In middle school, I had a friend who had a wardrobe. When she got fed up with everything, she’d say, “Screw it. I’m going to Narnia,” and climb into said wardrobe. Except that she dropped the F-bomb instead of the nicey-nice version I’ve written out for you…
I’m not sure exactly how old I was when I first read The Chronicles of Narnia. It might have been fourth or fifth grade—definitely before this incident and before the film came out in 2005. Today I reveal my thoughts on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe after my third or fourth read-through, now as a twenty-four-year-old.

At a used book sale back in April, I picked up a copy of The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. When I first saw the title, my reaction was “Either this is a classic and it sounds familiar because I’ve heard people mention it before, or it sounds familiar because it has a really generic-sounding fantasy title.” After reading it, I can say that it definitely is a classic, but I also have a lot of mixed feelings about it, which I am going to lay out for you today.

2018 is going by so fast! In this post, I review my goal progress from the last three months and adjust my goals for the next three. This post includes a lot of personal stuff that I don’t normally talk about on this blog.
However, this is the last update for several categories. I am only keeping the ones that I need the accountability in, and/or that I think you might enjoy reading about. Writing and reading updates are at the bottom of the post.
For more on my goal categories and tips for setting goals, check out the first part of Goals, Failures, and Achievements - Looking Back on 2017 and Ahead to 2018 where I share a bunch of links.
Three Month Goals Update
Family/Romantic:
I’m still going on dates with my husband on Sunday afternoons and/or Saturdays. Our five-year wedding anniversary was in June. In lieu of going on vacation, we have decided to go hiking several times this summer. We’ve been on a couple already, but we need to hike in national forests at least seven different days to make our annual Northwest Forest Pass worth it. The goal is to do that before it expires next year, and state parks don’t count because they have a separate fee system. I felt kind of stupid when I figured that out after I bought the pass.- Tuesday, July 03, 2018
