A Year of My Premieres!

Earlier this month, as everyone does, I was thinking of what I wanted to make sure I would accomplish this year. I've been working on many things, but when you work on too many things at once, we all know, some of them fall through the cracks.

I kept thinking I wanted to learn a new skill and get really good at it to develop a new talent/hobby. I thought about it for about a good week; dancing, a musical instrument, karate, a new exercise...something I could compete in or perform to show that I actually could do the new skill.

On my way to work one day. I was listening to the radio and it was saying, "Are you still making your New Year's goals?" Me-uh yeah. "Are they all about your?" Me-uh....yeah. I was like oh great, change the station before you feel guilty. 

Long story short, the advertisement was about how I need to stop thinking of myself and save three lives by donating blood. NAOMI DOESN'T DO BLOOD OR NEEDLES....for those of you who don't remember. But when I got to work I came up with a brilliant idea instead of trying to think of just one thing to focus on (I'm not very good at that) this year I want to do things I have never done before. Conveniently, they had a blood drive at work so I thought I would put on my big girl pants and donate some blood. I had some co-workers who wanted to join in on the fun so they came for my moral support. 

I totally thought I might pass out BUT it wasn't bad at all and went a lot quicker than I thought. I even got some unlimited supplies of goodies after. Woot woot!! First one down for the year :)

I now have a long list of things I have never done before and look forward to doing things I have never done before. If you have any ideas let me know!
