Admittedly.....

I'm a half asser....

I grow tired of doing things. I start at one end of my kitchen counter with gusto, but by the time I get to the other end, I don't move things any longer, I just sorta clean around them.... I wash the clothes, then fold them, but most of the time they just sit in the basket until I need the darn thing, then I finally put them away... Oh and dusting... yeah...... I go as long as I can dusting around the nick nacks, and don't even ask about my blinds, luckily not too many people are in the house at the time when the sun hits them just right and you can see the layer of dust.... Don't get me wrong, my house is clean, just half ass clean....

Change....

I have a tendency to get bored with things and want to change them up.....

What about this new layout?

Don't be surprised if it changes... and changes... and changes again...

Hope....

My pastor said the following at the end of his service a few weeks back....

Hope does not come from a man in the white house, but from the man who hung on the cross....

We all need hope....

Contemplating....

Times are tough.... for everyone... I've been trying to figure out places I can cut back. I'm pretty darn close to cutting the cable for the tv off. We don't need it, we might miss it, but we don't need it. We're not a family of extravagance, so I don't have a list of things I can cut out to lower our monthly expenses.

But there is one thing I'm struggling with......

My gym membership.....

I signed up last June, they had a deal I couldn't pass up - $30.00 a month, no contract, my kids are free. I take a class 2 days a week, and two of my girlfriends are there most days - working out with others is always so much easier. I've also really come to enjoy having a choice to run inside or outside depending on the weather. I like my membership. I really like it.....

The question is, do I really need it? For years I would tell everyone I have the perfect gym in the outdoors, why do I need to pay to exercise?! But now that I have the perfect indoor gym that gives me a total body work out two days a week, why would I want to stop that? I don't like when my "things" have a hold on me, I should be stronger then that, but this is really holding on tight....
