New year, New me bullshit

Every year on January 1st everyone makes new resolutions.  This year I am going to do this and going to do that.  By February (if you make it that far) you are still working on your resolutions but not as hard as you were in January.  By March you are sitting on the couch binge watching Netflix.

One of my things I wanted to do better this year was blog more.  Well since today is 4th and this is my first post of the year, I can already say I have failed!  So that is my first resolution failed.

I wanted to update my Etsy website and make start promoting what I have made.  But lets say number 2 resolution failed.

Everyday I get out of the shower and think "damn I need to lose weight.  I really need to tone up my body."  Instead of reaching for the water bottle I reach for a Dr. Pepper can.  SO yep another resolution failed.

I also wanted to work on Fight Like Dottie Benefit Group's facebook page (an organization I am involved in) on a daily basis.  Guess what I haven't done yet.

But instead of concentrating on what I haven't worked on and make myself feel bad because of it.  Instead I just have to remind myself every morning to get off my ass do something.... anything.

So now that I wrote this blog (gold star for adulting something today) now I am going to eat a frozen pizza before I have to go to work.

Thank you for reading!

Spontaneous Women

I have started this post five times now.  Every time I get three sentences into it I reread it and think  "man that's a load of crap" and delete it.  I want to tell you how spontaneous women make the best girlfriends/wives.  I want to tell you how these women dare to dream and will keep life interesting.  These women will jump from subject to subject without batting an eye.  They have so much energy and so much they want to share.

Let them explore the world even if it is just in books.  Let them live life to the fullest don't keep them locked away.  Let her go out with her girlfriends for the night.  Let her go listen to a band and dance and laugh.  Let her enjoy life.   Because when she comes home to you she will curl up to you and tell you all about her night.  She will have a sparkle in her eyes that will last for days.  

When she wants to take a drive at 2 am to look at the stars, take her.  Watch the sparkle in her eyes as she just looks up and enjoys the view.  When she wants to go to the book store just to look around, take her.  Stand a few rows away and watch her get lost in all the isles.  

Don't stop her from being spontaneous.  Don't let the sparkle die out of her eyes.  Because once she loses that sparkle she loses a part of herself.
