Yes, I'm a slacker

So, yea, I've been neglecting this blog. I suppose it's like any other habit, you have to do it 21 days in a row to make it a natural thing and I'm terrible about forming new habits. It's almost harder than breaking bad ones.

Take going to the gym, for example...I can go for about 3 days in a row and then I get bored or something comes up and throws off my schedule. Now, I reaaalllyy want to start going to the gym on a regular basis. I have a girls weekend away coming up in April that I'd really like to be in better shape for. It's in Florida and you know what that means...bathing suits. Ugh, oh, the dreaded trying on of bathing suits. So, I really must make more of an effort to get to the gym. For my lazy self, I've considered getting a treadmill or elliptical machine to use at home but I just can't see paying that kind of money when I have a perfectly good gym membership. Free, in fact, since my hubby is military and we have use of a top-notch facility.

Now, it also doesn't help that we keep getting all types of goodies in the mail. Goodies of the chocolate variety...my weakness. Can you say Almond Roca??? or chocolate covered almonds or biscotti or, oh, I'm getting cravings just thinking about what's lurking in my kitchen right now. I...must...resist.

So, maybe, just maybe, I'll get myself to the gym today...but first, I have to go to the post office, shovel the sidewalk, wrap Christmas gifts, clean the kitchen, oh, gee, I just don't think I'll make it today...

Hi Julie,

I couldn't find your e-mail address, so I thought I would leave a comment because I wanted to write and tell you about a new website for artists, musicians, fashion designers, and filmmakers: www.PutItOn.com. I've been using the site as an artist and have my work there, and am trying to support it because I believe in it. Basically, the site allows artists from all over the world to connect, display their portfolios, and sell their work (with NO commission taken!). The site gives artists a FREE gigabyte of space to showcase their portfolios, allows you to stream audio and video works, lets you create live personal broadcasts, and translates any writing into ten different languages. If you could take the time to visit the site, and if you like it too, let your readers know about it, and even sign up yourself or link to it on your site it would be greatly appreciated! We are trying to make a go of helping out artists everywhere and are trying to get the word out, so please help us out if you like the site after checking it out! Thank you!

All the best,
Sarah at PutItOn.com
