...And this is why I don't make resolutions!!

Well, if ever there was an award for best intentions, surely I would be the recipient ten times over!  I laughed (OK, I cringed) when I revisited my little blog.  JANUARY???!!  Really I haven't posted anything since January?  Geesh!  Well honestly not much has changed since the last posting.

I continue to want to make healthy choices but sabotage myself at every turn.  I continue to try and be productive and am making much more headway in that arena.  I've given up FB and that has been a unique experience...more to do with mean people with too much time on their hands than anything.  I continue to peruse (stalk) my favorite cooking and crafting web pages, all the while dreaming of all the wonderful things I could make for my little monsters and wonderful hubby.

All in all though, life is grand and I wouldn't change a thing.  Life is nothing if not chaotic and I'm learning to embrace the chaos, organize it as best I can and enjoy all the little moments that make for wonderful memories.  Especially as we head back to school and fall sports...bring it!

I blame it on Facebook....

I'm feeling rather unproductive and motivated these days.  Its cold outside and dreary and the last thing I want to be doing is focusing on my tasks at hand.  And that's when I get sucked into the vortex of the Internet. 

First I catch up on my favorite sites, then I look for recipes that I might someday cook if only I could remember all the ingredients when I go grocery shopping or where I put the recipe. 

Next I flip through scrap booking sites and sewing sites finding all sorts or projects I could make (but never will).  Then I dream of being independently wealthy so I can stay home and do all these wonderful projects, while I cook and bake everything from scratch for my family, while I can and preserve every fruit and vegetable known to man. Hah!  Like that will happen!!  (The canning part I mean.)

Next up Facebook, and that folks, is where I lay the blame.  I can spend countless, useless hours looking at other people's posts, pictures and playing games.  Now me myself, I don't post a lot.  A few random thoughts here and there.  But you know, the whole seven degrees of separation really comes to light on FB.  And honestly, if I'm being cranky and sensitive and decide to rant and rave just because I can, I don't want it to get back to the people who caused my initial rant in the first place.

So hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and I will make my to-do lists and start marking stuff off.  And tomorrow I won't check FB every 2 minutes to see if anyone has posted something new that might be of interest.

Off to feign my extraordinary efficiency, all the while playing Zuma Blast and Bejeweled Blitz on FB.

Happy Monday!

The start of something great.....

Well like most of you (or a least a few of you), I have once again made a foot long page of resolutions for myself.  Why I do this, I'll never know.  Lord knows that by Day 3 I've fallen off the band wagon and horse whipped myself for having no motivation or willpower.

One of the things I've always aspired to be was a writer and one of my resolutions was to start my own blog.  Perhaps (more than likely) no one will ever read it.  I know I won't be advertising my mad skillz to friends and family in order to protect the guilty that may or may not be mentioned in the days to follow!  The one thing I do know, is that for once I'm finally following through with something that I've always wanted to do and is 100% completely mine!

My other major fete to be accomplished this year is to once and for all establish (and stick with) a healthy lifestyle.  I'm not asking to be skinny minnie, just lose a few pounds and start a regular exercise routine.  So hi ho hi ho its off to WW's I go!!  Joke is on me here as I can't even drag myself to an actual meeting but have joined the online version. 

Here's to a fabulous year!!
