Violins, Spanish Lessons, and an Abundance of Delicious Indian Food

The first few days of 2014 have been rather successful. I have made some serious headway on my 2014 goal list. I might actually complete this beast of list this year! 

2. Lean to play the violin: I rented one from a local music store and have started looking into lessons. I did learn the first few bars of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star via Youtube… Not nice sounding yet but I'm trying! 



3. Buy only one handbag this year (and make it count) – I have not found the perfect bag but I did stop myself from purchasing a bag during the Kate Space Saturday sale. Seriously difficult! The bag was only $67! 

5. Learn Spanish – I just downloaded the Duolingo app and am already hooked. It is a free app with many language options. 

8. Learn more about wines – I had such a great chat with the sommelier at Rasika DC who helped me choose a region and grape to research first.



17. Read more non-fiction and try a new fiction author every month – My nonfiction reading this month will be Tina Fey’s Bossypants. I have no doubt I will love it as Tina Fey is my idol! 

18. Establish a date night with my husband – My husband and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary this past week. We treated ourselves to a fabulous dinner out at Rasika.


21. Maintain a budget – I bought a budget book to help me track daily purchases from May Designs. I love that not only will it keep me on track, it will be pretty little addition to my purse!

24. Take a tap dance class – I found a great Living Social deal for Adult Dance classes here in DC. Now…to order tap shoes!

26. Be thankful always - I'm working hard to look on the bright side. I've also set the 4agreements as the lock screen on my phone. That might seem silly but it reaffirms my goal every time I look at my phone. 

I hope you all have had a stellar start to the new year!
