Almost 100

You would think after nearly 100 posts (this will make 95!) I would get the hang of posting regularly. Funny, before I "had" to buy a car, my next big planned purchase was going to be a laptop. I find myself thinking, "I would post more if I had a laptop." Of course, that's as silly as thinking, "I'd workout more if I had a gym membership", "I'd save more money if I had more money", "I'd cook more if I didn't have to work so much." Speaking from personal experience, circumstances will not change me (to a certain point). If I had the habit of working out, I'd do it no matter if I had a gym membership or not, if I saved 10% of my income it wouldn't matter if I made 30k a year or 300k, and if I cooked (ok, ya'll can stop laughing now!) it would take place no matter how much I worked -- I've heard that's why the crock pot was invented! ;) ha ha

Pretty much, this is a blog apology. If you read my posts regularly (and see how seldom they change) then you know (without me saying) that I let all the little things build up and then I'm tied down forever trying to dig myself out. One would think, with all the times this has happened to me, I'd learn from my experiences and not let them happen again. How does that saying go? "Old habits are hard to break!" I am living proof of that. I feel like my daily life is one big bad habit I have to break! Motivation with me is only brain deep. I always "dream" of being organized, disciplined, and put together, but as soon as I begin to try to change, my lazy bones take over and *poof* the dreams are gone for yet another week, and then I beat myself up and start the whole routine over again. If I ever conquered my fleshly desires to be a bum (which I'm not really -- I am very busy, but relatively speaking) I think I'd go into shock and have to be rushed to the E.R. and then the Dr. would probably tell me I needed to take it easy and rest! ha ha Sorry, I'm just playing this whole scene out in my head and it's tickling my funny bone.

Here's to the "Dream" of more posts!

If it's any consolation (though it probably won't be), Nathan is EXACTLY the same way as you. In fact, while I was reading that last part (from "Motivation is only brain deep..." and on), it made me laugh, because it sounds like conversations I have with your brother, LOL!

So, you're not alone in your dreams of being/doing more! I tend to plan a lot of things, but am not always so great with the carrying out of things. I am getting a lot better, though -- I have Caleb to thank for that! Our house would be an utter disaster area (because of having to take care of him I can get behind in my housework), but I am learning to do things here and there rather than trying to do everything at once! That's my advice to you (and something I tell Nathan, too, lol) -- baby steps. If you take on too much, you get burnt out, and you can't handle the change. Just start with one thing at a time. It works for me :)
