Are you there 2012? It's me ACG...

Nearly two weeks into 2012 and what's new? 
Not a whole lot. 


As I mentioned previously I did plan on doing the whole "Goals for the New Year" post, but at this point...I think I'm good. Of course I have a weight loss goal. Given. Of course I have a finance goal. Given. And then there are always the randos...cook more, smile more, take a risk, don't take too many risks. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 


See what I mean? Not taking that route. I have however decided it's time to give A Charlie Gal a face lift, and perhaps a purpose. What's that you say? I don't want this little ol' blog to just be about me? Well of course I do silly, but I do realize that I'm not nearly as interesting as the many pieces that shape this thing called my life. This year I think I'll introduce a few of my costars and let you in on a few Zuri secrets. If you don't know what that is, you soon will. If you do know what that is, consider yourself ahead of the game. I guess you can say that's where a lot of this began, and by "this" I mean "online this" of course. Before Zuri it was all pen and pad, and a word doc. every now and then. 


Ok fine. I take back the whole no posting on goals thing. I have goals for Charlie and here they are:


1. Find a way to increase readership (is that a word?) without being terrified of others reading something I actually wrote. 


2. Give this gal a new look. I love those lanterns, but they have me thinking that maybe last year was a dark time or something. I don't think it was, but either way that's just not how I'm feeling anymore. 


3.  Not waste too many hours on Pinterest trying to decide on the new look. (p.s. I'm so thrilled to make a new board!!!)


4. Guest Charlie's. Beginning with my bosse bouj zuri trifecta: "Chocolate Charlie" and "1/2 n 1/2 Charlie". More on those fine fellas later. 


5. Give ACG more of a purpose. What's the idea behind all this? Announcements? Events? Bands? Jeez, when did this get so difficult? 


6. And finally consistency. As much as I'd love to get in this everyday let's be honest....it probably won't happen. But I'll start off with a 3 posts a week plan. (Damn, that means I'm already behind.)


Ok, thats a good start. Let's see how this all plays out. OHHH yes, please feel free to call me out when I'm living in slackerville. We know that happens sometimes. Hmmmm, maybe I should get a male Charlie? A Charlie Dude? A Charlie Guy?..... whoa whoa, let's not get crazy! We'll see. 




Well here goes nothing! 2012 there is still hope!!!


Salute - clinky - clinky!
