Journey & Adventure

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I don’t believe in setting New Year’s resolutions and I don’t plan on setting any this year.    I do plan on making and keeping a few promises to myself.   I know it sounds like the same thing, but in my mind, it’s not.  My first promise to myself has been to quit wasting time on that stupid Candy Crush game.   I cannot understand why I’ve let it consume so much of my life in 2013, but alas I did.   I deleted it from my phone today.   I’m done being aggravated on a daily basis by that thing.   Ahhh, it feels good. I also plan on letting go a little more – especially the things I cannot change.   My job sucks.   My co-workers suck.   My boss sucks.   Without a career change, I cannot change any of those problems.   Unless something else magically comes along, I plan on sucking it up and making the best of it until I can move along to sunnier climates.   This past year, w...

I hope 2013 brings you more health and happiness than you can possibly handle. I don’t typically bother making New Year’s Resolutions and this year won’t be any different. I don’t believe in setting myself up for failure, but I will try to eat healthier, exercise more, swear less, save more, spend less, be more content and have more fun than in previous years. So much for being more content though - I’m only into the second day of 2013 and am already feeling out of sorts. What’s the problem? Who knows for sure? I can’t quite put my finger on the source of my discontent. I have this feeling I’ve forgotten something important or something bad is about to happen. I’m attributing some of it to being back at work. Although I was here last week and again on Monday, it was different – it was quiet, no e-mails, no phone calls, no worries. Today’s vibe is much different. Something’s off…or maybe it’s just my system adjusting to Day 2 of eating healthy and exercise. I guess on...

Once again, I’ve been missing from the blogosphere.   I don’t know where I’ve been, what I’ve been doing or what I’ve accomplished.   The past couple of weeks have been a blur.   The holidays tend to rot your brain, make you stupid and fatten your ass - at least these things happen in my household.    I love the holidays, but I’m happy to see them move on.   I’m excited to get back to some sort normalcy in my life, minus the work thing of course.   Speaking of work, I’m still blocked from all internet sites that are meant to keep me entertained.   No justice in that… I watched Despicable Me over the holidays.   This is the animated one with Steve Carell.   It is the best animated movie I’ve seen since Finding Nemo.   It was so good – leaves you all warm and fuzzy. My mother-in-law had a fit that I took my Christmas Tree and decorations down yesterday.   She believes that because I’ve done it before ...
