1. And most IMPORTANT…. To be completely selfish… I know you all are saying “Now how would that be any different from the usual”. But seriously, it is all about me. I will do what I want, spend my time where and with who I want. If I want something bad enough I’m going to go after it until it’s mine. Case in point… I hounded my project manager so much that he finally gave up and asked me if my passport was ready because we are en route to Valencia, Spain in one week. How fucking awesome is that? I will be in a charrette for a new urban live/work community in the third largest city in Spain.
2. Maintain… this one I stole from Lauren. The deal with this one is that I will attempt to maintain a happy, healthy lifestyle and not allow myself to clutter and become messy. This means all aspects of my life, from laundry to personal hygiene… because if I feel better about myself it will show to others.
3. Be Healthy… this means that I will ride more… Regina got dropped off yesterday… I am hoping to be able to show our 5 year old gelding Ty in the summer. I will also continue my belly dancing classes, because why the hell not.
4. Minimize… this means get rid off the massive amount of shit I have collected over time that I don’t really need/use/care about. Aka things like trashy novels I’ve already read or tacky going out tops that I will never fit into/wear again.
5. Be safe… this means no more speeding tickets. I already spent one evening in the municipal court of Decatur. I was able to get out of extra points on my insurance, although I had to listen to a man in shackles explain that he had been coming out of a nice little establishment called “Pin-Ups” with a pocket full of money and after relieving himself on the street he was unnecessarily “shanked” by five police cruisers and although the ounce bag of marijuana was his the articles of meth found must have been left there by the previous owner of the rental car.
