20 Minute Blog

FACE LIFT!

I've given my blog a new name with a new aim for 2011. Last year I resolutioned (yeah, I made up a word, I know) that I would blog once a week. Never happened. as with all resolutions it went the way of the Dodo. I'm not deluded into thinking I was too busy. This is evidenced by the 3 hours I spent on my ass on the chair with the laptop on my lap mucking about and watching "TV" most evenings. As I mentioned in yesterdays post one of my New Years Resolutions - NYR's is to write more. Part of that is to try and keep my fingers and mind nimble, but mostly it's because I know I spend time with myself then. 20 minutes is just a really manageable chunk of time. I'm not sure what will come out of 20 minutes of writing. I hope good things. Baby steps to move me towards living the potential of my life. Not being afraid. Being responsible. Facing why I am here and how I turn things around.

***I would like to note here that I think I have a wonderful life. I just know there is so much more I could be doing.***

So today I did battle with the grocery store. Wicked place to be sometimes. I went hungry which was dumb, but I didn't do stupid. Didn't cave to the candy bar at the check out. That is a small victory. Woot!

Also, my dear friend Shelley gave me this amazing recipe book called "Love Soup" And I made two recipes from it today. A black bean soup that was amazing, and corn bread. Yummy. Thanks Shel. I think I'm gonna try a recipe a week. I am hoping to duplicate this mushroom soup I had at the pub down the street from my office. Dreams were built on this mushroom soup.

Mmmmm Soup!

Night all.

  2. Me! I'm always reading it. i don't check it frequently but I have my email set up to notify me when you post. That way I never miss one.

    I will get off my ass and write letters with you. I've got tons of fun paper and ink and pens that I really need an excuse to play with. I'm home sick today, so maybe I'll catch up on chores and writing. :)
