resolution 4

all i have to say is notice today's date...needless to say i didn't exactly get around to making my resolution yesterday...sadly i'm not all that surprised...

i'd like to say that i didn't have time to get it done, but that would be a complete lie. lately i have come to the unwelcome realization that i make excuses for many acts of procrastination. true the internet was down at work all afternoon and that's usually when i take a break to write these, but what about last night after the decorations were put away and i sat down to watch 8 hours of Gilmore Girls? (definitely didn't intend to watch tv that long...) my point is that although i know i can't change overnight, i don't want to continue making excuses for my faults.

4. I resolve to stop making excuses for my procrastination and lack of motivation. If I should falter, which I obviously will, I will not allow myself to get dejected. Instead, every time that I make an excuse for not getting something done, I will put a dollar in a jar.

I'm not sure what I'm going to use the money for quite yet...possibly towards a trip to Mexico with TETM...the payment idea just popped into my head when I started to realize that there was no way in hell that I could keep this resolution completely, and I didn't want to word it vaguely and give myself an excuse not to improve... :)

Speaking of improvement...about halfway through writing this, I actually got off my butt and cleaned out our fridge, one of the many projects on my list. It's a start!
