New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s Resolutions


Get up earlier so I can have time to eat some breakfast so I won’t get a hunger pain when I pass McDonald’s on my way to work. :)

Avoid the middle aisles for the most part at the market.

Avoid eating anything white in color (except cauliflower and stevia. I can have those). Most foods white in color are natural starches which are bad, especially if you are diabetic.

Less meat and more veggies. (I can do this! I hope. I love meat.) Maybe just eat more fish. Baked, of course, not breaded.

(Anyone seeing a trend here.)

Notice that I am not vowing to lose so much weight. I am vowing to be an healthier eater. Weight loss will come with that.

Check my blood sugar more often.

Since my position at work has changed to a less mobile one I vow to do more exercise.

An easy way to exercise-I will finally get around to painting my house. Time for some prettier walls. Except for Cory’s room. He will most likely want black walls. I think he is a closet vampire. I mean, I will go through the house and open all the curtains and he will go behind me and close them back. I love sunlight.

Plant a small garden. With the bad weather hurting the produce I really do need to plant salad stuff. And a small herb garden. And flowers. (now how do I keep the rabbit, deer, and neighbors out of it?) Really need to do some work on the porch, too.

De-clutter the house. Especially since I think my youngest nephew wants to move in with me this summer so he can be closer to the college he wants to go to. That means two young men living with me. I’m going to have to get mean with them on some house rules.

Pay a little extra on my car payment so I can get it paid off this year. (It will mean less lattes, but since I’m not suppose to have those anyway…) :(

Post more blog entries. I have been lacks this year with this.

Do more artwork. I would love to sell more, so to do that I must do more. I would love to find a “style” that could be licensed. I will work on that this year.

I think that is enough and these are smallish enough that I might could actually keep them. lol

Now for a project I hope to do. I am a poet and writer as well. I would love to get all of my writings together and “published”. I will most likely do the publishing myself and I would like to add artwork with them. I would love to have this done by next Christmas. So, wish me luck!

I also have a "blog party" I want to do. No one has to join, but if you want to more on this later.

An Insight

Today I learn something about myself. I have never been a patient person. I hate to wait on anything, but today on my way home I decided I needed something really bad. An end of the work week perk. So I sat in my car-texting, writing, going over my calender, inching forward only a few feet at a time when I happen to glance at my car clock. I was only two cars away from my prize and realized I have been in line for twenty minutes! That must be a record for me. As I reached the window and forked over my hard earned money I admitted to myself.
I am a hardcore Starbucks fanatic. Especially when a Venti Pumkin Spice Latte with a double shot of epresso was waiting for me. Yummm, Heaven!

A Poem-Machu Picchu Dance

I dream of dancing under a full summer moon
among the mighty stone ruins of Machu Picchu
to the wild music of the high places
and ghostly whispers of pipes and drums

Have you ever awaken from a deep sleep with the remnants of a dream bugging you-a song maybe, or a snatch of music, or a poem, or just a color never really seen in nature, only to have these fade quickly upon waking. That really tears me up when I do that. I can only console myself that when I get to Heaven I will finally hear that music and see that color.

What kind of witch are you?

You are an Air Witch! The Material Element of Air is at your command. Ever the optimist, you try to lift the spirits up of whomever is around you. You have a great sense of humor, and though you may have the facade of being an air head, you really are quite wise. You like to make people think, and often have a riddle or two for a bored mind. You are probably the hardest witch to piss off, but if someone hurts someone you love, you'll leave them breathless.Common Powers:Aerokinesis- the ability to control air with one's mindLevitation- the ability to suspend oneself in the airTeleportation- the ability to travel great distances or to hard to reach places in the blink of an eyeElectokinesis- the ability to create and control lightning and electricity.
