THE LIST

I've been thinking about things I need to start doing in the near and not so very near future...

1. Be more enviormentally sound - recycle more, walk more, be more aware of the world around me and what I am doing to it.

2. Stand up for myself - let people know when I don't really want to do something, or if I feel I am being walked over.

3. Learn Baby Sing-language - so I can teach it to my child so we can start communicating as early as possible.

4. Be expressive in my love everyday - Kiss Punk Boy every day, let him know I love him, value him and respect him on a daily basis. Let me friends know how much I cherish them as well

5. Wear more make-up - it's very vain but damn it, I fall out of love with the damn stuff sometimes and I like the way I look with it on.

6. Give up some control - Don't be afraid to let Punk Boy do the laundry. So what if a shirt I love gets thrown in the dryer and shrinks? It's a good excuse to go buy a new one.

7. Be constantly purging - get rid of things I don't need, remove people who bring me down. Purging is not a negative aspect of life, but part of one of the eight buddhist noble truths - right livelyhood. Do I need eight pairs of black pants? Three which I haven't worn in about six years? No - purge these things!

8. Eat Better - I get lazy regarding food because I hate cooking and I end up eating crap 50% of the time. I need to make a better effort, keep a better stocked fridge and make better choices. Soon these choices will be reflected in what my child eats.

9. Get in shape - after I pop out the sea-monkey baby, I want to start with the gym again, move around more and start to feel more healthy.

10. Breath. Meditate. Relax.
