New Year, New You

1/1/2015

It's 1 minute to 11 PM, I'm sick and fortunately tomorrow is Friday but we come into work for project Fridays.  We can't do much here, so we get the option to work overtime hours.  I do it because everyone does, but if I'm really sick, I may just recoop.

My new year's started at the pub and we had a great time, lots of laughs.  I ran into many people I knew but most importantly I had fun.  Then I went home to relax and finally got into bed by 2 AM. Got up at 8:30, did my mundane chores and then worked on some Zumba routines. I'm a perfectionist and I want to get it right...It's fun. I used to dream of choreographing dances so it can't be that hard. But for exercise it needs to be simple and repetitive so that people can follow..Nothing out of the blue!

Then I end the evening with bible study.  It's a quiet day for the most part and I'm enjoying my new quarters.  There is a saying that on compound we can be one of the following - a chunk, hunk, monk...   A hunk is someone who spends all their time at the gym.  A chunk is someone who spends all their time at the cafeteria.  Well a monk goes to their room and meditate :)  I'm a little bit of everything though I like my quiet time, it sometimes can get too quiet.  Thank goodness for Skype and iPhone messaging!

At the New Year's party there were some cool songs that I will probably add to my library.  I like Taylor's Swift, "Shake it Off."  In the video she really has those blue eyes and red lips and can pass for Nicole Kidman.  Now that I looked up on the web, she really has those full face so not quite but sh's got that "Nicole" look especially in the video where she is a ballerina and her hair is pulled out of her face.  Oh....to be doing something you love and get paid for it.


The Nicole Look


However in other images, she can pass for either Charlize Theron or Scarlett Johansson.  OK enough idoling.

So my New Year's resolution.  A new me....yes, definitely.  Every day are new experiences and I will never be the same person.  So for me it's one day at a time, one new change at time.  Maybe that change will work out, maybe not.  But it's worth trying...Finish that bottle of water, yes Bo likes to open bottles and leave about two in her trails.  Habit two, shop less and then I will own less. No more nonsense clutter taking up my life and finally, habit three.  Hmmm.."Let today's worries be sufficient for the day."  Actually habit # 3 is to wear slippers.  What?!  Yes why on earth do I own slippers and never wear them.  Simple yet it's another fact of life -- no one's lifestyle can and will ever be the same.

Happy New Year everyone!
