Resolutions

Okay so we all have these, in some way or another, just admit it. Here are mine:

Healthier living

Not just eating and exercising but mental health and happiness. I did really good with my inner growth this past year and I'd like that to stay on the rise and include the physical aspect to help match up a little more.

Origami

I like to learn new things. I also like being a student from the "self taught" academy so I decided about 1/2 way through last year I would learn origami and add it as one of my resolutions for 2009. In the wonderful spirit that is my girlfriend, Alix bought me a 365 days of origami. I just wanted to learn about 25 really well so I have plenty to choose from. Below is day one: A paper cup. This was harder then I thought but the nice thing is, they are very encouraging.

Time- Being On

I have a horrible sense of projecting what I can accomplish in a certain amount of time. I apparently think that I can get the list of 3 people done in 2.5 hours. When it's actually like 6 hours and that's if I cut some stuff out. I've always been notorious for overextending myself, I fixed one huge part of that last year. I no longer have the year calendar memorized to heart so if someone says "oh we should plan a beach trip in June" and it's only January, I could 'before' tell you the dates of each weekend and which ones I had open. I had long days planned out and constantly adding more stuff in vs. trying to take stuff out. It's not something you can just stop, you have to ease out of that way of life. I feel much more like myself then a robot of a person. So far I'm 3 for 4 with the timeliness (sorry you had to eat so many chips alone Patty).

Published

I have so many stories lying around, not just on paper or on a thumb drive but even in my head. I got really close to actually submitting one, then decided nah and instead of just shelving it I threw it away. Okay so I'm a bit of chickenbaby :p Rejection sucks.

So there I am for all to see. Happy 2009
