Hello all!
Wow. A lot has happened since Christmas. Can you believe it? lol. It's only been about three weeks! Oh well.
So, I'll just recap the details since Christmas. I was off from work for the last week and a half of the year. So, Ames and I went to Salt Lake to hang out with Ames' family for New Years. I have never had any luck with New Year celebrations. Seriously. I think last year was the first one I have ever had where nothing stupid happened. It was pretty rad. We hung out and played Just Dance on Wii and relaxed, which was what I totally needed. :)
Anywho. Work and school has started up again. I need to really nail down a schedule for school and work and working out. It's tough because I either have to exercise EARLY in the morning (let's be honest...is this really even an option? I can barely get up by 7:15 every morning. :S) or after work...either right after work or around 9:00. In all honesty, I don't really want to work out after work. I am EXHAUSTED after work. All I want to do is chill out. I mean I have homework, but I would rather just focus on homework after work. I guess early in the morning is the only time. Maybe I'll try it a couple times next week to see how I like it.
Have you made resolutions for 2012? I have a few. I decided this year that I need to just make three or four resolutions so that I can realistically accomplish them all. So, here it goes:
1. Get healthy.
• This has been a life-long goal, but I think I am ready for it this year. I have broke it down into a couple sub-resos so I can focus on small steps:
- Go to the gym at least twice a week. I think I'll start this in February. I need to figure out what will work with my schedule.
- Eat out MUCH less than last year. I eat out a lot. I am honestly working on cutting back on that. I have started cooking at home. All I have to do is start bringing it to work. :)
- Work on the "mental" obstacles that I have regarding weight, and develop a healthy relationship with food. I know that this is probably going to be the hardest step, but I am stronger now than I have ever been when it comes to self-mastery. I can do it. :)
2. Get a new car.
• Sadly, Blanche is going the way of the world. :(
3. Pass all my classes.
• This is non-negotiable. I had to pay for a class once that I failed, and I won't do it again! :S
4. Work on my spiritual worthiness.
• This will probably be the toughest on me emotionally. I have a lot of things to work out within myself. Sadly there isn't anything that anyone can really do to help with this other than be supportive. However, this is something that is becoming more and more imperative for me to accomplish. This IS the year.
That's is! 2011 was a rough year for me, so I am looking to make 2012 AMAZING-er. :)
Here is the song for the day. A hui hou! (Until next time!)
Dog Days
Are Over
by: Florence And The Machine
Happiness, hit her like a train on a
track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Because here they come
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
'Cause here they come
