Just Past Mid-Year Update on New Years Resolutions

I've been thinking about the resolutions I made at the beginning of 2011, I think it's time to check in and see how I've done.

Here they are my updates are in bold.

Thoughts are things and words are actions, I’ll be putting my resolutions out for the world to see.

Remember next Christmas to buy a tree skirt garbage bag to wrap the tree in when we’re through with it, and don’t wrap the trunk of the tree in lights. 

Still waiting to see if I do that it's important though, I don't want to have to do this to my tree again to get the lights off of it.

Stop licking envelopes, I have a sponge licker, and I need to use it. Licking envelopes is gross.

 I think I have only licked a couple, this one was easier than I thought

Read more and watch less TV

It has come to my attention that I am a blog addict, I read blogs most of the night, I started reading a book in January, I have yet to finish it, but reading blogs is still reading right?

Finish craft projects that I start. I have a bag of tampon angels that I started a year ago Christmas that don’t have halos, wings or faces. Two quilts that are half done, and an afghan that I started on vacation about 6 years ago that really need to be finished and donated. Which brings me to number 5

Yeah, so I got nothin' to say about this, but all of those things are still left unfinished

Give more, I give a lot of my time, energy, and money to family, work and friends, but not enough to the community.  

Turns out "my community" includes my blog community, I did try to help a little with the Tribal Blogs Con, I don't have enough followers to make a huge impact, but at least I tried.

I should stop drinking, but it’s all about setting goals I can achieve, so I’ll just say, drink less.

Around the first of the year I did drink less, not at all actually, then I drank a little more, then I drank less again, summer time more, now I'm back to less.

I am going to think before I hormonally speak. I’m all menopausal, and I am very snappy and snide when I don’t mean it. I really need to focus on choosing my words and tone carefully.

Still working on this one, but Lexapro seems to be helping.

I am going to spend more time with my family. Including my brother Lumpy Dumpy the Big Fat Ape, even though he stares at my chest.

I can't force myself to spend time with Lumpy, but I have been spending more time with my sister, and talking to my mom on the phone more regularly.

I’m trying really hard not to keep important notes on post-its, I have stacks of them with random info on my desk that I sort through periodically and toss.

I'm doing pretty good here, except for my desk had gone a little "Beautiful Mind" last week, I can't really explain it.

This one is the biggy. I am going to try to let go of the people that don’t give back the love they get. I’m going to try to let go of the things that are taking up space in my mind, my heart, and my life so that I can give more to the people who truly deserve it.

This one will forever be a work in progress, I have managed to let go of a few people, I can't say it feels good, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

So that’s it, it’s out there. Now I just need to stop procrastinating and get it done…

Oh yeah.

Stop Procrastinating

Getting better at it, but there's so many blogs to read and so little time :)
