Wow, it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve had the pleasure of doing a Stream of Consciousness post. Because I had a rough December and pulled away somewhat from the whole blogging arena. And then, I had an awakening (that you can read about here) and I am back. I know you’re excited (all 50 of you that I’m sure read this blog daily, right?…..psych!)
Anyway, I have wholeheartedly decided that 2012 is going to be the year of ME. I am cutting back at work (finally, after attempting to for the better part of 6 months), and we are making very real plans to move south. We are working out regularly, walking the dogs, and going on dates.
My resolution? Is to let go of things I cannot change. And to get back to basics. For too long I have let a depressive streak settle in on me, and I’m choosing to let it go. I know there will be days that are better than others, but a new year was just what I needed to get going.
Also, my resolution may be to push upon you the wonderful qualities of a Christmas gift my Mom got Casey and I, called the FitBit…if you have any interest in fitness you would LOVE this thing. I plan on doing a full review of it sometime in the near future, because we are obsessed slightly. In fact, it is the sole motivating factor of why I climbed 60 flights of stairs yesterday. (Yeah, my butt hurts).
My other new favorite thing? The Pandora charm bracelet Casey got me for our 4 year dating anniversary earlier this week. I love it so much! I got him a canvas print of our wedding vows which, once it arrives, I will be posting about as well.
My least favorite thing of this week? Having to paint my pretty blue bedroom over in beige. As part of operation Sell-This-House-So-We-Can-Move-to-North-Carolina every room in my house will be beige. Blech. It’s quite sad. Actually the bedroom is half-n-half right now, because the idea of fully finishing a project in one day is quite ridiculous when you consider there are movies like The Devil Inside are at the theater waiting for you to watch them. Oh yeah, and you have 60 flights of stairs to climb.
Well, that’s my 5 minutes. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!! Thanks for being so patient with me. I truly have the best readers!!
This was my 5 minute Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. It’s five minutes of your time and a brain dump. Want to try it? Here are the rules…
- Set a timer and write for 5 minutes.
- Write an intro to the post if you want but don’t edit the post. No proofreading or spellchecking. This is writing in the raw.

- Add the Stream of Consciousness Sunday badge to your post.
- Link up your post below.
- Visit your fellow bloggers and show some love.
Have you slept with the fit it? Because that feature seems so cool? (http://thespohrsaremultiplying.com/sponsored/terrible-sleep-patterns/). That's where I heard about it originally.
Also, I signed on with @blogdangerously to do a fitness challenge. She is running 500 miles this year. I am probably going to walk most of it, but it seemed like a great challenge! I know I did about 200 while training for my half in 12 weeks, so this seems doable.
I love your resolution. I think letting go of things you can't change is a difficult task. I know I've worked on doing this in my own life. But, it feels so good when you do it! It makes me think of the song "This Too Shall Pass" by OK Go, which, coincidentally was the subject of my first blog post on another jennifer! (http://anotherjennifer.com/?p=9)
Glad you're back. I look forward to reading more about your move and other adventures!
I looked up your FitBit. Sounds similar to the Striiv device I have. I love it!
As for moving… have I mentioned I'm in NC and we're selling our house soon and moving north? I could make you a really good deal 😉
The second time I've heard of the FitBit this week! The universe may be telling me something…
Love your resolutions and that you're making this the year of you. 🙂
OMG, Beige sounds pretty boring! I would think people would be attracted to a house with a bit of color, but that's my thinking!
I think every room in my house is a different- bright but tasteful
color.
I doubt I'll ever sell it would take a year to paint it all.
btw my bathroom is lime green- maybe not so tasteful, yikes!
love your stream of consciousness post today!! keep up the great health and fitness work! 🙂
Wishing you all the best for 2012! 🙂
Great post!
I think your resolution is wonderful and you ought to be proud of that.
Ps.. Read through some of your other stuff, too, today. LADY, you have A LOT to be proud about! Great work!
I'm resolving to let go of things too. And trying to get the depression I've been under to lift.
I'm jealous about the Pandora bracelet. I got one for a gift for someone this year and now I want one badly too!
Have a really great 2012. Good luck on the move!
Hey there! I'm visiting from SITS! Sounds like you have some good resolutions going on! I wish you the best of luck with selling your house. We went through that last year for 18 months, then my husband lost his job and we didn't end up moving, afterall. Hope your house sells quickly!
I hope you had a great weekend!
What a great list of resolutions for 2012. I think the year of ME sounds great.
Good luck with selling your house. Beige does seem to be the safe way to go, even though most people consider it to be boring!
Sounds like a great plan for 2012! Good luck!
And I totally get how you love your Pandora bracelet. Hubby gave me one for Christmas 🙂 Their really nice.
Very positive! I hope you can look back on 2012 and realize it was all you wanted it to be. Good luck!
