Number 26 on my 101 goals list is to learn CSS/HTML/PHP well enough to design and run my website independently. After much thought, equivocating, and some internal growth on my part I have decided to intentionally NOT complete this goal. The reason it ended up on the list in the first place is because I am committed to my blog and I like it so much better when it looks nice. I admit it, when I visit a new blog I totally judge its appearance. I won’t not read a blog if it’s badly designed, but if I like the way it looks then it has a higher chance of succeeding with me. I’m sure other people are the same way….

I woke up at 9:30 a.m. today, and that is approximately eleven hours of glorious sleep. The only reason I even left the bed was because my husband got up, and I couldn’t bear the cold room without his warm body next to me.

I was going through a hard time, and I needed to do something to give myself some perspective. I carried the list around with me for years, and added to it. A lot of the items are situational and wouldn’t make sense to you, but most of them are timeless and still apply. I rummaged the list up and would like to share some of it with you. Things to be thankful for: My hopes and dreams – even the fact that I have them My voice My brothers and I turned…

1. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? I didn’t have any high hopes and dreams, but I do remember having a vague thought of wanting to be a photographer before I really knew anything about it. When I was a little older I wanted to be an athletic trainer or a physical therapist. So that’s more along the lines of what I actually ended up doing. 2. Name 3 of your irrational fears. The only thing that I know for sure that I’m irrationally afraid of is touching live shrimp. That, and having a roach crawl on me in bed. I have experienced both, and both caused me to have mini-breakdowns. The…
