Personal Life Goals:

I wanted to stay active this year. I've done pretty okay. The last two months I've been bad, but I feel decent. I even started a Jillian Michaels work out DVD. :) 

I also wanted to paint more. I've done some painting. More so at the beginning of the year, but pretty constant. I've even done some crafting! 

I will be announcing my favorites of 2019 Jan 1st :) Keep an eye on that! Also, I'll be announcing my challenges soon too (still deciding what to join this upcoming year).

2014 Wrap-Up & Plans for 2015

2014 is already over? What? Huh. That went quickly. 

Well, here is my wrap-up of the year:

 Book Read & Reviewed: 

83

Movies Watched & Reviewed:

22 

Challenges:

Read 80 books - accomplished (yayy!)

Conclusion:

A very good year, especially bookwise. I haven't read that many books in a long, long time. My original book challenge was 60, but I blew past that, so I upped it. Yayy! I am excited for the year coming up. :) 

2015 Goals:

Again, I shall do the the Goodreads challenge (I love it), I think I am going to try and get 85. Eeeeeek *fingers crossed* Also, one of peeps from Book Club shared this on the Facebook page and I shall attempt it. Some of them shall be hard, but it shall be fun. I highly recommend everyone gives it a go. 

*I will have my favorites of 2014 posted tomorrow. I'm still working on it. 

2013 Conclusion and Wrap-Ups

Happy Sunday everyone! I can't believe that 2013 is nearly done and over with. So crazy. I'm looking forward to 2014. 

Here is my wrap-up up on 2013:

 Book Read & Reviewed: 

51

Movies Watched & Reviewed:

19

Challenges:

Read 50 book - accomplished

Conclusion:

Not too bad. Had a few dry spells throughout the year, but I feel I was more active with posting this year. I know for sure I'll up my reading challenges for the new year, since I know for sure I'm taking Winter semester off (due to lack of money). Spring is still up in the year depending on how much Financial Aid I get next year since I no longer live with my parents. ANYWAYS. It had been a busy year and I'm proud that I was able to not only accomplish my goal, but able to go a wee bit over it. Yipee! 

Tomorrow I shall post my favorites of the year. I think I shall call it the Carole Awards for now on. hahaha. 

2012 Wrap-Up and Conclusions

Happy 2013. I know I've been absent this holiday season, but there was just so much to do and not enough time to do everything I wanted to do. I wish I could have cloned myself five times, just to do everything I want to do. Oh well... that's life and life is a hormone filled bitch. However, I had a ton a fun, but I did lack in reading and etc. I did watch a few movies though and I plan to write reviews for those someday. haha.

The door for 2012 is shut, but the door for 2013 is swung open. Time to take advantage of that. Good luck to all for the new year!
