5 Things and resolutions :)


So how has your year been so far?  Mine seems to be speeding by a bit.  I wanted catch my breath and record some of it here.

So, I'm partly doing my resolutions.  Let's start off with that.  I had the bad experience of trying to get a book club together and none of them showing or, for some, not even texting back.  Of course I was annoyed.  Now, unless someone asks me to join, I will not start my own.  Divested too much time on that....just a shame and waste of time.  I'll read for myself any try to learn about new books by myself.  So yeah, I'm not giving up on Resolution #8!!!  Never say die!! :)

I am actually also doing something about Resolution #2.  I'm currently reviewing insurance plans for myself.  I already have 3 beneficiaries in mind.  Hehehe, NO I won't tell. ;)  So far so good.  The lady I'm speaking to is nice and explains things well, which I need especially since it's all numbers!!! (my weakness is math. I hate it and have never seen the point of learning more than multiplication and division.)

I wanted to also do the 5 Things again like I did HERE :)  Seems like a nicer way to pass the time and get stuff out.  It's also a good way to put things into FOCUS. 

OK!  Let's begin.

TO ELIMINATE

1. My temper.
2. Unnecessary bullshit.
3. A few pounds. (OK FINE. More than a few)
4. Unhealthy habits.  Smoking and drinking, gradually.  Eating midnight snacks must GO.
5. Mess in the housey.


WANT / NEED

1. More time.




2. More sleep / rest.




3. More money (hahahaha!)




4. Bicycle, bicycle, bicycle.




5. Water heater and shelves that we bought to be installed!!! :)

3 Years of just cold water is enough penance I reckon.  And I actually feel good that I had a little bit of a hard time with this section, which I see to mean that there isn't much that I need or want. :)  Closer to contentment.  I like that.  :D

THANKFUL FOR

1. C and his super powers...admittedly, they're human super powers. It's good enough for me!
2. My new job and office.  It's like a second home and my brain is getting a nice workout.
3. Water
4. Neighbors and friends.
5. Being able to say something bad (perhaps) in a way that does not give offense (as it should be).

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!!!!

cool stuff

I haven't written in a LONG time I know, but I'm still trying to get the hang of the new job etc, so I'm so glad to find time to blog right now!!! :)

Cool and wonderful hat....I'd wear it, but not in the tropical Philippine heat.

A BEAUTIFUL BIKE, that's giving me ideas for the bike I'm planning to buy this weekend! :)http://www.doubletakesblog.com/2010/01/alexander-girard-for-electra-bikes.html

Really cool paper folds...who would've thought?!

WEEEEEEEE!!! :)
