There are a few things that I would like to accomplish this year though.
1. Get control of my laundry. I don't have to go out to the creek and beat my clothes on a rock and hang them out to dry, so why can't I keep up with it? I'm always so happy when all the clothes are washed and put away. I feel like I have conquered some task akin to discovering cold fusion. But still, it is in piles in the basement...looming...becoming every larger, like the blob. I would like to be like my aunt Peggy and do laundry on Mondays and start my week off right. Maybe I'll try that next Monday. :)
2. Get the kitchen makeover completed. It's not going to be that difficult. Finish stripping the border that I started stripping months ago, rip out the icky white with gold flecks tile backsplash and replace it with something from this century and paint. Easy peasy!
3. Finish the master bath remodel. The tub surround is down to the studs. The floor is basically all ripped up. It has been this way for months. I have to have it finished before March 13th. The kitchen too. I will ponder how to do this...maybe while I am doing laundry on Monday.
4. Exercise. Ick! But the years are ticking by and my ass is spreading with each one. Maybe I'll start off slowly...with my Wii Fit. I really want one of those Ab Circle things, but Tim says they are a ripoff. I think it looks like fun. The people look like they are having fun. I know, they are being paid to look like they are having fun.
Basically, my list boils down to one thing...stop procrastinating. I am the Queen of Putting Off Now What You Won't Do Tomorrow Either. While this is a stress free way to live for a while, things eventually start piling up and then I get stressed out about it to the point that I don't care and we come full circle to the I'm Not Going To Do Anything That I Don't Want To Do. The list is long...it is not for the faint of heart.
So, New Year, New Me?? Probably not. But hey...maybe I'm too cool just as I am. I am literally laughing out loud with that statement. My life improvement goals are not ostentatious...but, really...this is me we are talking about. I'm going to go watch The Big Bang Theory now and contemplate what I can do tomorrow. Toodles!
