After an afternoon lunch date with my bestie turned into a night of "bar hopping" and drinking WAY too much (on a Monday? really Sarah?!), I am slowly recovering on the couch. I have been so sick today that I honestly almost went to the ER for an IV and some fluids. I know I know, the nurses would totally laugh and point if I really did that, but I'm not sure I have ever been this sick after a night of drinking. So, in the famous words of a hungover person, I am pledging to myself to cut this crap out. I am almost 27 years old, and its pretty much time to stop treating my body like dirt. Sure, I'm not opposed to a glass of wine with dinner or a Christmas morning mimosa..but I REALLY want to try and cut out the drinking for 2011. I'm not sharing this info so people will know how irresponsible I can be, but so I can be held accountable not only by myself, but by others. I personally don't think anyone can TRULY make a change without a little support from the people around them.
2010 was a year full of "reasons" to drink. (Depression, death, divorce, among other things that stirred up my world last year.)
However, it is a new year and I am convinced that 2011 will hold wonderful things for myself and my loved ones. Just like I told my mom on the phone yesterday, odd years have generally been the best years (at least for me). I met my amazing husband in 2007, got married in 2009, so 2011 is destined to go well :-) (And if you're thinking it, no baby...we'll save that for 2013!)
So with that said, here's a look into what I will try to accomplish in 2011... in no particular order...
1. cut the drinking down & out.
2. eating more organic, healthy food (YAY for an Earthfare being built in Hville!)
3. cook at home more often
4. continue to build my relationship with my mother in law
5. be more active in church, and possibly look into finding a new church family
6. adopt a puppy!
7. be nicer and more appreciative of my husband...he is a tremendous blessing in my life and he needs to know it, every single day.
8. go to the beach at least once a month from May to October
That's pretty much it for now..15 minutes til GH! :-)
