So I am not much of a "goals" person. Call me strange (really), but I don't like to set goals because I rarely reach them and that means that I have failed. I know, if I never set them I will never make it any where or improve myself. I know I know. If I do by some miracle set a goal, I will scarcely write it down. Something in writing means true accountability and it means that I am obligated to do it. I HATE feeling obligated to do something. It makes me feel trapped, kind of chlostraphobic. Consider yourself lucky that you are a part of this great event. I, Kristen Thiriot, am setting a goal not only in my mind and in writing, but I'm writing it for all to see (or those that are privileaged enough to be invited to this blog). One of my goals for 2011 is...drum roll please.....
TO BE BETTER ABOUT KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH FRIENDS, WHICH MEANS CALLING THEM WHEN I AM THINK ABOUT THEM OR EMAIL THEM IF IT'S LATE AT NIGHT.
I am HORRIBLE about keeping in touch with people. I am probably the worst in the world, seriously. I wish that I was not like this, which is why I have made this goal. So please don't be alarmed if you get a phone call or email from me when we haven't really spoke in a long time. I do love all of you and think of you, though you may not know it. I would like to blame some of of it on my poor verbal ability. I am not good with words. I don't feel comfortable sharing emotions and true feelings (yes, I am sharing my feelings right now but its different, no one may ever read this and that way I am actually sharing my feelings with no one). I am not a touchy person, not good at hugs, etc. My dear friend and room mate at BYU games me lessons, several of them, on how to hug. She would get so mad at me and make me hug her over and over until I could give her a hug and mean it (thanks Kim). It was so strange and I laugh at it now, but I understand her a lot more now. Long explanation to all this, but it's me. I'm weird. Just don't act like I have come back from the dead when you see my name on your caller ID or inbox.

You are hilarious!! Did you get my email about this week? Hope we can make it happen!
I better be hearing from you daily then :)
Awesome! Best goal I've heard of this year because I'll get to talk/communicate with you more. Although - Ethan has done a terrific job communicating with Emma and I still haven't addressed the envelope to him that has been sitting on the counter for a month now. One day he'll get it. Hope to hear from you soon.
I loved getting your call and email!!! Honestly, you can't be any worse than I am about staying in touch so it is a good thing one of us made the effort! :) I am not one to just call and chat! Thanks for thinking of me and I will try to be better too!
