This just makes me laugh! Downton Abbey forever!

The NO RESOLUTION Resolution

It's that time of year again! Today is the last day of 2013. WHOO HOO! I can't believe how quickly this year has gone! And like pretty much every year before it, people are looking ahead to 2014 and making all sorts of "New Years Resoultions".  There are all sorts of resolutions ranging from "lose that last ten pounds" to "learn a new language" or "eat more spinach" and everything in between. But this year my New Years Resolution is...*drumroll*...not to make a New Years Resolution!

I know that sounds weird and sounds like it defeats the entire purpose of writing this all down but hear me out. Here's the thing: I'm not terribly good at doing what I'm told. Not in a scary BA kind of way( wish!) but in a I was going to do that but now I'm not just because you told me to kind of way. For example when I was about 8 I took piano lessons from my great-aunt who is just about the sweetest lady you will ever meet. And I hated it. Not because I didn't like playing piano but because I totally resented whenever she corrected me or told me to do something. Which is basically what teaching is. She was just doing her job. So as you can imagine the whole learning the piano thing didn't last very long.

Anyway the point of this long winded story is I hate being told what to do or being made to do something, even things I don't even mind doing. Does that make sense? So as you can imagine resolution don't last very long with me. Which is dumb because esentially I'm telling myself what to do. But every year I make resolutions and don't do anything about them because I feel like I'm being forced into them. So this year I'm not making any.

However here's what I am going to do. I'm going to try to be a happier person. I don't mean that I have a hard life and I'm so sad or anything. I just mean that I'm going to try to be more optimistic. I can  be a real Eyore sometimes (oh bother no point in trying, I didn't think it would work anyway) I'm going to try to avoid that. I've come to the conclusion that it's better to look on the bright side, to concentrate on what you have not what you don't and not to compaire yourself with others. If you wake up and tell yourself it's going to be a good day, there is a better chance that it WILL be a good day. This isn't set in stone, everyone has crappy days where you want to eat chocolate and drink tea and stay in bed. But it sure helps. 

So that's what I'm going to do this year. Wake up everyday and remind myself of all the reasons I have to be happy. But don't get me wrong, that's not a resolution!:-p

Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting circa 1968. Love them!

So What Do I Write Now?

Why is it I can have so many good ideas at random times of the day and then I sit down to write them and they disappear? Lol story of my life. So because I can't think of anything intelligent and meaningful to write, here is the amazingly interesting stuff that's on my mind at this exact moment in time:

  1.Peppermint hot chocolate is DELICIOUS!!!!

   2. This is the least interesting blog post ever

   3. The new album by The Wanted is kind of crap, which is sad because I really like them. 

   4. I really want it to be February 4th because Romeo and Juliet comes out on DVD and I'm having major R and J feels. Did anyone get a chance to go see that movie in theatres? My Mom and I went at Thanksgiving and it was totally amazing!!!!! We were literally the only ones in the theatre and it was perfection!

  5. It is just unfair how hot Douglas Booth is! I mean look at this guy!

   6. I really really REALLY don't want to go to work😭

   7. One Direction's new album makes me proud

   8. I wish I was Olivia Hussey. Don't know who that is? Hmmmm maybe I'll save that for another time

  9. I really need to pee. Is that TMI?

 10. It feels really good to be writing again even though I sound slightly crazy...ok a lot crazy.

There you have it! I promise something a little more substantial next time😜

You know you love me (gold stars if you get that reference!)

Till we met again

So Here Goes Nothing...

Umm hi. I think there used to be a time when I was good at this whole writing thing.But I feel like I'm really out of practice so please, if anyone is reading this, bear with me. There isn't (unfortunately) some sort of life-altering event that made me decide to start blogging again. I've just been mulling over the idea off and on for a while- since my last post actually- but I've been busy with work and all that crap. But I've come the conclusion that writing is something I need to do to stay sane. I've been DYING to do something creative so here it is!

I'm not going to promise to update this thing regularly or anything because every time I do that it doesn't happen. But I hope that this blog will become a creative outlet or something and when inspiration hits, you'll be first to know.


Let's see how this goes! Til next time

Hey! I started a new blog! I liked the other one but I thought it was time for a fresh start. I missed blogging so I decided to start a completely new one since my other blog was a school thing for a course back in high school. This blog is completely for me. And the address is wayyyy simpler!

I won't be deleting the other blog or anything but I won't be posting on it. I'm going to take this a lot more seriously this time so I will hopefully be posting way more often. I'm also thinking of doing some vlogging so we will see how that goes.

Here's to a fresh start!
