Picture perfect

Here it is, almost a full week into the "New Year" and I haven't come up with any "resolutions" yet. I keep getting asked, so I finally took the time to sit down and think about it.

Well the most popular resolutions, I already started doing 6 months ago, or have no need to. Losing weight, check. Saving money, check. Stop smoking, well I never began, so check. Drink less, well I feel that given my current plight, I probably don't drink enough, so check again!

So the ones I came up with were this:

Try to get more sleep. I only get on average, 25 hours of sleep a week.

Try to learn how to cook more. I know it seems kind of silly right now since I would really only be cooking for myself (since Charlies more of a hot dog/chicken nugget/pbj kind of kid) but someday I hope to be in a relationship again, and he would probably appreciate someone who could do more than make a sandwhich for him.

I need to see more movies. Whether it be going to the theater more, or renting more... I very rarely watch movies anymore these days. I feel so out of the loop.

Find a better job. Unfortunately much like the boyfriend search, the job search has just been fraught with rejection as well.

Spend more time with my friends.

Try not to worry or stress so much.

Become more devoted to learning the guitar.

Go to college.

Fall in love. Who cares if I fall out of it, or if it doesn't work out. I just want to experience love again, for the fun of it.

And finally... learn to love myself more... flaws and all. I'm working on that currently... I used to hate having pictures taken of me, because I could only ever see the negatives... I'm trying to take more pictures of myself, and have fun with it, knowing that I'm not perfect, but embracing my unique beauty nonetheless. 

So here is a picture I took... in the buff... both clothing and makeup wise... fresh from the shower... can't get more real than that!
