2011: The Year I Become a Seriously Fun Grown Up

Hi!  It's been awhile.  The holidays and George's birthday and all of that mess help to keep me distracted and not as on top of things as I would like!

So...a late Happy New Year to you!  I am going to make an attempt at explaining this post title...it probably won't make much sense to most, but I'm gonna try anyway!  ;)

I am one of those crazy people who does New Year's Resolutions.  I don't write them in stone...and I prefer to think of them as goals.  The new year is the perfect time for this.  You're changing over the calendar.  It's a new beginning...kind of like the feeling I get when I open a brand new note pad...but I also have a thing for office and school supplies, so *ahem*...where was I?  Oh, yes, new beginning.  I was looking at some basic things that I want to change about myself and I came to the conclusion that I am an adult where I should be more kid-like and more kid-like where I should be an adult.  I take parts of life waaaaay too seriously and I need to actively seek out areas here I can play and show my silly side.  At the same time, there re a lot of things that I let slide...like I'm a kid waiting for a parent to come take over.  2011 is the year where I find the balance between the two areas.  I played with different titles and Become a Grown Up and Learn How to Play came close...but Become a Fun Grown Up was closer...even though it wasn't quite right.  I like the Seriously Fun part because I think you can read it two different ways and that fits what I need it to do!

In other Resolutions:  Blog once a week (even if it is just silly stuff.), fewer meals out, a crafty-sewing type project once per month.  I think that's it!  I'll re-evaluate in April!
