Anne Halpenny's Goals & Projects for 2014

Hey, I'm Anne. (ATL is my blog name "Anne the Librarian") I live in Los Angeles, I'm a librarian (currently with 2 part time jobs, soon to be reduced to 1 full time job...Yay!), and I just bought my first car. I ended up on ProjectConnect because my best friend, Stefanie, sister-in-law to Nora, "dragged" me in. Actually, I love organizing and I'm not creative so seeing other peoples' creativity is helpful. I'm excited to see all the ideas!

February: crochet gifts for my nieces & nephews in England. I recently took up crocheting again, only this time I’ve been a little more adventurous than just blankets.

 March: Help my sister organize her pantry. My sister’s New Year’s resolution is to clean one room in her house per week. She recruited me to help her.

 

April:
 

May: Endure to the End

June: Completely move into my new apartment and make one significant furniture purchase. I got my own apartment for the first time in my life; it’s a big step. I also realized how much stuff I didn’t have.

July: Be a PenPal with a girl for at least 6 months. I love letter writing and putting packages together!

August: sort, weed, and organize my recipes. I’ve collected recipes over the years and they’re in about half a dozen places. Now’s the time to get it all together, neatly!

September: learn to make one new dish (not sure which one yet). Now that I’ve organized my recipes, time to practice a bit.

October: Take at least 1 online course and 1 webinar in librarianship. Infopeople is a series of courses, podcasts, webinars, and training materials geared towards librarians.

OR

do yoga 3-4 times per week. I took up yoga 3 years ago and was pretty diligent. I’ve fallen off a bit but May is a good time, weather-wise, to get up early.

November: It’s National Blog Posting Month (a.k.a. NaBloPoMo)! I write a Reader’s Advisory blog, posting about each book I read, from Children’s picture books to dry textbooks. Follow me at www.searchfastrabbit.blogspot.com as I blog a new book each day this month.

December: Finish Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving. Too often, I’ve been shopping on Christmas Eve. Not this year!
