Not resolutions?

Ok I know I haven't put up Christmas pictures yet but I honestly didn't take many.  Maybe eight and then my camera died and I wasn't about to try to pause Christmas to grab the other camera.  And on the trip to Florida I literally did not take a single picture.


As the new year came, I read and heard about a lot about resolutions.  I really hate the idea of New Year's resolutions for some reason.  I feel like if you want to make a change, great, make it.. who cares what day it is.  Don't wait for a new year to do things you want to do.  However, I am a hypocrite this year.  None of the resolutions I made were anything I hadn't thought of before, but I just decided to write them down and try to focus on them and make them habits.  I will call them goals.. you know, so I don't sound like the hypocrite that I am.


Anyways, the point is that I am trying to focus on things in the real world and in turn I am putting the blog on the back burner.  Actually, it's pretty much always been on the back burner but you know what I mean.  


The good news (for me) is that my house is getting so clean! One of my resolutions goals is to really stay on top of the house cleaning.  Not that our house is a disaster, but in the past week, I've steam cleaned the carpets, organized the spice cabinet, organized our closets, and lots of other things that were not urgent but that I am glad to have them done.  


Another resolution goal is to change up our decor at the apartment here.  I'm always so scared to hang things on the wall because I can't tell if they match or if the placement is right, but I'm trying to get over that.  I've already put up a few new things on the walls and I love them.  Every time I walk in the room and see them, I think "wow, I'm glad I did that".  And I am always afraid of buying something that won't match the house, but everyone who has a home I love always says "I just get what I like and it all ends up working together".  I am trying to remind myself of this and let loose a bit so to speak.  I haven't changed up a whole lot yet, and some things aren't feasible to change (paint color, major furniture) but when I get a bit more done, I will try to post some pictures.  


So that's why I will likely be away from the blog for another week or two.  After that I will try to get the Christmas pictures and some decoration pictures maybe.
