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!!
