Gets me every time...

H&M...
clever. clever H&M...
They think they can send me a catalog with a 25% off code on the front and ill just start buying stuff. Like I don't have bills to pay... Don't have to put gas in my car... or get things for my house I've been needing to get, instead of clothes...

It totally worked...
Not only did I go through the catalog and dog-ear pages of things I wanted, I also went to their website. 'Just to see what was on sale'  ...yeah right...

So now I'm making this ridiculous shopping cart full of things that I would like to use the 25% off for, because let's face it. H&M is amazing.

 Like this jacket, that kind of reminds me of the military jacket Clara Oswald wears in the "Cold War" episode of Doctor Who. And I really, really like everything she wears.

Or this super comfy looking sweater, because its winter for 6 months out of the year here and you can never have too many sweaters in weather like this.

Or this leather belt. Because I lost my good one. (And the other one may or may not be holding up the front of my car - another thing I could use this money for instead...)

This necklace - because I have always really liked layered necklaces, and when they are all on one clasp it really helps a lot.

Or what about some $10 jeans. Because - seriously, they are $10. And I'm down to one pair...


Yea... We'll see about this...

One Picture a Day

So things didn't start off too well... not posting after the first "I'm going to do this!" post. 

But something happened this last week.

Chase and I were down to one car, and luckily my jobs (all three of them) are within walking distance of my house and the weather has been understanding enough to not be too windy on my walks to work. 

I didn't mind walking. I put in my headphones and could get a whole two songs in before I got to work. And I had an idea, (which I'm also working at remembering to do). I know its done a lot but there must be something to it then right?

I made an instagram, thought that could make it a little easier, and I'm going to try to take a picture every day. 

I'm not really one of those people that go off on vacations over seas or do things every day that result in really amazing blog posts. But, I figure with the jobs I have, the friends I have, the things Chase and I make or do when we get bored of watching Netflix, I should be able to at least take one picture a day. And on top of that, work on other posts for the blog. 

The picture above was my first attempt, plus how can you possibly pass up adorable little squirrel footprints in the snow without freaking out a little. Seeing little paw prints or even little bird footprints in the snow gets me every time. It will never get old to me. 

Even if, i was stuck in one spot for the rest of my life that was completely covered in snow, nothing else. and there were constantly the footprints/paw prints of animals all around me (even if i never saw any of the animals). I would obsess over each and every one of them. - That would be a completely miserable situation. I really don't like being in the snow, or the winter. So I would hate being there. But, if there were little footprints everywhere, I think I could stand it a little bit longer...

- ok... now that I sound kind of crazy....

new year, same problem.

Im not one for new years resolutions, never really have been but this could be why....

I have this problem, where if I tell anyone something I plan on doing - like a long term goal, then for some reason, without realizing it, I won't do it anymore. Even if I have already started, I'm doing good, then I spill the beans on what I've been up to, I'll stop.

Its not like I decide to stop after its known, I don't even think about it anymore until I realize, days later that I've stopped.

It's happened with exercise - I'll be at it, remembering to exercise every day, all proud of myself. Then, "guess what, I've been exercising every day this week!" and then I wont do it again for another six months...

It's happened with the many times I've tried to start this blog - happen to mention it to Chase - then won't even log on for months...

I dont  know why it happens, but it really bothers me. I'd like to be able to do things and have the people in my life be able to know about them without them coming to a dead stop.

So I'm at it again... This blog, even though I'm still going to keep it secret for now (even from Chase) is going to be how I try to work through this, and my attempt at a new years resolution. And one day I'll tell people about it, but for right now, I'm going to keep it secret until I've been at it for some time. And maybe... just MAYBE, it'll help.

Baby steps....

Baby step to the elevator... Im in the elevator! AHHH!
