Checklist for 2016

It seems like coming on here to post my resolutions is the first step towards failure. So let's see if I can beat it by calling this list a "checklist". The things listed here are things that I would like to focus on in this year, but I'm not calling them resolutions. That way, if I don't work on them, no biggie. They might get moved to the next checklist for another time, or scrapped altogether.

**Use hobby money to fund hobby items. This is a no-brainer, but now that I've closed my eye shop over on etsy, I definitely have less discretionary funds than I did before. It is now more critical than it used to be to sell unused or no-longer-wanted doll items to pay for the things I do want. I am also able to use gift cards to buy things that I want. I don't believe I have a huge wish list for my hobby, but then again, I said that last year, and I still brought home more dolls than I intended to. While I don't have any dolls on the list this year, I still have a few dolly-related things that I feel I need:

•  27cm white obitsu--ordered & paid for with amazon.com gift card (21 January 2016). I just need Chi the Pullip Banshee to be more poseable, so she will get an obitsu. I'm dying to try the button method using the tutorial posted on Pullip Home blog http://www.pulliphome.com/obitsu-button-method/ instead of trying to sand down the neckpeg as I've done in the past. I'm excited about it. 
• A wig--ordered & paid for with amazon.com gift card (21 January 2016). It seems I have the worst luck with dolls and wigs. For once, I actually loved the stock wig that my Pullip (Banshee) came with. Unfortunately, an entire line of wig hairs is falling off the wig (it seems like the weft isn't sewn on properly), and there is some strand breakage. This morning, there was a sizeable bunch of hair near her boots, and it just doesn't look as smooth as it did when I first de-boxed her. So keeping the stock wig isn't an option. A pity too, as I loved the blonde & lavender mix of hair that was her stock wig. I'm hoping the one I ordered will work out. 
• Miniature Katana swords--I need two of these for Shin. When he's not dressed in his werewolf stock outfit, I have him dressed like a Shinsengumi troop captain. And he needs two katana for this...right now, he's defenseless. The hard part is finding miniature weapons in the right scale for Taeyang. 
• AngelToast Aesthetics face-up for Pullip--(paid for with doll sales money) Kei started off as a Pullip Fraulein head that I got in a split. I had no concrete plans for her, and she just seemed to go with the flow.  She is by far the tallest Pullip I have as she is on a Zeenie Girlz body.  Her one wish was to have a gorgeous custom-face-up by AngelToast so that she can stand next to her Taeyang boyfriend without feeling slightly unpretty.  She started on her travels this afternoon, so we shall see.
• Another wig--  I hope to get Kei the perfect wig by the time she gets back from her spa time with AngelToast; I haven't been able to find one that I like.  It's easier now that I know what I want her final look to be.
• 4 hanks of hair from dollyhair.com.  My daughter's Pullip is in need of new hair.  This is one of the Pullips with a scalp, so I was hoping to re-root it.  I just need to find out what color(s) hair my daughter would like her doll to have.  I felt like the Blythe Re-root I did in the summer of 2015 went more or less smoothly, so I'll try again with Pullip.

**Keep on exercising at least 3-4 times per week. As I get older, I've noticed that my blood pressure is ticking upwards ever so slightly.  I am not yet at the point where I am on high blood pressure meds, and if at all possible, I want to avoid going that route, so one thing I've been doing ever since late summer was to exercise.  I've been more or less consistently doing a walk-jog for 35-40 minutes 3 or 4 times per week in the mornings before I go to work.  I find that I'm more successful if I start off my day with exercise than if I put it off until later, when it will never get done.  I still don't enjoy it, but at least I've been sticking with it.  In December, I hurt my ankle, so that limited my exercise time, and it's still hurting me, so I've not been as good with the exercise.  I'm down to maybe once or twice a week now, but I hope to get back on the wagon.

I guess that's about it for now.  At least, that's all I can think of.  I'll be back on to add more if I think of anything else.
