Time Flies
I promised an update to no avail. Its been a busy month for me and as usual my blogger is always the first to get neglected. My blogger and my eyebrows.
Work has been busy. The restaurant re-opened in December and initial reviews have been fantastic. The official opening party is tomorrow evening. This means I have to
get dressed up, smile on cue , sample some food and pretend I'm estactic about being there.
I've been restless lately. Thats always a sure sign that change is coming. I think I'm seeking new challenges and goals. I've been pondering this alot lately. What leaps and bounds can I take in 2007? I've drafted a very rough list; I've chosen to omit the generic goals everyone makes and have mine more specialized.
Drumroll please
1. Learn how to actually snowboard in the right direction . I'm currently boarding down the hill backwards on a toe edge. Not very graceful.
2. Give yoga an honest try. I'm a weight lifter. Yoga is for pansies. Thats what I've said all along
yet my recovery is too slow and I think its lack of stretching adequately. I'm giving it a try but I refuse to wear those girly fat ass yoga pants.
3, Take the Goalie Coach clinic. I already have my certification for coach, but with Drew running with her passion for goalie, I'd really like to take a specialized course in goalie training so I can help her.
4. Cook more. Yes, you heard it. I'm so lazy when it comes to cooking. Its not a problem for me. I eat mostly raw, organic foods anyway but the girls are sick and tired of frozen foods, take out or scrambled eggs and toast. I need to expland their menu for the nights when Chef Scott is working.
5. Control my clothes shopping a little. There was a day not long ago when I'd buy a new outfit and be dying to wear it the next day. Lately, I've been buying so much, I actually forget to wear it. That can't be good. I'll devise my own therapy plan. Walk around the mall with no credit cards, no debit cards and only coffee money. Think I can do it?
6. Update the scrapbooks. If I don't update the younger girls scrap books I'll be paying for it in bills from the Psychologist later. My eldest has an expansive scrap book filled with every single mile-stone imaginable. The middle child has bits and pieces with large age gaps inbetween. The youngest has... well... baby foot prints and a hospital tag. Perhaps this should be moved to #1
7. Wear high heels once in awhile. Heels are like clown stilts to me. Even 2 inch heels scare me.
I live in converse hightops and vans slip on shoes 24/7. I'm 35 and I should probably act it sometimes.
8. Ditto for my work attire. Unless I have a bank meeting, I never dress up. Dressing up for me is jeans, a turtleneck and boots. Typically, its cargo's , a hoody and converse. Must change that
9. Experiment in my garden this year. I want to plant a rasberry bush or bushes. I also want to try corn on the cob.
10. Finish my certificate for personal trainer. I already know that this is the biggest step of all, not because of the course but rather because of what it will mean. It's the beginning of a very important door being opened.
I have so many more, but let me sink my teeth into these for the next 6 months.
