13 hours shy of new year's day...

...but it still counts as new years, right?

Anyways, this is the official first post on my five-minute old blog! Really I'm doing this at the beheath and bequest (no, I don't think those are real words) of my sister. She said, "Do it on New Year's Day, you and mom do one together!" I enthusiastically replied, "Okay, sounds great!"

Yeah right.  

Well, it almost worked. As I said, it still counts as new years, and my mom IS going to make her own blog, soon, when she can think of a name, then it'll be soon...no really, soon...

So that's basically how this was born. Imagine, if you will, a languid pregnant mother on a hospital bed, a cup of steaming tea in one hand and a sci-fi novel in the other, as the nurses rush around and a doctor says, "Now, push! Push!" The oblivious mother says,"Yeah, okay, in a minute..."and a few hours later she remembers! Just in time to pop out a complacent blog post.

Just thought I'd give a general idea of how this blog is going to function.

So now's the time when I start into my new year's resolutions. I was just reading my sister's blog, with all her lovely aspirations, and thought, "Wow, those sound really awesome, maybe I SHOULD do something like that, make a list, think it through..."Ha. You guessed it:

Yeah right.

But yesterday talking with my family about new year's resolutions and the like, I said, "Well, you know, I don't really make new YEARS resolutions, 'cause I usually make new resolutions each day. You know, in the morning you sit up (or just kind of roll your head around) and think 'Today I think it would be a good idea to work on not being lazy. Got that? If I see something lying around, I'll pick it up.' Or maybe,'Today I resolve to be friendly to people. Get on facebook. Actually talk to people.' Or even just,'I resolve to get out of bed.' These are usually followed by a prayer, 'cause I mean really. There's no way I could do stuff (anything) without God. So for me, I really can't do year long resolutions, I just need to get the hang of daily ones first." So I said something to that extent I think.

And, just because my ramble on resolutions isn't long enough, I might also have said,"Oh yeah, and also, another reason I don't make NEW new years resolutions is because I really need to keep working on the OLD ones first. You know, like I said, basic stuff."

Well, I think I hear Kingdom Hearts calling my name. Or, calling something. I can't quite hear. Maybe I should go check.
