Halfway there

Since today is the July 1st, we are officially into the last 6 months of the year. 2010 has gone freakishly fast so far! I thought that today would be a good day to check how I'm doing on this year's Resolutions that I made on January 1st, and just to recap, here is what I resolved:

1.  As always, eat less, move more. Well, this resolution was going brilliantly. I'm sure you all know about my love of jogging by now but I haven't been at all since I've come home from London. Naughty me. My diet was horrendous last month. From the start of June until the end of June I ate nothing but rubbish, but I'm starting afresh today. So, I'm giving myself a 5/10 for this one - good attempt so far but must try harder.

2.  Stop biting my nails. I'm still biting my nails. Oops. I haven't even attempted this one to be honest. 0/10 for me!

3.  Break out of my neutrals rut. I still adore my neutrals but I'm definitely being braver in my make up choices.Also, I set myself little challenges, like my purple week, to encourage me to dig around my stash more. I'm quite pleased with how I'm getting on with this one, so a 6/10.

4.  Remove my make-up every single night. I remove my make up 95% of the time. If I don't it's because I'm too exhausted or something, but more often than not it's removed before I fall asleep. 9/10!

5.  Drink less Diet Coke and more water. This resolution started fantastically, then went a bit wrong around April, but I've been back on track since we've had this warmer weather. I've been drinking water by the bucketload lately and the cravings for Diet Coke have passed. I will treat myself now and again but I will limit myself to maybe one or two cans a week. 7/10 for moi.

So my resolutions have been a bit up and down, but many of them are lifestyle changes that I never expected to happen overnight. As long as progress is being made along the way I'm happy - though I must start resolution number 2 ASAP! How are you getting on with your resolutions? Did you give up after a week or have you been more commited this year?

Day of Silence

Today I'm doing a day of silence (no blog post) to support a family who recently lost their baby boy to heart problems. I can't even begin to imagine their pain as they bury him today.

Lazy Memoirs

I thought I’d get an early start on this blog.

Since it’s July now I should set some goals for the month. Let’s see…how about I write some “lazy memoirs”? A lazy memoir is a memoir I tried to write, but didn’t quite get finished or the story doesn’t really have a proper ending. It will be like that skit from SNL with Jack Handey. The Fuzzy Memories ones.

I want to finish up the blogs I’ve been gathering material for. I’ve been working on more sticker blogs.I should crack that book I got from my memoir class, and read at least some of it. (stories I didn‘t write) 0;)

Here is something strange those annoying career people called me 6 times yesterday! Their calling pattern is really strange. They called at 9:50 AM, 10:42 AM, 2:13 PM, 2:16 PM, 2:40PM, and 4:56 PM. Today they cut their calls to me in half and only called 3 times. Again the calling pattern was strange. They called at 10:21 AM, 10:52 AM and 6:32 PM. Why call in clusters? :/

Good news! I got a good grade in my sales class. I thought I’d get a C or something, but not a D or F. (It‘s higher than a C). I wonder what my grade is from the memoir class? Maybe it will be like Maeby Funke's report card it makes me feel like a jack in the box.
