A New Year
Does anyone ever keep their New Year resolution? I would like to say that I am going to loose that extra 5 pounds that I got hanging on my gut that never seems to want to go away. The problems is my brain likes the chocolate crack way too much. Not to mention I have almost no will power when it comes to exercising. NONE. Simply because I HATE it!!
So, I decided to stick to things which I know I can not fail or at least be able to accomplish to some degree. For one thing, I decided that I am going to cook more home made meals. What I mean by that is healthier style, from scratch, and not out of a box. I actually feel guilty when I make instant mashed potatoes or what not now... Not to mention that Em is a little shit and only eats really well when it is home made. She is not really a picky eater with the exception that she wants everything fresh. She doesn't even like things microwaved... Lucky me, ehhh?
Another thing I want to do is learn how to take better pictures. Now that I have a Bitchin camera I feel the need to explore more in my photography interest. Besides Blogging which has been few and far between lately, I don't really have much of a hobby. I think this is something I will really enjoy and enjoy learning about.
The only other thing I really want to change about myself this year is my level of patience. It is a work in progress as I have been attempting this for a little while now. I figure either I can give myself a heart attack or I can learn how to be better at handling things.
With the new year comes Keith leaving again for Iraq. I learned a lot about myself during the last 7 months he was gone. One major one was that I am stronger than I thought and I can handle a lot of shit. Because of that I know this next time around that I will be in a better place. I know what to expect, I know what I should do to get through problems and hiccups during the day. I also learned not to put too much pressure on myself and to give myself a break. I do not want Keith to leave again but I have the knowledge that I/we will get through it. I do not fear it as much and I know to expect the unexpected...
Other than that I think it's pretty much going to be a normal year. It's going to be busy with Keith going on several training operations prior to leaving...Em still has her busy schedule... and of course I have a new niece or nephew entering the world...
So... What is your New Year resolution? Any big plans this year? Fill me in, I am nosey!!!
Hope you all have a Great New Years!!
PS... I added some updated pics of Em on her Picture Pages.
