Some days are great, others are not...but no matter what twists and turns I encounter, you can be sure I'm going to write about it!

Excuse Me.

Dear Taco Bell,
Why do I love you so much? You are so horrible for my heart, yet I feel compelled daily about once every other week to drive-thru and take a morsel (or five) home with me. You've become such a vice in my life...you even have the power to manipulate me into thinking you're good when I'm sober (your nemesis White Castle has MUCH to learn!).
Why Taco Bell....WHY?!

I'll understand if you don't respond...but I really hope (for my heart's sake) that you will...Until we meet again...

Update

Resolution update:
This year is not starting out as hoped! (I'm going to talk myself into believing that it will only get better from here...)
I had my clothes put out, the living room cleared, the workout dvd cued, the correct time I wanted to wake up was set on my alarm, little-man's clothes and a diaper picked out...and this was all at 9:00pm on 1/1/08.
The next morning I arose to daylight....oh shit! I had forgotten to turn my alarm ON!
As far as I am concerned....2008 will start tomorrow, because the first two days cannot count...they have not gone as planned!

In the year 2000...and eight

Looking back at years past, I have come to the realization that I have never truly committed to a new years resolution. I have been asked what I was going to choose as my resolution, and I would always "say" I was going to stop swearing or some other well-sounding good intention that I had no desire to commit to. This year is going to be a little different.
I actually started thinking where this whole idea of trying to set a goal that most people end up not achieving came from...and found this fine article. I am going to put myself out on a limb, and decide to make 2008 a bit better than 2007 by committing to a solid, hopefully positive, resolution. Instead of making a huge goal to last the entire year I am going to start small and work my way up.
The first thing I am going to publicly admit to is working out every morning that I have to work. This is going to entail getting to bed at a very decent time, waking up early and exercising to a 20 minute tape. Hopefully, it will help me shift my way of life to one that is more healthy and energetic. My goal is to not miss a work day from now until early February. Hopefully by the time I reach my goal I will have made this resolution an awesome habit!
I am also going to commit to being a better mom. I am nervous about what trials and tribulations having a 2yo is going to bring in 08..and after sleeping next to little-man last night I am scared I won't have the patience to handle his toddler brain without having many "mom melt-downs." (we were ringing in the new year at a friends house, and decided to spend the night instead of gambling with drunks on the road)
I will keep myself honest with these resolutions..and most likely will be blogging about my struggles and successes...WISH ME LUCK...I think I'm gonna need it!
I hope y'all have a great 2008 :o)
