Post Christmas Shame

So my three readers are probably on the edge of their seat as to what I did with my Christmas quandary. Well, I could go off and make this last for a while stringing you along with all kinds of stories and quotes citing strength and courage to stand against the social norm but I won't take that road.

I CAVED! With my husband's complete and active support I went and spent a shit load of money on a lot more gifts. He even got me to the mall! And Cherry Creek Mall at that. I know.. I know...I was weak. I had a wonderful Christmas and got a wonderful Christmas gift from my husband. Everyone got what they wanted and I got a piece of myself stored behind a locked door in my head, shouting out "You're just weak!"

With my conscience in tow I have spent the days after Christmas in a haze of happy memories and guilty feelings. I didn't over spend, I just didn't stay in the budget I allowed. I guess that's still something.  I have to write that to make myself feel better. As the New Year quickly approaches I have been re-evaluating my resolutions. I laugh to myself in writing this because I've always considered myself a strong willed woman but in this instance I have proven myself wrong. SO I have to work at my resolve.

I still intend to keep my balance resolution I am just shifting my focus from money to health. I will now balance my eating habits and my food intake to do what everyone in the free world is resolving to do: LOSE WEIGHT. Yes I said it.

I am going back on Isagenix. With my successful weight loss last time and the fact that I have actually kept it off even during the holiday season, I am a true believer in the product. I will attempt...yes no promises...to lose 30 pounds by July 2012. This will put me at my goal weight. I make no promises because if I lose more or a pound or two less I will not pigeon hold myself to a strict deadline. Perhaps I should but that is something I will re-evaluate as I go on.

Until next year...Have a Happy Happy New Year and my all your resolutions come true!

Inspiration and help

I have been writing my book and am getting to that point where I need a little inspiration. So I started watching Hauntings on the History channel and saw some unsettling points of view. I am a firm believer in ghosts and I am saddened and angered by those who do not believe. Not everyone HAS to believe what I think or what other people think about ghosts but have some respect for their opinion. Don't just call them crazy or say that they don't think they know what they saw. I was so disturbed I changed the channel and started watching Medium. So after a good solid hour I felt better and got the inspiration I needed. I started writing again. Then I realized what direction my writing went and had to laugh. Since its snowing out I knew I was going to need a lot more input to put my mind in the right frame of mind so I sought the help of my Wii. I spent an hour killing zombies in my Resident Evil game and started writing again. As a writer trying to become known this is the horr...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
