Derailed Delusions

As I review my last year I can't think of a lot of things that I could say happened in my life besides a once in a lifetime trip to the Mediterranean and talking about that just makes people feel like I'm rubbing it in their faces. My job has stayed relatively the same, I have had the same calling in church since January and I haven't really been on any dates that I would be excited enough about brag about them (meaning I don't have a boyfriend or the prospect of one in the near future).

So, why choose now to start a blog? Well, my life/intellectual stability tends to either be boring or near the brink of crazy (hence the title of my blog), so what better way to track of that than to keep a blog? Ok, so a journal is probably a better way to write it out and keep it from bringing ridicule on me but let's face it I am one of those people that kind of enjoys being teased or at least using others as my sounding board so a blog is the best of both worlds: it allows me to write it out and let others offer their thoughts or be amused at my unconventional way of storytelling. That sentence ran on too long... I promise not to be too Hemmingway-stream-of-consciousness if I can help it, mostly because I hate that guy.

So I have a few goals that I didn't set last year that I decided I should have. I might as well put them online and make it official:
1 Go to the Gym regularly (at least twice a week).
2 Cut out candy and cut back on other snack foods.
3 No Soda Pop. Period.
4 Save money for a new car (enough for a down payment by Fall).
5 Save money for more traveling (I think I'm addicted).
6 Find more ways to be social and meet new people (not just guys, more friends in general)
7 The Number 7 is a Celestial number so I thought it would be a good one to end on, but really the last and probably most important goal is to get closer to God so that I know what he has in store for me when it's put before me.

I usually tell stories with the end at the beginning I never know how to end, so I'm not going to try and start that right now...
