Back in the Saddle Again
Writing is hard sometimes. Life sneaks up on you and before you know it, it's been days, then weeks, then months since you last used your skills to soothe your soul while making others laugh. And sometimes you're just lazy as hell and don't really give a shit. Life and the occasional lazy streak have combined to make quite the gap in this fabulous blog. I apologize and now move on...
For those of you who read this blog for the weight loss stories, I have a great one for you!! Since starting the 50 Bandanas to Fit weight loss wonderment, I have lost 25 lbs. And have kept it off. That means I still have some excess baggage to drop. However, this fits perfectly in with the theme of my blog today...
Finishing What I Started
I was sitting in my office chair, looking out the window and pondering the meaning of the universe (not really, I was watching the geese fly over and wondering how their honkers don't seem to ever run out of honks) when it occurred to me to look around my office/studio space. Scattered across my desk, the work table, and my drafting table were the skeletons of several 1/2 finished masterpieces. Wondrous creations that I worked on like I was hell-bent for Sunday, but I stopped short on Saturday when something sparkly or shiny or a squirrel happened by. Such is life with ADHD.
However, it really pissed me off. Why can't I finish stuff? I started off with a full head of steam in the weight loss department, then I fell off the face of the earth. This blog was started with the best of intentions, but I disappeared. What good is it to have a brain full of ideas if I don't finish them?
Thus, I am beginning The Year of Finishing Dangerously. Why "dangerously" you might ask? Because just imagine what a force I will be to reckon with if start finishing the shit I started. I could be dangerous!! I could be a freaking master mind!! Yeah!! Yeah!! I could wear a cape and have a super-hero name...oops. Sorry about that. Just a little ADHD sidetrack sample for you.
Seriously though, my goal is to finish one project each week, and everything I start this year while working toward my weight loss and fitness goals. It is a lofty ambition. If I can do it, I'm going to feel like the freaking QUEEN OF THE WORLD. AND DAMNIT, I WILL DESERVE A CAPE AT THAT POINT. And and invisible plane-because that's just cool. :)
The other part of my goal is to make sure this blog stays alive, and well and keeps you all laughing. Because no matter what my goals and dreams may be, or how they may shift over time, one thing has always remained true in my life. Weird and funny shit happens to me. All of you may as well benefit from the healthy laughter-even if it's at my expense. I'll be laughing too.
