Birthday Resolutions

I am well aware of the fact that most people make resolutions for New Year's and in the past, I have been one of those people.  Yes, Internets, I have been that person who resolves at the start of the year to go to the gym and then for the next two weeks takes that treadmill you use everyday.  But my resolutions are lucky if they make it two weeks!  This year I kind of tweaked my resolution and said that I was going to go to the gym more often.  And yes, I know twice a year is an improvement over NEVER.  So far, B and I have done fairly well with the whole getting healthy thing.  He's much better at it than I am though.  The thought of leaving work at 3:00 and then running on the treadmill for an hour makes my stomach turn. 

Because I've done SO well with my New Year's resolutions, I've decided to make some birthday resolutions!  I am going to be twenty-eight in eighteen days.*  This is a little bit scary for me for a plethora of reasons, some of which I hate to admit. My mom was 28 when I was born.  I am the third child.  Lana was born when mom was 21, Raymond when she was 24.  Don't get me wrong, I was NOT in the right place to have a baby when I was 21 or 24 but it just seems like she had achieved so much more than me by this age. Besides, 28 is almost 30!  Numbers don't usually bother me, but for some reason the thought of being 30 is scary. Maybe I'll feel differently about that when I get to 30, but it looks scary now. And realizing that turning 28 means that I have been out of high school for 10 years makes that whole close to 30 thing even worse.  I remember when I still had 10 years to go in school! 
... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.  :sigh:

SO here are my goals/resolutions for the next year (or so)

1. I am going to read more intellectual books and fewer just-for-fun books.  I love my science fiction/fantasy books, but it's time to be a grown up :)
2. I am going to keep my house/room at school more organized **
3. I am not going to let the things people say to/about me get me down.  I am far to sensitive and I let people get to me way too easily.

I think three goals are enough for now, right?


*Yeah, I started this post on the 8th, and finished it on the 28th.  AFTER I turned 28.  Deal with it.
**Totally failing out on this one already!

Happy Valentine's Day!

In the midst of wanting to bitch-slap certain people, I'm trying to take a little time out of my day to kick someone's ass be thankful for all the wonderful people in my life. :)

(Here's where it gets sappy...) Be good to yourselves and the people around you (unless they outright insult you, in that case it's okay to slap a bitch)!  Have a great lovey day! <3

I just thought you should know, I am in mega-bitch mood today.  I need it to be the weekend and I need certain people TO GO AWAY!


What do you do when everyone is either pissing you off or making you cry?
