30 Day Blog Challenge: My Day

by Erin on January 16, 2012 in Challenge with 4 Comments

I’m doing a 30 Day Blog Challenge. Why? Because I’m sucky-sucky with keeping up with posting and it’s (the blogging, not the challenge thing) something I really want to keep at.

Anywho, I’m supposed to post a photo of myself and talk about my day. So here’s me (and the baby). Not from today, but unless you wanted to see me all grossed out from cleaning the house, you’ll take this. And well, that pretty much says what I did today: cleaned.

We *finally* got the Christmas stuff down and put away. The tree was a total PITA. I had to help and it really made me wonder how single moms do this crap. I could never do it. NEVER. I’d have to find myself a nice handyman to do it. ;)

So aside from cleaning, I fed the baby and changed her diaper. I also did some 1st birthday scouting. Yep. I’m on a roll. Let’s hope tomorrow is equally exciting.

(And woo hoo to 2 Broke Girls for their Golden Globe! Love that show!)

New year, new me?

Hmmm… seems that’s the “normal” thought for everyone. However, I am determined, not so much to make a new me, more so a more organized me… in every way. Time to buckle down and a) lose the last of the weight (I need to lose less than I lost the last time, yet I’m finding it hard to start it up again), b) get more focused between working at home and family life (domestic goddess I am not, and it shows) and c) enjoy life.

With 7 months ’til TwiCon and 9 months ’til my sister’s wedding, the weight is a BIG issue. I’ve joined a “real” gym vs Curves, but have not gone yet. Not so much my fault — right after I joined, I got sick and between Thanksgiving, being sick and then Christmas I just couldn’t get there. I am determined to get there this week. I am excited about the various equipment. :)

One of the major things I am trying to get a hold on is my online identity.  I’ve been using various names over the past years, but have decided to switch to one across the board.  Of course this is going to take a little while and may cause me some pain, sigh, but it’s something I really need to do.  Too many sign in names, etc.  I want to have everything fluid.

And let’s not forget one of my top priorities of this year: me time.  I never get to do what I want to do any more.  Time is going by too fast.  I never get to “play” on the computer — I’m either on there for work or for some quick info thing.  No digital scrapbooking or playing around with the blog theme. :|  More me time.

Happy New Year!
