It happens
Me, coming across wrong that is.
It happens a lot.
My humor can be rather crooked.
I can be too honest... or not honest enough.
I say things and then leave it, never explaining what the hell I was talking about, what I was getting at.
Sometimes when I try to explain myself, it doesn't make any sense.
I imagine it happens to you as well. I'm not the only quirky one in the world.
Anyways, I got an email from a friend the other day and she informed me that she thought I was too hard on myself in my last post. That puzzled me, so I went and re-read the post.
Hmmm.... ok, so maybe it came across like that. Maybe, if you read it negatively.
Here's the thing I forgot to explain: I believe that if something is yours, you own it. This includes flaws.
Life is all about discovery and your biggest research project is yourself.
It's your job to know you.
All different aspects of you.
Discover them,
See them,
Except or change them.
When I talk about my flaws, I'm not ragging on myself, I'm exploring myself further. Digging deeper. Looking for others perspectives so that my own can grow.
I don't know if that makes any sense. Like I said, sometimes I don't explain myself well.
It happens.

Static
I've been trying to blog for days now.
Obviously it hasn't worked.
I've tried to come up with something to talk about, honestly, I've even tried to force it a few times by opening up the post writer and putting my fingers to the keyboard.
Static.
All I hear is static.
So, rather than continue the silence, I figured I'd talk about it. Not that you're not used to it by now, right? I mean, honestly, how many times have I announced, "I'm back!" or have had to say, "Did you miss me?"
Those of you that know me in person, know that this is what I'm like. I'm either talking too much, or not talking enough. There is rarely a happy medium.
The passed week I've been spending my days alternating between being a miserable grumpy bitch and being in a day dream stupor.
January is a busy month, there are things I should be doing, but you know me, Queen Procrastinator.
Why do Now what I can do Tomorrow..?
It's my motto.
Not a good one, not even one that I choose consciously, but it is what it is. It's mine. And if there's one thing I'm good at, it's owning my flaws... once I've recognized them, that is.
Right now, I'm day dreaming about having my own studio. A place where all my tools are set up and waiting. A place where I can't decide to watch tv instead, or find myself an hour later still on Facebook. A place where my motto doesn't rule supreme. It would be nice, wouldn't it? Course, day dreams generally are nice. Otherwise a person wouldn't be dreaming while awake about whatever it is they're dreaming about, would they?
I tell keep telling myself, "It'll happen. I'll get my studio one day." But I take no steps toward making it happen. I've got too much Dream, not enough Do. Just another flaw.
You want to know somemore flaws? Here, I'll tell you a few. Then maybe you can share some of yours.
OK, I shared some of mine. Let's hear yours.

- I can't drive. Seriously, I'm horrible. (I've never been in an accident while I'm driving, but it's been close.)
- I spend too much time on the computer.
- I only half listen most of the time. It's something I'm constantly struggling with my son over, yet it comes straight from my genes. If you hear me saying, "uh-huh...yeah... huh... funny..." I'm not listening to you. Feel free to call me on it. I mean, I'll lie about it, but at least you will have gotten my attention.
- My main food groups are, Sugar, High Fructose Syrup, Artificial Colouring, and Chocolate.
- I'm a total clutter-bug. A borderline hoarder really. It's so bad it even bugs me. But do I do anything about it? Pfft.
- I cut ppl off. (When they're talking, I mean. We've already covered Driving.) I can't seem to stop. I'll even go into a convo telling myself, "you won't interrupt" and yet there I am, cutting the person off, to talk about.... ME!
- My favorite way to exercise is to watch infomercials for the AB-DOer Twist (seriously, have you seen that one? It'll make your day.)
OK, I shared some of mine. Let's hear yours.

Hi
So, good new... I shaved a leg today.*
Guess that means I'm shaking off my Holiday Stupor. Maybe.
How were your holidays? Did you gain 5 pounds?
If you didn't, you fail. FAIL.
Maybe you Failures don't know the secrets to success. I'll give you a few basic pointers to help you along next year, since I'm just awesome like that.
Tip #1: Stay in your Jammies until at least 1230 every day. 130 is better, but you want to ease into these things.
Tip #2: Eat at least 2 holiday treats before and while your coffee is brewing. Then, eat 4 more with your coffee. Didn't you know? From December 20th-January 3rd breakfast consists of sugar plums (what are those things anyways? Anyone ever had one?).
Tip #3: Watch at least 4 hours of day time TV... no, not through out the holidays. Every. Day. Christmas movies are preferable, but Soap Opera's will do in a pinch. Eat more holiday treats while you're at it.
Tip #4: All coffee drinks must be treated with yummy holiday flavorings. Kahlua, Coraline's, or even Irish Cream flavored Petroleum Products (there's some of that in my fridge right now... love me some edible petroleum products.)
Tip #5: Cream Cheese, Brie, Camembert. They are your friends, you are supposed to surround yourself with your friends during the holidays...
Tip #6: There is no exercising during the Holidays, none. If you are thinking about it, you haven't grasped the idea of a HOLIDAY. Instant fail if you even try it. FAIL. (Kim totally failed, by the way.)
Mind you, these are mostly just morning tips... you will have to round out the rest of your day on your own.
How many of you do the whole New Year's Resolution thing? I don't believe in them myself. Why make goals you're not going to keep once a year? I mean, I do it year round, so you do, why try to make January 1st seem special? C'mon, be honest, if you are cool putting off that Big Change until the beginning of the year, chances are you're going to be cool continuing to put it off for a while longer, non? Now, those of you that said yes to my NYR question, do you want to bet on whether you'll follow through this year? I'll collect my winnings at the end of this year.
Now, aren't you glad I'm back? Yay! Lissy's back to spread some good feelings and lovely advice around. Mwah!
Hearts and Bubbles,
*Yeah, just one, that's not a typo.
