every year, and i am talking every year for at least the last 8 years i have made a list of new years resolutions. i love the idea that change is on the horizon, that possibly this year could be the year that i am THAT person who actually stays true to at least one of their new years resolutions. but lets get serious there is a list of goals that i ALWAYS pick and i NEVER keep.
i ALWAYS plan to loose weight, which i never do, in fact i probably gain a little each year.
i ALWAYS plan to eat better......which i never do, just tonight i told chris i have an addiction to chocolate.
i ALWAYS plan to be a nicer, kinder person......which i never am. im nice, but im not that nice.
i ALWAYS plan to organize my house.... you know keep it cleaner and what not.
i ALWAYS plan to pick up a new hobbi or be really creative and exciting.......in turn i just start a lot of quilts and never finish them
SO, this year i am going to try something new. i have decided that i am going to make goals to NOT do things......yes, you are right i am using reverse psychology on myself... i am so clever.
okay here is my list
i am NOT going to gain anymore weight...........yes, you guessed it i will either remain the exact same size or get smaller. the odds are definetly on my side. since i had parks i havn't been able to really loose any of my baby fat, so i am getting quite nervous because i have a bunch of shirts i bought in anticipation of loosing weight... they will probably be out of style by the time i can wear them...chris will look at my clothes and say ' ive never seen you wear this, and this, and this'. what he doesn't know wont hurt him, but i dont see myself wearing them anytime soon. ha
i am NOT going to eat two different sweets in a night or a combination of sweet and salt... let me explain. for example i will not eat a bowl of ice cream and then eat cookies. and i will not eat chips and then chocolate. it is one or the other. since i gave birth to Parks all i want to do is eat sweets. before he was born i could have easily passed up any sweet, my vice was salty fatty foods, now it is both. cripes!
i am NOT going to be NOT nice....because my mother taught me better. whenever i would leave the house she would yell 'remember to be nice'!!! what mother yells that to a sweet daughter?
i am NOT going to have the MOST unorganized house . since everyone usually has the goal to be more organized on their new years list, this could actually be pretty hard. maybe i just wont go to anyones house. kidding.....i dont want to be that person who is a clean freak, but i do want my scissors to have a PLACE so i can actually find them.
i am NOT going to take this year for granted. i probably wont discover a really cool hidden talent, but i can work on the talents i already have...
my husband is amazing to me, my little boy means the world to me, they love me, i love them and because we are together and happy i know that i am going to have a great year.....even if i do NOT keep ONE of my new years resoultions.
well with that said good luck keeping your new years resolutions.......cause your gonna need it! ha
life doesnt get much sweeter....
parks always wrestles this monkey, it is hilarious!

Well I can help you out with your resolutions.
Come to my house, and your house will look soooo organized!
Don't worry about being nice, I'm not all that nice. It's working out for me.
Come sew with me, a new talent. We could make Britt come too.
Not sure what to say about the weight. Because of course I can tell you you look great. But as I well know, it don't matter what nobody says! I need to figure out how to get the weight thing happening too.
i think you're nice. i think you look good. and i never saw your house look worse than mine. as for new talents... hello- how about being a new mom. kinda trumps every other one out there! great post!
what a GREAT idea...I never thought NOT to do things..that just happens on there own but well put. I think that you are fab and if it is any consolation I silently look and you and hope you don't get any better cause I couldn't handle being around you if you were..ha ha (but seriously). You are great and I really do miss having you around! We'll have to get together right quick cause Parks is growing without us.
You are possibly the cutest person ever!!! I need to come and see you and that cute little boy of yours...I think that you are one of the most creative people that I know and you look fabulous! Let's be honest...we should all just hang out together (us mom's) and then the whole weight and organization thing wouldn't even be an issue cause it's something that we all need to work on. haha. Miss ya.
love that idea marisa! i agree about making goals and never keeping them, but the NOT side of things makes it seem so much easier to follow through on not doing things :) good work and good luck!
yes i love this idea too and I've never thought of it that way. And Parks is THE cutest oh my and he's getting so big..it seems like only yesterday I ran into you two at the mall and he was teeny tiny! i'm so glad you have a blog so I can see more pics of him!!
