Have you ever had a New Year's Resolution that you kept?

Nope. I never have. Every year it is the same. Lose Weight, Save Money. Eat better. Stay in touch with family members. Last year was on that I KINDA kept. I resolved to use only craft items on hand, and not buy new ones until I had, unless of course, the craft absolutely called for it. I started a yarn bomb to use up all of the little left over balls that I had around (in the 60 gallon tote full to the brim with yarn). I didn’t succeed in making a yarn bomb yet (it is March 5th, 2014), but I did make a few things that turned out to be placemat type display deals. One is nice and my wife liked it sowe kept it, and it is on my alter. The other, I tried too many fancy stitches, so it ruffles, A LOT. It is more like a, well heck, I don't have anything to compare it to really. It is neat. It is colorful. It is rectangle, and right now.. I don't know where it is! Oh, there it is, it is on the back of my computer chair, under many other things that I have crocheted.

So, bottom line, No, I have never actually kept a New Year's Resolution. I see them as bad omens to start something serious anyway. This year my resolution was to lose weight by giving up soda… Ha! That did not even last the entire day of January 1!

I think that I will start a resolution today, a few of them actually. Here goes:
  1. Every day I will wake up (time does not matter)
  2. Every week day, I will got to work (unless I am on vacation or sick or it is a holiday)
  3. I will continue to listen to what I call good music
  4. I will work harder to enjoy school and realize that it is a process that might not always be enjoyable!

I am not going to add doing this daily blog to the list. Like I said, I never follow these things, making a new pattern is hard for me, and all of those things above, I already do! Ok, so I'm cheating!  LOL

Do you believe in reincarnation? That is a tough one, but very funny that it is 'assigned' on the anniversary of my first marriage... I think that there are different versions of things all through life, stages. So, there are different stages of relationships, the honeymoon, the comfort zone, and finally, using the toilet with the door open... For example. Why can't there be different phases or stages of life? I have heard one theory of reincarnation, being that you live this life to learnt, and in the next life, you learn what you didn't get in the last life. Once you have learned all you have to learn, then you go on, not sure where, but on. I have not answered the question: Yes, I believer in reincarnation. I would like to think that you kinda get to choose when you are ready to come back. Kind of like a Karmic employment office... What did you go to learn in the last life? And do you think that you did? Let's go to the film to see if you did... W

Once a scrounger, always a scrounger

Robert's last day of freshman year is next a Wednesday, that alone is crazy, but it made me remember something. The last day of my freshman year, I actually wanted to go to school. I said good bye to the teachers I liked, but after that, a friend of mine and I went through the halls, and came upon tons of lockers that people had not bothered to clean out... So there were binders and paper and more all over for the taking. I remember lots of loose leaf paper, and I took home as much as I could carry. Now, was that because I am, at heart, a scrounger? Or was it my love of school and office supplies? When I was in 6th grade, same thing, went to the last day, and came home with 'stuff'. However, this time it was supplies AND art projects people had not taken home, including GIANT dice. It was interesting getting those home, on the city bus and they didn't last long once I got them home. So, what does this say about me? I like unique objects and office supplies? Coul
