Here’s to the Crazy Ones…

Crazy Ones

Nostalgia

I’ve just found myself reading through old emails.

Particularly ones between myself and a guy I knew at school/sixth form.  That isn’t the right thing to say, he was my friend, and at one point I would have referred to him as my best friend.  I think we are still friends, in that we still email, he is on my facebook friends list, I email his wife.  I’d like to think we are still friends, but following on from my post a few weeks ago I don’t want to take that for granted. So how do I find out? Do I ask him outright? Do I just leave it and assume we are? Do I send him a link to this blog and hope he answers the question himself?

I like that idea…

In the beginning…

So, here it is 2009.

I never really got the whole New Year thing before, it always just seemed an anti climax to Christmas, but this year I feel ready to attack the year with verve and vigour.  I’m not sure what verve and vigour are, but they seem exciting words to use at this point!

For all the crappy metaphors I could use, I guess embarking on a journey is a good one.  I’m ready to embrace who I am this year and really go for it.  So hopefully, through the medium of this little blog, I shall watch myself grow, and change and who knows, maybe 2009 will be a generally good year for me!

Slow and steady wins the race.

I’m starting off this new blog already in bad habits! I’ve barely written anything as yet, I’m quite rubbish it would seem.

But blogging and having a home is so important to me, so I must keep on with it.  I’m loving the new wordpress update, in fact, no offence to the lovely D and his blog platform, but I am truly enjoying wordpress itself.

I have around 10 days off over the Christmas holiday, and so will do my best to post regularly then.  Try to form a habit for the coming year.  2009 is going to be interesting, I kinda have a lot of things I want to try and change… I need to think positively about them, but among many these include:

*Lose weight

*Drink more water

*Sort my finances

*Blog more

Those all feel really massive, but equally important to me.  The weight loss thing is pretty much a given – I may have signed up to be in my local paper as their weight loss/lifestyle change challenger.  I was so excited to do it, I didn’t really think about the ramifacations.  Now I’m thinking about them.  A lot.

As for the finances – I need to try hard to get into the habit of writing my list of things I will do to either make extra money, save money etc.  I have a fe challenges in mind gleaned from the MSE board that I read.  Maybe I’ll see if people want to join me.  I’ve also joined Bossy’s Daily Poverty Party where a bunch of like minded people will share ideas and thoughts about money saving/making and getting out of debt.
