Lines - we need them for a reason.

So when did we learn how to line up? I mean do you remember the "skill" of standing in an orderly line and waiting your turn. I learned that in Kindergarten. Probably before that - at least the waiting your turn part. So why is it that folks think that they are not supposed to wait in line for the bus? Picture this... Rainy nasty weather outside - noone wants to be out. It is still dark and just a mess. I turn the corner to get to the bus stop and there is one person standing one the block but not in the place you would stand if you were a sane person waiting for the bus. She is standing at about where the middle of the line would be if there was a line but not close to the curb - she is standing back towards the building. I could understand the close to the building thing if there was shelter there but there isn't. So Missy is standing in a weird place and then moves to stand right behind me. Not behind me where normal people stand on a line but behind me - in back of me. WTH!! I, of course, turn around and glare really hard at her. A couple of people joined the nown line in traditional fashion and I begin to relax and not shake my head. Then all of a sudden another idiot waltzes up and stands at the head of the line like the six of us were not standing there. I was going to strangle Dopey but I resisted only because I had to get to work. So the bus comes and stops in front of me and I got on first which is what I really wanted to do - even though I was not first - I was first on the line - waiting for my turn properly which is what we all learned in Kindergarten.

New Year's Resolutions

So here we are in the new year and I am going to try to be much better with this blogging thing. I know I have not posted as often as I shoudl have and I will try to do better. I really have had a few good days so far and not much has gotten on my nerves yet but never fear I am sure something will.

I just thought of something. This whole New Year's thing - well really the holiday season - suddenly the same people who do not bother to speak to you all year round are cheerfully singing "Happy Holidays" and "Happy New Year" hmmmm. It is the same problem I have with Valentine's Day - do not make a big deal out of one day if for the rest of the year you suck!!

I will however make a few resolutions of my own. Oprah - Love Oprah - those who do not please keep it to yourself - Oprah has a live your best life series starting today and I plan on watching and following along. These are the topics:

Weight - I am working on getting the rest of this weight off. Slowly but surely. I am part of the greedy girls club but am really sick of the problems this excess has caused. So shed away.

Health - Have a new Holistic practitioner - She is amazing and is interested in the whole package and not farming me off to many different specialists. What a concept!

Spirituality - I love peace and clarity. Working hard to achieve both. I have great friends and family and intend to keep nuturing those relationships.

Money - I am feeling the pain of the economy just like everyone else. This is the second year with out a bonus and I am feeling it. I do however have a job I love and two businesses I love (Simmer, LLC. - relationship and sex coaching, and Just Ask Us Travel) as well so the money is coming in steadily. I intend to finish my sex coaching certificate and possibly begin my Master's in Human Sexuality this year.

Sex - none of your business but I am a sex coach. I have this area covered and people pay me to help them get their sex lives and relationships to be everything they want them to be.

SO in addtion to all of that here is what I can commit to...

1. I will blog once a week. Ok I will try to. It really is Neha's fault. She let's me vent before my computer boots up.

2. I will do 40 new things this year. For the Eskimos - who are the only ones who do not know when my birthday is - I will be 40 on January 28th. Tradition is that I commit to doing new things equal to my birthday years. I did it for my 35th and ooh the stories.

3. I will blog about my 40 new things -at least the ones I can publish. A girl has to have some secrets.

So that is all for now. I am so ready for this year and where it will take me. Are you?
