Christmas:
I spent it with my Mom…
(I make her laugh…..either that or she was drunk. I’ll never tell.)
And my Dad…
(We both look like grumpsters but it was more like we were drunksters. Or..buzzsters.)
And my Brother and Sister in Law…
(We don’t like to touch each other.)
And….my favorite peeps in the entire world……
I mean SHUT UP with how lucky I am.
New Years:
I made no resolution and instead chose to focus on just one word.
Speaking of Behavior…you see that gorgeous and amazing picture up there of me and my niece and nephews?
Yeah about that.
I addressed the obvious brow FAIL I mentioned in my last post.
Better huh?
I actually LOVE how my face gets red because …well…I love how ridiculous it is. Cheap thrills y’all.
And that is all I have to say about my brows AND my thighs (my brain can go ahead and do whatever it wants I don’t care). Next up…a Haircut.
To Recap My Life in General?
Peanut Butter….
And glitter……..
Make EVERYTHING BETTER.
Peanut Butter fills the cracks in the soul
Glitter reflects a little light when we feel anxious and afraid
(Peanut Butter also fills in the thighs and glitter eases your anxiety about THAT, amen? Actually Peanut Butter helps me deal with my thighs too. #emoeating).
Awww, nice to hear about your Christmas! I am fine, just not ready for the return to work! Trying not to panic!!!! You never fail to make me smile!
My focus on life shall be-
Appreciate more!
Attitude of Gratitude.
It’s all over the Bible so that’s a good one!
Tea and chocolate x
That sounds like such a peaceful combo together. I wonder what all our two words say about us for REAL.
Poop and Eat. If I’m being honest. Plus saying food can mean many things. Yay for family time!
I am quite a big fan of both as well. (0:
You read about my resolutions and my life in two words is….coffeechocolatecookies (<- one word) and readingcoloringworking (<-one more word). See what I did there? Basically, those two words equate to indulge (not in a bad way, indulge being something to LOVE) and simplify.
Or some other deeper words that you can come up with, but I can't because my brain is too fuzzy from working. Needs me some more indulgences. GG episode stat!
Gah! Hate when I work on my class website all day and then forget to sign in with the real me. Crap.
I personally love it.
I remember when you gradumatated and I was like “Get a Vanity License Plate”.
Lots of C-words.
How bout cookiescraftscoffeechocolatecoloringbooks &otherstuff.
Ne blog title? LOL.
I LOL’d at “We do not touch” hahaha.
Peanut butter and glitter. Two very awesome things indeed!
Nice to know my weird humor comes across (0:
Love it! You looked lovely on Christmas.
My perpetual New Years’ resolution is very similar to yours– “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t be comfortable doing in the presence of someone else.”
This includes binging (obviously), restriction behavior, obsessive thinking, other ridiculous things…
So basically the same thing!
Two words?
Popcorn maker. (best xmas gift from the boy’s family, like, EVER.)
You and I need to join forces, then.
Seriously.
I got an pint size ice cream maker — I feel our glee.
you are behaving.. some days better than others. More wine cures all. in fact thats my word. wine and worryfree
Always behaving…always.
Not to get technical on you but that “thigh” you are obsessing over is actually a hamstring and they are SEXY!!!
Wow. Just WOW.
THANK YOU for giving me that word. Hamstring. It is really somehow helping me with the discomfort.
*lightbulb*
Love and books.
Coffee being a given….
oh, yeah… amen
Still debating my one word for 2013, will post when I figure it out.
You look lovely, with your sparkly Chrismas top! And shorts, my lord, shorts for Christmas….. #Envy. (+Whats the bitchin’ in the tags? What happened hon?)
Now I cannot WAIT for that post…you are so brilliant with words.
PS- Stop envying and come to FL next winter! LOL…after all your travels you’d be like…”meh”
PPS- There is some disturbed woman on the internet who has been harassing me for over a year on the web and she doesn’t KNOW me. She is a flat out BITCH and completely lost…anything redeemable she has inside her is NULL AND VOID unless she wakes up and that is just not me to think of another person that way but I guess now I finally found one. So that was a lesson I learned. Bitches really DO exist!
I do get the bitching in the tags (I think) and I totally agree :/
I’m glad you had a lovely Christmas – mine was too. Focussing outside of myself and onto the people who were precious to me is the number 1 reason why
It’s focus over resolution for me. Less failure chances, more concentrating on just going in the right direction!
One word for 2013… that’s a hard one. I’m a very wordy person :/ Maybe a good one for me would be “DO” because I can get the theory of the all important things right, I can endlessly talk about it, and I can FREAK OUT about various things – but it’s the DOing that’s important. And the DOing is where I consistently fall down.
Summing up my life? Endure – because that’s what I have done, forever, endure, keep enduring, just hang on tight and keep on putting one foot in front of the other.
And LOVE – being full of love – for Shalimar, for friends, for nature, for life, for GOD – keeps me going through everything.
It was hard for me to arrive at my one word too but God led me to it.
I lovelovelove the idea of you focusing on the word DO or some related word …. because it’s time we DO the work that will allow us the life we deserve – a life that is enjoyed and not endured.
Psalm 27:14
Romans 8:31-32
John 11:41-42
Jeremiah 1:5
and for when I’m feeling fiesty I must always remember:
1 Peter 5:8
HI!
Thanks so much for posting those…Psalm 27:14 <— I was thirsty for that one. Wow. I DO need to wait because I am finding myself doubting my gaith that God WILL remove my body discomfort.
And 1 Peter 5:8 as well….because as you can tell from above statement (and post) my mind is getting very loopy and frail and vulnerable.
No problem! We all need encouragement.
1 Peter 5:8 is always an “Oh yeah? Well, you’re not going to get me!” kind of challenge to me. Then I correct myself
believe, love. activate, do.
fact: bigger thighs correlates w/ longer life. fo real, my thighs aren’t big “enough.” but really, you do not have thighs.
That’s 4 pumpkin eater!
Can I borrow some of your activate and do?
Love your correlation. You always say the best things, girl.
Heh me comment in only 2 words? No way. And those words are not the life-recap, they are the goals. So I’ve yet to have much activation and do-ing to share. Except in the cleaning/organizing realm wooooo.
But I do need to share w/ someone that yesterday I ripped a seam in my work pants doing plie squats! It was funny. Its what I get for trying to get in a little activity the last few minutes before leaving for work. At least they were on the possible-goodwill list, so not a huge loss, and I might attempt fixing them…But funny stuff!
That’s just too perfect. So you.
The fact that you were doing Gillian Michaels and yoga while you work alone but the pants thing?
Trumps it. But suk. Your new work pants?
At least now you can have a legit excuse to wear your lulus all the days. (0:
I would like to request more thigh. I like it; it looks good.
Tina, you are hilarious and your comment made me feel great.
Plenty more thigh where that came from apparently.
Behave…that’s great boo. Makes me think of that phrase, “it’s in the doing.”
I happen to love your brows – and from one ruddy face to another, I feel you.
When you blog about your mom I LOL because it conjures up posts of yore! Specifically, the rubber toy (mouse? I can’t remember) that looked rather gen-tastic – the broom handle or whatever that you both saw out the window and that you placed on her chair at work bc she thought it was a vibe – I’ve had some great laughs thanks to you
xo
Yes…momsters.
I love that you remember that and that…well..you “get” me.
I personally adore you and your brows and so that comment ? *swoon*
