As December is just around the corner (tomorrow), it made me start thinking about 2011.
I'm not one to make New Year's Resolutions for 2 reasons.
//one// I aim toward the goal for about a week and then I forget about them conveniently.
//two// It seems as though making it a "New Years Resolution" equals automatic failure no matter what it is.
I used to do the whole, "This year, I want to be healthy and lose 25 lbs!"
Two days later, I'm sitting on my couch surrounded by empty bags of chips, stuffing my face with Oreos and weeping uncontrollably.
Instead of New Years Resolutions, I am making a list of "Things I want to accomplish in 2011".
Same thing? Maybe. Worded differently? Yes.
Here is my list thus far:
1. Complete a 5K
2. Complete a 10K (after the 5K of course)
3. Study for and Pass my CCRN (Certified Critical Care Registered Nurse)
4. Make a budget and stick to it.
5. Take a vacation out of the country
This is all I have for now... I believe this is a good start though.
Isn't it amazing how a song can take you back, back to a memory... A moment in time that was either good or bad, but for some reason that song and in an instant it was stamped in your brain.
Delta Dawn by Tanya Tucker... One of the songs I would always put in my cassette player and sing for my mom & dad, and for my brother even though he hated to hear me sing. It also reminds me of my High School Spanish teacher. One time in class he started singing it.
Does anybody use Myspace anymore? I think it's mainly used for music nowadays. I got on there today for the first time in probably 4 months. I'm not really sure why I have an account. I wonder when the next new thing is going to come into play and facebook & twitter will be booted out?
Speaking of booted, has anyone heard that song "Toot it and Boot it"? It's got a catchy beat, and I'm pretty sure it's a song about a guy who takes girls home from clubs, sleeps with them, and kicks them out. I could be wrong though, for the longest time I thought it said, "That's what I do to them booties".
Not the most clear lyrics.
I don't know how many songs I sing that I assume they say one thing and I really don't care to look up the lyrics, and it's way off. I had a friend in college who thought on Alanis Morrissette's song "Ironic", when it says, "and who would of thought, it figures"... she thought it said, "and who would of thought, it's the earth." My other friend thought the song by Ke$ha started out saying, "Wake up in the morning lookin' like P. Diddy" when it's actually "Wake up in the morning feelin like P. Diddy". We teased her that she woke up one morning and yelled, "Aaah I'm a black man!".
Anyway, whether or not you like Ellen Degeneres, misheard lyrics always reminds me of one of her jokes from her show "Here & Now".
Skip ahead to about 2:39 and it's where she talks about it. So funny...
This little boy is a turkey, but he brightens my day everyday.
I love this little pup.
He is 16 weeks old. Hyper, but snuggly. I'm working on potty training him... which is a big feat considering I live on the second floor. He is a dachshund, not a miniature, but he was the runt.
He's had some problems with tracheitis and gastritis, but he's getting better and worth every cent I've had to spend at the vet.
Yes, I named him after one of my favorite TV shows: Dexter.
No, he's not a serial killer puppy.
No, he's not mean and he's not going to be.
One day I'll get him a brother or a sister, but not until I get a house with a backyard.
I adopted him from LowRider Dachshund Rescue. This lady and her husband take in dachshunds from puppy mills, off the street, and people who can't take care of them anymore. She has over 20 dogs and 10 puppies. Her house is super clean, the dogs are taken very good care of, and they have their vaccinations & spayed/neutered.
If you are in the market and want to give a dog a forever home, I would recommend this place 100%.
