Progress...?

Previously from January 2006 post.

In no specific order; my resolutions (written 1-06) for now...

  1. Learn HTML by DECEMBER - I lost my motivation on this one and could care less whether I learn it or not.
  2. Keep in FREQUENT contact with family and friends ie: a minimum of weekly w/ mom & sister and monthly or bi monthly with grandparents, dad, friends, & brother.- I've been doing well calling my mom, but haven't really called anyone else. I can't seem to find the time.
  3. Read the bible DAILY - OOPS! Was this really on my list? I guess I may have read it maybe 7 days so far. I just can't get into it for some reason.
  4. Improve my diet DAILY by: taking daily multi-vitamin, eating at least 2 meals per day, and one serving of fruit and vegetables. - Uhh, I take a vitamin about 3 x/week, eat 2 meals a day, plus many junk food sancks, and am lucky if I ever eat a fruit or vegetable, which I still need to work on. Although, I have been eating some vegies and fruits in the last few weeks.
  5. Complete our yard projects by APRIL- will definitely require a miracle!- Yay, the yard is functional, yet I still need to dig up a few dead plants and spread some rock.
  6. Learn how to proficiently utilize all functions on my new serger. - I think I know how to use it fairly well, but still don't know how to use the different presser feet or what they are even for?
  7. Go on a date at least ONE TIME PER MONTH- We just started doing this again in April or so.
  8. Have my house cleaned and in order by APRIL, when both of our families come to visit.- Only my parents came and I think it was clean? G's parents are coming for Thanksgiving and I am feeling optimistic about finishing our current projects.
  9. Refrain from contacting J and pondering over the past ONE DAY AT A TIME- I don't think I've contacted J at all this year (I would have to look back through my posts on this one). I do think about him a lot, but try to block out any thoughts.
  10. Live each day to the fullest with a positive attitude- Yes, I try to do this, but still struggle sometimes.
  11. Consider enrolling in a Master's program for SPRING 2007; preferably online or in the evenings- well, I missed the deadline for this year, but have looked into several programs. $450 a credit is insane! I just have to decide on the right one now.
  12. Begin exercising (yeah, a classic!) at least ONCE per WEEK starting when I get the chance (revision of resolution required to determine starting date).- I started in March (I think), but stopped after returning from my vacation in August. I really need to just get a gym membership, because my hopes to purchase a personal gym were dashed when we decided to turn our loft into a "game" room we will never use.
  13. Say "NO" when I don't have the time or energy- Yes, I am doing awesome on this one, except for my obligation to serve at church.
  14. Consult with another specialist regarding my health problems and persist until issues are resolved starting MAY-AUGUST.- This goal prompted me to review my progress, because I am estatic I finally have an appointmet with an OBGYN in October!!! The doctor I was previously referred to couldn't get me in until January 2007! This new doctor even specializes in surgeries, so I am hopefully optimistic I won't receive yet another referral. I also have an appointment with an allergist this month that I've been putting off for over 5 years! Now I just need to get into the dentist for a cleaning.

Written in the Stars

 I realize I can still feel you and after not remembering dreams for almost a decade and having none of you, yet I surprisingly remembered 3 in the past 3 months. I hated that you haunted me in my dreams a decade ago and feel I found a way to block the dreams. Now I welcome the visits since we are separated by space and time that feel lifetimes apart. I In one of my dreams you came to me with Amy Lee and I thought you were together. She sang me the song, "Broken". While on a solo journey of deep inner healing I met a man who deeply triggered me, yet I couldn't stay away. I followed my intuition and met him for a trip. Then during our synchronistic meeting he randomly started singing me the same song and playing it on his guitar while we were tripping together. On the huge screen he was playing a scene with shooting stars like we used to see together and the aurora borealis. My heart skipped a beat when I felt your energy through his song when we were all alone. I asked my

 Here I am 22 years after our last meeting feeling the distance between us. I finally realized why I can't seem to forget you no matter how many walls and blocks I built around my heart and mind. We are living two separate lives yet there is this indescribable energy that still remains even through the sound of silence.  After years of silence, I felt an overwhelming energy in which I felt I could explode. I resisted until I became so haunted I had to reach out. I simply sent you this song:  Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains within the sound of silence [Verse 2] In restless dreams, I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night and touched the sound of silence [Verse 3] And in

Craziest Year of My Life!!!!

Well, February 2010-February 2011 marks the most eventful period of my entire life. We started w/ a possible ovarian cancer diagnosis, G loosing his job the same week, me undergoing major surgery in March-no cancer, but no help for my chronic pain, G finding a new job in April, giving up on infertility treatments in July, adopting our precious son at the end of July, finding out I was 5 weeks pregnant when our son was 1 week old, finding out I was allergic to dairy, soy, wheat, and eggs the same week, a trip to Hawaii with our 3 week old in August, surgery for our 6 week old for Pyloric Stenosis in September, a bout with Pneumonia over Christmas, to G moving out of state in January for 11 months for his job. With all these changes, everything has worked out more perfectly than we ever could have imagined. We attribute our blessings to God and still trust he has a plan with the new changes to come. These few life changes take me to today. To say the least, I'm feeling a bit overwhe
