You're On My Mind... Now Get OUT!

Here it is, February something... 10th? 11th? Wow, I don't even know what day it is! HA!

I am so overwhelmed with life right now. And it's not a bad thing! Aside from the ever pressing finances, things are pretty great. I'm enjoying life. I'm enjoying being a Beachbody Coach and helping people get healthy and fit. I'm enjoying church and fellowship. I'm enjoying not being under someone's thumb. I am enjoying having lunch with Brady at school. I'm enjoying having my own schedule. I am thankful for all of these things. Truly thankful.

But, in order to make sure that I stay out from under the Man's thumb, I have to make my own way in this crazy world of business, marketing, social media, etc., etc. So much! And, at the same time, I have to take care of my OWN health & fitness! I, still, presently suck at sticking to my exercise regime. It isn't overwhelming, at all. I just have to MAKE myself do it. It's often a struggle. Daily. Eating right isn't as hard for me as moving right. ;)  But, I will PREVAIL! I will SURVIVE! Sing it with me! LOL.

But, all in all, I wouldn't have it any other way. Things are progressing as they should, I believe.

In an effort to succeed in business I will be blogging more. Here at Blissful Blunders, and HERE.

I will be posting more health & fitness related material here, as well as my daily ins and outs.  I am going to be DISCIPLINED about it. So help me GOD.  I think it will help me focus and free up some space in the ol noggin'. It is seriously cluttered up there and I can't focus or make sense of anything. I need to get it out. And since typing is faster than writing, blogging it is! 

I also need to start SCHEDULING EVERYTHING. And I need to learn to stick to that schedule. Time management is a foreign country to me. I need to visit it more often. It's the only way I will be successful in this life, and I plan to be successful. I AM SUCCESSFUL.

So stick around. Grab a cuppa. Get comfy. I'm back. :)

See you tomorrow. <3

Oh. And does anyone know of anyone who would be willing to donate their services to make a blog button for me???? Hmm??  *bats eyelashes* Pretty please??

Better Late Than Never!

Better Late Than Never!! My favorite saying. Cause you know, I am the Queen of Procrastination!

I am finally getting all of my Christmas décor put away. It’s been a lengthy process, because I just hate taking it all down! It makes me so sad! It’s so dark and dreary.

It makes me want to change things up for the New Year. I know, I say that every year.

And thanks to my new-found friend, Become.com, I have found some fabulous ideas for next year! One of them is putting garland hangers over the door and putting some of my fab garlands on them!  Who knew they had such a thing has a garland door hanger????  Why am I just now hearing about these??

Apparently, Become.com is where it’s at. They have everything from garland door hangers to universal transformer model ub16401 parts, you know, just in case you need to replace your current universal transformer model part. :) 

So, maybe by the end of the weekend, I'll have ALL of my Christmas pretties put away. Or, maybe not.  

Trying to Find a Creative Outlet in Writing

Guest post written by Stefanie Rickman

I think that after I read every book I close it and think that I wish I could write a book. You hear stories all the time of these people that finally write a book after doing something else besides writing professionally all their lives. Well I would love to be one of those people, so I'm just going for it.
When I was online looking up some tips for creative writing, I ran across some stuff about a debt counseling site and looked through it some. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to use them to help settle my debt, which is something else that I've decided to really address in 2012.
I guess that you could say my creative writing goal is my fun goal for the year. Maybe even going through the debt settlement process will help inspire me to writing some great things. You've got to start somewhere. For my creative writing, I'm going to concentrate on writing some short stories first before I tackle something as big as a novel.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all have gotten your New Year off to a good start!

There aren't an awful lot of changes to report.

We had a great Christmas and a safe and munchie filled New Year. Brady and I partied like it was 1999 and ate all sorts of crap. It was fun. But now, it's time to get serious.

Over the last few months, I have gotten back up to my all time high. NO GOOD. Sooo, it's time to do this year right and get to my all time low --which has yet to be reached!

I am doing ChaLEAN Extreme...again. I started it back sometime in November. I got through about the first week and a half or so and then petered out. I'm not allowing that to happen again. I am going to FINISH this program. I am GOING to get results. I am. I am. I am!

My brother is still living on his own. He is still going to school. Has a 4.0 and finally got a job that he will start on the 30th.

I, on the other hand, don't have a job-job, but I am still cleaning houses and still trying to get my Beachbody business of the ground. This is also my year to put that into high gear, too.  The only thing standing in my way, is me.

So, my focus for this year is my health & fitness. Once I get that in check, a lot of other things will fall into place.

I want to start blogging more. I'm not going to say that I'm going to try to come around here more. I'm just going to go with the flow. If I think about it too much, put too much pressure on it... it won't happen. So, we'll just take it day by day. I do need to lighten the place up a bit. It hurts me to read the white on the black. :/ Sorry guys. o.O

But anywho. Kiddo goes back to school tomorrow, so I need to get offa here and get some other things done before bed time. Early to rise after two weeks of not, is gonna suck!!

Reach for the stars people!! GO FOR IT! 

Things Are Looking Up-ish

Not going to spend a lot of time posting. Just sharing a few key points and then going to bed. :) Still doing Beachbody. Have a couple of customers...no coaches... but I will. I have huge goals! Brother finally moved out and took his cats with him. PRAISE THE LORD. Have LOTS to do to get that room livable again. o.O Still no actual job to speak of. Haven't done P90X in weeks. SO time consuming at over an hour per workout. Getting organized and prioritized. Opened an Etsy shop. *squee* See sidebar -----> Only have a few things listed to date, but have more to put up. Just a matter of photographing and listing. I need to get this room done while the weather is dry and good. :) Got back on the meds, no matter what it takes. I'm better. :) o.O Received two weeks worth of child support on Tuesday. Praying it's not a fluke. So, all in all, things are looking up. The air in here is lighter and more positive once again. God love my brother, but he is a major source of negative energy. I can't handle it. He's much happier in his own space, too, of course. I plan on continuing this positive upturn. I plan on achieving my goals. I plan on being in a very different place this time next year. It's going to be so amazing. Nothing like I have ever experienced. I can't wait. <3
