisms over here in Chaotically Kaleigh-land.
This is a ‘welcome back to the blog-osphere” post for me so it’s going to be short and bitter sweet. One happy thing I do want to report though is my effort/progress towards my 2025 goals. I’ve included my list from a previous post with my current updates in bold! Hope y’all have had a great 5 months, hopefully I’ll see you back here again soon.
- Write in the blog (woohoo!) Well, technically I already met this earlier this year, but here we are again so I count that as progress!
- Organize my clothes into an app (taking pictures of them so I can create outfits like Cher in Clueless 💁🏼♀️) Still working on this, slowly but surely!
- Subgoal here – giveaway items I’m no longer wearing. They go hand in hand so definitely still working on this too
- Make Tres Leches (it’s actually cooling on my counter now before I add the milks so almost a ✅) Obvi I added the milks the day this was written and it was delicious
- ABC’s of dates with my husband (we created a list of dates with each one corresponding with a letter of the alphabet, i.e. dueling piano bar, escape room, farmers market, etc.) Not much progress here, I could probably check off a few things but not as many as I’d hoped
- Learn more Spanish – I paid for Babbel for a year so hopefully I don’t waste my money 🥴 Unfortunately, even less progress here
- Print more pictures – I bought a cutie photo album at the thrift store the other week and added this as a goal so it wouldn’t sit empty on my bookshelf forever. Good progress here, I’ve printed a bat
- Walk 500 miles (yes, I know.. you’re singing the song in your head – me too)
That’s all for now – ttyl internet friends.
Xoxo, CK
