I was a fashion disaster tonight and loved it!

A quick thought: I was tired enough tonight that I made a huge fashion statement. The statement: It's ok to wear completely different and unmatching colors together if they are representative of the same sports' team. Above is a picture of me sporting my Kelly Green Shamrock Red Sox Hooded Sweatshirt and my brand spaking new Red Sox Flannell Pajama Pants that Athena gave me for Christmas! Speaking of Christmas... I look kinda festive there, don't I? :)

My usefulness :)

An email from my friend Melinda demonstrating the importance of blogging, or something.

I wanted to tell you the funniest thing. I was reading your blog and I read the entry about your car's catalytic converter shield falling off. Well, the other night Jon got home from work and said, "Look what fell off my car!" And I said, "I bet it's the catalytic converter shield!" So he took it to the garage and they said I was right=) And not to worry about it. Thanks for the educational blog entry!

resolutions

January 2 is the official holiday in Massachusetts--therefore these resolutions are not late :)

I don't remember ever being one to make a resolution. I'd just break it anyways. Can you honestly imagine me giving up, say, soda or caffeine. I could make all my resolutions attainable--giving up coffee or to go to church. But, unfortunately for me, that's exactly not the point of resolutions. Also, I would say I did fairly well for myself last year without a resolution. I made some serious progress health wise--conquering some major fears and pushing ahead despite the large levels of suck involved :) That all being said, here are a few, real-life resolutions for 2006:


1. ** **** ****** *** *** *********!
That's right folks, a resolution even too personal for you all (by you all I mean the masses of people few people one person who reads this. Besides it being a little more personal, I don't deal well with failure, so to safeguard myself from having others know that I failed, I just won't tell you. It will still bother me if I don't succeed, but let's not squash all hope.

2. Make more of my time.
I'm a procrastinator. Some things, when you procrastinate, aren't actually put off but they're missed out on. Such as, spending time in the word--if you've put that off until tomorrow than you've missed out on something today. It's not like doing the laundry, etc.

3. Sleep more.
This piggybacks on resolution number 2. Seven hours of sleep or less just doesn't cut it. Back in college I was lucky to get 5 hours or any sleep during finals, but the Melissa that now works 40 hours a week and is getting older just cannot handle it. It's really the end of an era and also a more unachievable goal.

New Year's Resolutions

well, instead of coming in a little bit too late with
a resolution, i have decided to post ONE resolution
now and think about others later :)

resolution 1. To post my resolutions here.

Ah, hopefully the satisfaction of having completed
a New Year's Resolution will inspire me to complete
the upcoming resolutions.

Time will tell.
