So...
What could possibly be in this dog eared little journal I noticed while putting up Christmas decorations?
A great big burst of embarrassment that's what!
A great big burst of embarrassment that's what!
Why, its my New Years Resolutions from 1997!
Prepare to be amazed at my sensitivity and intellectualism.
Alrighty.
Just in case you can't read that handwriting I'll help you out.
Resolution the first:
"No more clumsiness! That means quiet times to center me for the day in the a.m."
Yeah...that didn't really work out. I'm still just as clumsy as I ever was.
And I'm still trying to get myself to have read my Bible in the morning.
I mean...
If I couldn't do it in college why would I expect to be any better at it with 3 kids?
Number Two:
"128 - That means aerobics 3 times a week and eating healthier and drinking H2O."
Yeah...that didn't really work out either. Moving right along (at a weight way higher than 128)
Number Three:
"Organization - That means do my homework (even the reading!) and use my day planner"
I love how I put an exclamation point after reading.
Like I really deserved an 'atta girl' for actually doing the reading.
Number four was:
"Get finances straight - that means balancing my checkbook (Gasp!) and paying all bills as soon as I get them"
Nice 'gasp' I took the time to write out. Getting a responsible husband solved some of that.
I highly recommend one.
Five:
"Simplify - That means praying about all decisions and not jumping into things...choose a few things and stick with them."
What in the heck??? I was in college.
I had practically zero responsibilities - what needed to be simplified?
Unbelievable.
Somebody slap this girl. I mean it!
Time travel back and slap this girl.
Like the scene in moonstruck when Cher slaps Nicolas Cage and says "Snap out of it!"
Six:
"ADPi - Go to chapter and check the hall periodically."
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Seven:
"Bible Study - that means having "real" relationships w/ those girls and preparing ahead of time"
Finally! One I'm actually now consistently doing.
One out of eight is great right?
Oh, its not?
Well, lets just keep going and see if we can up the average.
Number Nine:
"Spend more time with girlfriends - that means less time with you know who!"
I do. Lets move on.
Wait!
Rabbit Trail!!!
One night a friend and I went through our extremely detailed scrapbooks and pasted celebrities faces over our ex's.
Here was one of the results:
Look!
Rupert Everett was my date to the 'Grab-a-Date' social!
On a side note: man, my cousin Rusty is tall.
Alright...thats gotta be all for now as the resolutions go on for two more pages.
I know you are eagerly anticipating them...
