i've decided to sort my life out a little bit and the first step was
my blog. i always find myself a lot more clear in the head when i've
been writing which has prompted me to want to post more... to process
things and open up a little more, if not only for myself than maybe for
the few, random people who may or may not have a gander at my blog from
time to time.
so, today, on the first day of twenty-thirteen, i have a new plan to write more and really
just change a lot of massive parts of my life. parts that have really
come to a head as needing to be done in the last several months
particularly.
let me elaborate and also resolve...
i plan to practice more patience,
within reason, though. i don't want to find myself being taken
advantage of, but i really do need to try and be more understanding,
compassionate and at ease. i find myself in such a rush constantly and
furious about even the slightest things. i don't know where this need to
have things happen constantly, instantly and my way came from, but i
hate it and the way that it makes me feel.
on the other hand, i plan to stand up for myself more often. and
not just myself... Muffin too. i get walked all over and so does my
husband and i plan to do a lot of standing-up and sorting-out of our
lives this year. i want for our lives to be healthier and happier. we
both deserve to be happy and we need to become more responsible for
ourselves and our personal needs.
i plan to do more crafting.
i hate how much i've let myself slack with my crafting. i am constantly
on Pinterest and filled with massive amounts of inspiration and still
find myself playing more video games or watching more Glee. i really
need to start doing more... i want to draw, crochet, knit, sew,
ANYTHING. i've got tons of half-finished projects hanging around all
over the house and i really want to just finish them.
i plan to start organizing my life.
it is in shambles and i want to pull it together. i want to get rid of a
lot of stuff (which is REALLY a big deal for me because i am a massive
hoarder, just like my sister and my mum and find it wildly difficult to
throw pretty much anything away) and have been running a regular
inventory in my head for the last several weeks... the inventory
contains a list of all the items that i a, willing to get rid of and
where i plan to get rid of them to. we'll see how it works out, but i've
been really working towards finding good ways to downsize and organize
and i plan to put a good effort into it.
i plan to fill my life with more fitness and health.
i am wildly unhealthy and it's getting out of hand now. the amount of
fast food consumed in my life is outrageous compared to the very tiny
amount of physical activity i partake in. i really want to make my life
more healthy and feel better when i look in the mirror because right
now, when i look in the mirror or down at my belly or even at my wrists,
i hate myself. i hate myself so much and can't justify getting angry at
Muffin or McDonald's or anybody else... i need to take ownership of my
health and body and make things better.
i plan to do a lot more cooking.
i used to cook so much. my home was full of baked goods and always
smelled of garlic because of the ridiculous amounts i went through in my
curries and bolognaise. i seem to have completely given up... and even
on the days when i get a wild hair up my arse and go out to get fresh
ingredients, it just ends up going bad because i get coerced into going
to get the new XXL Nachos from Taco Bell or something else. i really
need to pull my life together and be healthier and enjoy more me-time in
the kitchen.
other things?!

i really don't want to go over-the-top with my list of goals for this year, so i think this is a good start.
so,
welcome to my blog and welcome to a new, hopefully improved me. i hope
this year goes as well as planned. wish me luck and good luck to you and
all of your own goals for this year.
