thirty-three

15 days ago i turned the ripe old age of 33. that means that jesus, rolling rock and myself all have something in common for the next 350 days. since my birthday happens to fall on new years eve, it's fitting that i try to make a couple of new year resolutions. typically they fall under the category of getting more physically fit or eating better, but let's face i still love spagettios and processed cheese. i'm destined to be a lard ass who is highly likely to die at an early age because of heart failure.

BUT on a more positive note, here are my new year resolutions. three in total as it seems fitting being thirty-three and all that jazz. i'll let you know this time next year how things turn out.

1. concentrate on family more. this includes being a better wife / mother / daughter / sister / sister in law / cousin / etc. this also includes spending more time with my immediate and extended family. i owe it to myself to learn / experience what i can while we're all still around. this possibly also includes a reconciliation with 2 of my 3 sisters (step & half).

2. de-clutter my life. this includes getting rid of things in my house that are just taking up space and serving no purpose. ie: clothing / accessories / books / kitchen crap / paperwork / hanging pictures & art currently stored under the bed, in the closet and in boxes, as well as forcing tim to go through all his junk piled in the corner of our bedroom / laundry room / hall closet and shed.

3. bring sexy back. i am 100% a jeans / t-shirt / converse kind of girl. i also have a side of me that is obsessed with dresses and fabulous high heels. i'm talking about 30+ pairs of 3+ inch heels in all shapes and colors. point is, i need to break out of my comfort zone and realize it's ok to wear heels to the grocery store / work / target / whatevs. it's also ok to take the time to put on make-up / blow dry / style my hair and not sit around in my pjs all day since i work from home, where i'm lucky if i've brushed my hair (or let's face it, teeth) before tim gets home. point is, you can still get dressed for the day even if you don't ever leave home and when i do leave home, i'm going to be rocking it hardcore. watch yourself 2009, i'm a MILF in progress.

15 days in and so far i've stuck to my guns for the most part, hoping that'll continue. xoxo. kat
