So I didn’t jump on the band wagon with the whole New Year’s Resolution to lose weight thing.  Way too stressful.  Let’s be realistic, I’ve got enough on my plate right now without having to worry about losing weight too.  But I did finally make a resolution of sorts.  It was actually more like an epiphany.  I decided this year, no more help.  Having a net there, my parents to bail me out if I can’t pay a bill, wasn’t actually helping me, it was making me dependent on them for stuff.  I’m almost 30 years old.  I need to be able to support myself and my kids.  So with that thought in mind, I had a new resolve to change a few things in my life.  I immediately started discussing possibilities of promotion with my boss.  I’m excited to report that things are looking good with that and there might be some huge things happening in the near future.  Something I’m terrified of, but again, I have to do whatever it takes.  It’s hard for me to go outside of my comfort zone.  It’s really scary to have to “start” over again, but I’m doing it for my kids and our well being.  So wish me luck on this new adventure we call life in 2008.

On a more artistic note, I’ve been playing around with the idea of redecorating (well, repurposing) my living room.  Everybody who knows me, knows that I can’t stay put for long artistically.  I’m constantly changing my surroundings.  Inspired by the show, Clean House, I’ve decided to have a yard sale in the early spring and clean house!  I’ve chosen my new style and it’s going to be part modern with a funky twist.   I actually created a collage canvas (it’s not yet completed) of part of my mantra that is the center inpiration for the pallete I intend to use.  Check out the sneek peek below! 

I hope everyone’s new year is full of wonderful things.  And of course I want to thank God for the blessing that I have in my life.
