My End of The Year Resolution...

So, it's already November...how crazy is that? It feels as if it should be June! Well, to end the year, I have decided to make a list of things I should do BEFORE January 1. Let's start, shall we?

1) Get extraordinary (yet inexpensive) gifts for the people I care about this Christmas. I may go to Claire's or Victoria's Secret for my girl-friends, and of course TRACTOR SUPPLY (haha!) for the guys in my life. Just get them tools, it'll be all cool :) Can't say for my parents though, because I never know if they check up on here or not.
2) Clean my room!! This request has been unfufilled for about 19 years. I want my room clean, but so much goes on it's just too easy to throw the school books aside onto my dresser.
3) Get decorative pillows! I've been wanting pretty decorative pillows for awhile now, but I'm just so picky! There's so many of them, but I almost refuse to choose because there's so many pretty ones. By the way, isn't Pier 1 Imports just a riot?? I almost hyperventilate watching the commercials!! I love that place :)
4) Become a better blogger. For me, this is sorta-kinda hard to do because of school, but blogging makes me happy, so why shouldn't I practice my blogging skills? Blog blog blog...
5) Dress the way I want to!! I really have many unique and different things in my closet, but I have a phobia of coming out of my comfort zone. I usually wear jeans and a comfortable (BUT it's cute, I swear) shirt. I hardly wear scarves or my UGGS because for some reason, I just prefer to be simple. Yet then again, I don't! >.< Grr!
6) Help a loved one come over stress and illness. Actually, this is my first priority resolution, but this list is not in order of priority. I want to be able to make this special person feel happy again. Enough where they can do what they want and not let depression/stress get in the way. I want to start cooking with them, and get them out of the house.
7) Become happier and healthy. I have been depressed too, and sometimes I need a self-pick-me-up. I need to learn how to do this on my own instead of just staying droopy all the time. Eating right and taking advantage of positive situations would help! Thank goodness Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up! My favorite time of year!

Those are some resolutions to accomplish by the end of December, and by then, I will have all new resolutions. What are your end-of-the-year resolutions? It's NEVER too late to have resolutions!!

Another day of the year 2010!

Well, Troy and I just got back from seeing the new Disney movie "The Princess and The Frog". It was very sweet and cute, and we just loved it! I also love the message it potrays. Has anybody seen the movie yet? What did you think of it?

What I got out of it was that instead of pushing people aside (or being selfish) to get to your dreams and to money, always have love in your heart, and you WILL get to that very same dream. Having love in your life and the care for other people will be much more rewarding than taking the dream all to yourself. I really do believe that this is what this world needs; love. I may sound like a hippy, but behind all the drugs and the promiscuity of the 60's, I loved what the hippies were wanting to do. I hear everyday about how people shoot each other for wealth, and who brag about the brand new expensive car that they bought instead of using that money for better and much more rewarding things. I hear everyday about people who prostitute women for money. I hear everyday about people who take the charitable money all for themselves, instead of using it for good. Like my mom said, "In time those who commit dishonesty will be the ones who pay for their bad fortune. You will be rewarded for your honesty and your love". She did not say those exact words, but that is what she means. People do things for desperation, and I understand that, but when you are in a panic and you feel like there is nothing left, just stop and think. Just stop and pray. It does work, and I also understand that many people do not feel this way. I respect that. I'm not going to preach, because I am against preaching to other people about things like that. I know people do not believe in the same as I do, and I am not going to force them to do so. I'm only giving advice that may help. But also, use your own strategies! Whether it may be praying or helping other people, or even meditating. Just take a break and think to yourself about what is good and what you can do to make this world a better place for others. It has gotten to the point where scandalous and mischevious activity is going on all around us, and it depresses us. You can change that. I can too.

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, and I am open to opinions. Please do not be too harsh.
