A Year to come.

So here it is, the New Year’s post. I’ve got some idea’s some vague, some matter of fact. Some for the long haul and some for right now. So here it goes, my New Years ‘improvements’

• Balance. Of Art time, of me time, of Spaghetti time, of Bagel and Weaky time, of less Facebook time, more house time, more Queen, Carrots and Frances time.
• $$ To keep where we are headed, and to finish what we started. I want to live a life where we are not living to work, but instead enjoying this short life we have, and working to live.
• I want to NOT shudder when I hear the word ‘vacation’ because all I think is $$ that we don’t have. But think of it as memories to create. And how I can creatively have a vaca with little or no $$
• Esty. Nuff said for me. I want to work in 2011 to create enough stock to start an Etsy store, and I just might have a friend to go in and do it with me. SO that means MORE creating for ME time!
• Breathe. This whole PPD, or PTSD is getting better. I will NOT be taking meds, even though I am still sick. BUT I will be doing what my therapist says. (and by therapist I mean amazing friend of 27 years who is more like a sister and has seen enough shrinky dinks to analyze me herself. I say so.) This means blogger, but a JOURNAL too. For those even realer moments (don’t worry I won’t keep you out of the crazy loop) and STOP saying sorry to end the argument. (I just did my first one the other night!) but to Breathe… just… breathe.
• ROUTINE! Oh my how many times I says it. I WANT a routine of sorts. A get out of bed start the laundry, have a clean sink already, coffee brewing, clothes laid out kinda day. Where I can invite someone over with out a closet shoving contest.
• Less ‘Crop’ more scrapbook. Sounds silly if you’re a scrapbooker, BUT I swear I spend more of my time preping for a ‘Crop’ and packing my WHOLE art room for a Crop then getting 7 pages done. And letting ALL my stuff sit for WEEKS before putting it away. I need to utilize my art room for ART! Go to the store to shop, but crop at home!
• On that note more ‘Craft’ days! My mom and I want to create a once a month ‘Craft’ day. Kidless would be great, I WUV my kids, but you can imagine the art that doesn't get done with small kids around. So some will be with kids, some with out, you just work around them!~
• Family time. I have my parents RIGHT here. Well about 20 minutes away, and I feel like I’m always going everywhere else but to see them. I want to just have them over for fun, cards, a movie night, swim in the pool, hiking…
• Of coarse organizing more around the house, and keeping it that way. Bagel’s room is a BIG mess, ALL the time, little people, houses, outfits, and my gawd could the princess and Polly pocket shoes be ANY smaller?! Find the time to organize my tupperware, clothes, and maybe this is the year we sell the pool table and get the BIG family room BACK to a family room?
• I’ve been saving this for last… you guessed it didn’t you? Wondered WHEN I would drag this beast out?… sigh… eat better? There I said it. Healthy, better, less. Whatever you want to call it. I’ve been on a Holiday buffet of crap since September and I’m HOPING this is the January. My PPD and PTSD is getting better, I have a clearer head and hope that when I get sad I can do crunches not munches… that’s kinda catchy huh? (it’s mine so don’t steal it) Right on that note, I’m thinking these two rules will go into effect… and probably kill me…

1. No Pop. I don’t have it around the house. I DO drink it when I eat out of the house, and when I’m sick I have 7up. But since Spaghetti gave up pop, COLD turkey September 2009 I should be able to!
2. This one just hurts typing it… … … … … … … no… I mean… NO… drive thru. OUCH!! OMG! I will DIE!!… CALM DOWN… you will NOT die… maybe some of your fat will… good thing… but HOW will you feed the family!?! REAL food? PLANNED meals?! What?! Who fits that in their schedules!?
3. AND no eating after dinner. Eh, that hurts too, but I’ve actually pulled that one off it’s not too bad. An early bed time helps that one too.

So how bout you? Did you post yours yet? I want to know!
