So today, I'm going for an information dump, with the best of intentions to keep this going at least over the summer while I'm not in school. Wish me luck.
2011 Goals:
After being inspired by Tha Cote (as is often the case), I actually wrote down a list of goals for the year. I'm not going to post an exhaustive update, but I'm more on track than I thought I'd be, which is good. I've gotten off my ass and have lost about 12lbs since February, but that's just enough to piss me off and get me motivated to do more. Stay tuned. I'm consistently putting less shit into my body - over processed crap, meat, stuff my great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. The next step involves this little gem:
I'm not saying I'm hoppin on the eCig train, but I'm taking it downtown for an afternoon to see how it goes. This handy little guy is a disposable version so I can give it a test run without dropping a hundo on a full setup.
MBA:
I am not officially halfway done. I should be more excited about this, but at this point all I can think of is....shit, I'm only halfway done.
Simplify:
Well...sometimes I think I've made progress, sometimes I think I've made it worse. We successfully pared down the contents of the kitchen, to just what we actually use. I still want to do more. The garage now has a respectable "we should have a garage sale" pile. But I'm torn between actually taking the time to do that, or craigs listing it up - since I'm notorious for taking good care of my shit, and could feasibly get some decent cash.
The next step is the office and a lot of the paper things in this house...
Speaking of The House:
We totally got new floors put in a couple months ago. It seriously changes the way the whole place feels.
The Living Room, and what Tha Cote calls my chocolate floors.
And the kitchen, still shiny for the last cleanup.Derby Derby Derby:
I'm continually amazed that this little thing that snuck into the back of my brain months ago has turned into what it has. See my earlier comments about getting off my ass. It's kind of magical - finding something that makes me better, and that I actually enjoy doing. Kind of makes me wonder where it's been all my life.
So, I got through the first 90 days, and passed assessment - I remember thinking how excited I should have been (which I was) but all I could really think about was how much farther I had to go. An instant list of "shit I want to be better at" started forming in my head. So, as is my typical "steal my own joy" self, I feel less like I accomplished something and more like a beginner again. It's weird. I'm not normal.
Having said that, I've met some amazing women, and several of them are my new heroes.
I suck at wrap-up paragraphs - sad, because I used to be an amazing writer - so this time, you don't get one.
