New Year, Old me....

Hello all!!! My, oh my! It has been quite a while since I've blogged. I had all these plans to get my self blogging regularly. Obviously, they went completely out the window. lol I can;t promise that this year will be any better. Life is crazy and hectic. I'm trying to better myself. That takes even more of my precious little free time. Many things have changed since I have last blogged and even more have stayed the same. For starters, I've decided to take a couple months off of school and when I do return I will only be going half time instead of full time. I don't know how long I'll continue going half time. Maybe a just a semester or two. Another change... I've shaved my head! I had a mohawk but that was WAAAAAAAAAY too much of a pain to keep up. Here's a photo of my mohawk:

And this is me now:
Bald!!

So yea.... a goal of mine this year, is to not cut my hair at all. I want to grow it out so badly! But, I do love a good head shaving. Wish me luck on my hair growing endeavor. So for another major difference this year... We have a pup! Her is name is Asoka (My son named her for a Star Wars character) and we adopted her from the local animal shelter. She is a such a gentle love!!! We totally lucked out with her :)

Other than those I think things are pretty much the same :)

I do, however, wish to change that. I have made a list of things I want to accomplish this year. I haven't completely complied a craft related goal list yet. But here is my general list thus far:

1- Take a multi vitamin daily
2- Drink at least 8 cups of water/herbal tea daily
3- Exercise for at least 30 minutes 5 times a week
4- Stretch daily
5- Make more time for my spirituality
6- Read at least 6 new books
7- Journal at least 4 times a week
8- Meditate at least twice a week
9- Track my food intake
10- Make more time for myself
11- Learn to roller skate

I've gotten a pretty good start if I do say so myself. I know all of this wont be accomplished over night. I wont I start journaling or remembering to take my vitamins every day, right off the bat. I have been exercising regularly. I joined a roller derby exercise challenge to help me along the way. The challenge includes weekly lists of exercises and food recommendations. There is even a prize at the end of the challenge. the challenge started today. I am totally psyched!

Anywho I better be off :)

You seems to be going pretty good (so I worried for nothing...) you look good with a naked scalp :P AND those horns are gorgeous :D I need to put mine back in!

Hope everything you work your way through your resolution :) every goal you listed, I should do them too (exept the roller derby thing. I just can't do this here :( )

Aww I totally love your doggie. We adopted one from a shelter 5 years ago, and we took in another one 4 years ago from someone who couldn't keep him anymore. They are both amazing.
I will visit your etsy page tomorrow.
