New Year, New (?) Me

I decided that I want to be more organized. In my home of course, and in my life in general. You might ask, how will you go about this? How ever will you get started? Well, the most obvious answer is to start with your photo albums. That's right, in my quest to get organized, I pulled out all of our old photos and negatives, bought new albums with my Christmas gift cards, and generally am taking up the entire living room floor making it more cluttered than it was before! What is wrong with me? Why would I start with photo albums? You know, the things you pull out once, twice, maybe three times a year? Why not start with the 791 pairs of shoes that I have, don't wear, and can't close the closet because of? I have no idea. But, it is definitely just like me, so not really new at all. Oh well, I am trying. That counts for something, right? I hope so.

I also decided (for the umpteenth time) that I am going to lose weight and be in better shape. So, I do not plan for this to turn into a weight-loss blog, but I might mention it, cause that's part of what's going on with me. You've been warned.

School starts back next week, so I will try to post more regularly than I did at the end of last semester. My life seemed to get away from me there for about a month. Even when I wasn't working on school work, I still felt like I needed to be, so I couldn't really justify spending any time blogging. I have decided that I will graduate in August instead of May, and I am trying to make myself okay with that. I feel like I have failed somehow, but I just need to get over my pride. That's a big thing for me, I think. I will try to work on that this year as well. But I am NOT calling them resolutions, because I don't have enough strength to resolve to do anything. I am going to try my best, lean on Jesus, and know that I will end up better in the long run if I am at least trying to make changes in my life.

Okay, that's my update.
