Although I hadn't actually shared this with y'all, I'd made the resolution that this year, I would write on my blog every day, or at least post a picture or something...and here it is the third already, big fat fail on my part! oops. Please accept the above slideshow of some of my favourite pics of 2008 as a half assed apology. (oh Miss Lis! a bunch of fucking pictures we've already seen! wow! thanks!!)
Kel sent me a meme some time back, 7 things about me or some such mullarkey...much like all my other well intended blog plans, it never came about, so here, with apologies to Kel, is a list of seven things about me that aren't quite true yet...yep...resolutions. Perhaps posting them here will shame me into actually coming through...
1. I work part time at a health club now...how did this happen? well, I woke up one morning feeling fatter than usual, and had the thought, if I worked in a gym, I wouldn't have to pay for membership, and how can I blow off working out if it's the environment in which I work, and my work peers are all fit? As it would happen there was an ad on craigslist advertizing positions available at the one gym here in Hudson, and oddly enough, they hired me. I know, I was surprised too. Anyway. Resolution: lose 35lbs by the end of the year AND be able to do 25 military push ups, and 10 chin ups....I think this is doable...
2. Get photo lights, learn to use them, make them pay for themselves by the end of the year. Also, I think, doable. Last year I eceeded my goal to make $1000 off my photography by $250, and I didn't even try (relating to that, if anyone happens to be flipping through the latest copy of Inside Counsel, look for my pics in there (credited), or on the website (uncredited).
3. Travel out of the country, I don't care if it's just to fucking Canada, I am leaving the USA at some point this year. I'm also of course gonna visit Chicago (weekend of Feb 7, mark your calendars!) Baltimore, and for my birthday (since I spent my birthday here last year and it was a maelstrom of SUCKS ASS) I'm thinking Vegas or New Orleans...oh, and I am SO going to Chicago for New Years because staying home with Dad this year SO DID NOT CUT IT.
4. Get published, sell at least one piece, and show somewhere...hopefully two of these are already sorted since I'm supposed to show pics at the Milltowns Return carshow in August but there's always a chance things can go to hell)
5. I will quit smoking AGAIN, perhaps this time it will stick, since I will be making this effort in conjunction with resolution #1, and the exercise will reduce stress, and thwart the onslaught of fatness. Fatness and related stress, in conjunction with Mum stress was my downfall last time, I can't really imagine Mum stress getting much worse, she comes home net week, after the stress of that transition...well...*hopefully* it will be better... I've cut down significantly since moving back here, ideally I will be smoke free by my birthday, we'll see.
6. I'm kinda running out of thing to resolve to...so lets just say, snog at least one cute boy, since I don't do NEARLY enough of that.
7. Write or at least post a picture here every day.
Okay so there it is. Let's see how I do....
