This is my blog... I occasionally write on it and some family receive it in an email... so just so they know... this is my blog.
Anyway. My mother and I were watching Amanda tonight... we were on our way over to Aunt Joanie's house and Amanda stated that she liked the hair hanging from my rear view mirror, which I proceeded to tell her was a tassel that you get from college... she responded with "oh" like she knew what college was. Mom asked her what she wanted to study in college... Amanda is 3 but it is smart to start planning now. She asked her if she wanted to be a nurse or doctor.. Amanda then answered with a very excited tone saying "a GYPSY". Thats right friends Amanda is going to study to become a Gypsy. I thought it sounded like a good idea. I mean I went to school to be an opera singer which sounds equally as crazy to me... So who's to say that Amanda can't go to school to be a Gypsy.
Also... Grandpa Vern was talking about how on January 1st he is eating better and cutting out the sweets... I teased him about is cause really he could start now, but people like to start on the first day of the new year... but it did get me thinking about what I want to work on or change for the new year...
1. Work on being less bossy and honery. I have moments where I really think I am smarter than some or just know how to do things better and I can't help but tell them really how to do it better... I get teased about this personality flaw often... so I guess its time to change.
2. Talk less. I once had a boy compare me to the woman on Sense and Sensibility who is so chatty and never stops talking... so bad that no one can get a word in and her husband completly ignores her and just gives really snide one word answers to her questions... she claims she just can't believe something and she looks at her husband and repeats the phrase 3 times and her husband from behind the newspaper says "try"... really saying shut up. It kinda burned me at the time when the boy made this comparison... but he was kinda right... I talk too much.. so this needs work.
3. I will live life with a more optimistic outlook.... cheesy, but really... I think it would help my situation or station in life if I was a little more optimistic and learned to like what comes along.
Just some thoughts for the new year... wish me luck.
