My Time

I know this is the time of year when everyone makes resolutions and wants to better themselves.  I try to steer away from such things.  Reason being, I tend to not keep them, so I find it better to just not make them.  However, if I am being honest, I don't like myself.  I am not looking for sympathy or comments about how great I am.  I am being honest.  I don't like what I see when I look in the mirror.   Most days I don't like what's on the inside either.  It is not something that I have just began to notice.  I've known it for a while.  However, I am ready to make changes.  I've said that before, I know, I know.  This time though, I want to actually stick with it.  I've done it before, I can do it again.  I hope.

It's scary to admit these things, but I feel like if I admit them I will be more apt to keep up with this journey.

First thing first, I want to lose weight.  I get tired of what I see every day.  Yes, I know I need to get healthy, but right now, personally I want to look good.  I want to buy cute clothes.  I want to turn heads, I want to be the one people look at. 

For far too long I have placed too much value on the way people, especially men, treat me.  I put too much worth into what they think and what they do.  I don't want to worry about that anymore.  I want to be the cool girl, the chill girl, the one that's not looking at her cell phone will it to go off.  I don't want to spend my days thinking about how long it's been since I've heard from someone. 

I spend too much money.  I buy things I don't need.  Over time I have realized I do this to feel a void, too make me feel better about myself.  I want to save some money and spend less.

So there it is.   The things I am going to do to better myself.  Lose weight (even if it's for vanity), feel better about myself, and spend less money.  Fingers crossed for a successful journey.

New Years Eve (hopefully my last "Fat" NYE)

Hello, It's me!

Hey!  Remember me?  It's just been a year or two.  I guess I felt like I ran out of things to say.  Or maybe I thought I wasn't interesting.  Then I realized tonight, I missed typing my feelings for the world (or the three people that read my thoughts). Let's see, what has happened.... Nothing interesting I'm sure. I'm 30, that's new. I'm single, that's not. I'm brunette again, but I guess the blog word didn't see the blonde.  I gained all the weight I lost back, so there's that. I have been struggling lately, with just about everything.  Mostly, I am on the single struggle bus.  I have a bus pass and keep chugging along. I guess at this time of year it gets worse; everyone is getting engaged, announcing the are expecting, or starting new relationships.  And while I can rejoice with my friends in their seasons of happiness, I can't help but mourn my season of sadness.  Sometimes the season seems to drag on. I guess wh...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy.  That is totally not the case.  I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness".  I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man).  This year has sucked.  And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am.  It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again.  Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man.  It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with.  However, I know what I want.  I know what I don't.  And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve.  I would rather be alone and unha...
