Every time I start one of the these new blogs I always kick my self for not doing it sooner. I'm just going to accept the fact that I'm not a very good blogger and for those who actually ready this dribble will get what they get when I feel like it!
So my bitches, its another year! We are coming up on our second birthday in a couple of months. It's hard to believe that it's been two years sense we started bitching and painting and drinking together. We haven't done much of it lately and I'm really sorry for that! With the holidays and the cold weather everybody turns into hermits!! I don't blame you. I don't like the dark days. It makes me want to go to bed before 8pm and sleep until 1030am. I am so ready to get my porch cleaned up and get back to enjoying my summer days!
I'm even more ready to get down to the P.O.P. and do some camping. For those of you who don't know what that is: My dearest friend Ashley lives out in Morristown, IN on a beautiful piece of property that butts up to the Big Blue River. We take like to set up tent city down of the beach of the river and spend our evenings around a very carefully tended camp fire. Ashley is our resident fire bug. She stokes a mean fire yo! We like to take out tubes to float around on the river. We sometimes canoe the Big Blue. It's magical down there. I like to joke that I'm moving in when I go down there. I AM SO READY TO GET BACK!!!
Best part of my summer last year was taking my air mattress out to the middle of her yard and sleeping with out a tent and just watching the night sky! The owls and coyotes sing a song like no other!
I think maybe I should think a little more in terms of Spring THEN Summer. I love what spring brings. The rebirth of the world. New beginnings. I never really think New Years Day brings a new year. I believe it's more the beginning of life that brings the new year. Those little tiny purple flowers that start popping up in the most random places... Those are my favorite!
I had mentioned in the DBWP Group that I was thinking about writing a blog towards New Years Resolutions. I never really thought about making any until I heard someone talking about them on the radio and then seeing someone post one of those silly eecards. I didn't really think I was going to set any at first. But I've sense joined that large percentage of people who want to drop some weight.
I've decided that the best way for me to go about it is to start out small. I hate starting the new work out and hating life because my body is so FN sore that I can't move or pick any thing up. So the first week of January I started with a few sit ups and crunches and leg lifts and some yoga. And I've increased it little by little. I've also added in some hula hoop time in my basement. I still feel a little sore, but not so much that I don't want to do it anymore! It's just sore enough that I'm motivated to go and do it again. Also... I'm trying really hard not to eat fast food. It's so easy to do. But Duh has been really good about helping out with making dinner and we've been eating pretty well. I'm hoping this will actually stick! The holidays were NOT nice to me. I can't believe how much I weigh!! UGH!! I have dropped about 5 pounds already. So, I'm doing something right!!
Did anybody else sign up for the same resolution? I want to start walking again when it gets warmer. We used to meet on Sunday's to walk the neighborhood. I know some of you are my neighbors. Anybody interested in starting a gang???
