it begins!

i am a grade A procrastinator and a habitual half-ass-er. I'm full of ideas that never come to fruition. my roots are always grown out, my eyebrows are always grown in. i have piles of laundry everywhere that, even though 90% of it is clean, will never make it into drawers or onto hangers. i wash last night's dishes only to cook tonight's dinner on them and leave them to do the next day. i did dust mop the floor yesterday, but i never threw away the pile of fur/dirt/junk that i gathered up from it. i've spent more time reading home organizing and cleaning books than i have actually applied toward organizing and cleaning!

this year my resolution was to finally get off my butt and do it! to organize my home, to tackle the laundry, to stay on top of my personal maintenance, to lose that weight and become the healthy, put together, responsible woman that i have dreamed of being but never put the effort into actually becoming.

now here it is the end of February and i'm already 2 months late. i'm done making excuses for myself! i made this blog 2 years ago and now i am going to do something with it. i need to make over my life and i need some accountability. some motivation. i can't put a timeline to what i need to do, there may just be too much. so i will define my goals and objectives and go from there, never biting off more than i can chew but always aware of how much still needs to be done.

the areas of my life that i intend to improve on and keep track of in this blog:

• organizing my home
• cleaning my home
• decorating my home
• losing weight
• maintaining relationships
• budgeting my money
• training my dog
• learning to cook
