Good-bye 2011

     Wow!  Isn't it odd that when you're a kid you can never really envision yourself being in the future?  I mean I knew that I was going to grow up and become a pediatrician, marry a handsome man equivalent to Barbie's boyfriend with awesome hair (see below), and have some daughters. Lol! So...1 out of 3 ain't so bad; even though my Ken doll refuses to grow his hair out!  Time seems to go by slower when you're little though and of course when you hit 18 it all flies by in a blur. 


Yes, I had this exact one back in the day


     It's insane to me that I've known Phillip for over 10 years now!  I don't feel old at all, even though we'll both be knocking on 30's door pretty soon.  Hah!  So anyways onto this year's resolutions...yes plural; I have many this time around and I kinda wanna take them seriously.  Normally I don't like sharing mine cause then I run into that annoying moment when someone says, "so how are you doing on such and such?" then I stumble over my words until I admit my laziness and lack of motivation.  I hate that.  And majority of the time the one doing the questioning is that I-do-everything-perfect-because-I'm-awesome person. Lol. I am rolling my eyes just thinking about it. Ok, I'll stop being negative now.  This year I am informing people because I actually want to accomplish my resolutions.

     The first one is to get back to a weight that makes me feel good. Not any particular number, just more confidence in myself.  Second one is to read the Bible daily.  I am a reader, I love to read, I should be reading the Bible daily, but I never do and I don't have an excuse not to.  Third one is to stop being a scaredy pants little girl and join some kind of women's group.  It can be a mommy's getting together with the kids thing or signing up for a group at church, but either way I need more grown-up interaction.  Fourth one is a tough one for me and that is to stop being a "potty mouth", as people here in Mississippi call it.  I have been doing better but I still slip up sometimes, especially if I stump my toe or accidentally make a huge mess by spilling or breaking something in the kitchen. LOL!  Fifth and final goal is to have more patience cause I seem to have none and I don't like being dubbed "monster mom" or "bleep-y". ;)

     There they all are!  Feel free to ask me about them and see how I'm doing, hopefully I won't wig out on you when you do, haha! J/K!  Happy New Year!
