My Relationship Resume

Given my relationship history, there is one thing I'm certain of... that I'm terrible at relationships.  So, in the interest of personal growth and self-improvement, I made the decision to create a relationship resume.  There's got to be some natural relationship ability within me!  Right?  Maybe?

Unfortunately, I ran into some very serious, slap in the face, physical proof that I am, in fact, not good at relationships.  All I could come up with was an extremely small list of promises.  What's sad is that there is nothing on this list that will lead to a very deep or loving relationship.


Needless to say, I have some work to do in regards to being a good relationship partner. 
  • To never avoid your phone calls because I'm angry with you.
  • To rub your back until you fall asleep.
  • To let you know that I think about you throughout the day.
  • To respond to your texts, when warranted, and not leave you hanging.
  • To compromise.
  • To be faithful.
  • To always ask about your day.
  • To learn about your interests so that we can both enjoy it.
  • To always be fun loving, and have a good time no matter what we do.
  • To remain in good shape and live a relatively healthy lifestyle.
  • To show my love through affection.
  • To continue to work on myself, and always strive to grow and learn.
  • To show up when you need me.
  • To commit to plans without being nagged about it.
  • To be respectful of your time, and always show up when I say I will.
  • To look nice for you.
  • To always find a way to be romantic.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Don't Lose Focus

I realized lately that I’ve started to lose my drive and focus when it comes to personal growth and improvement.   I hit, what felt like a major milestone a couple weeks ago, and I think in a way I felt like I could take a break.   And, while a break is ok, my “breaks” tend to last too long, or I simply stop entirely.   I recognize that I need to keep going on my current path.   Because, if I stop now, it could set me back.   And, I’m so tired of being set back, and being left behind.   What are those things that you’ve been putting off?   What is something that is undone in your life?   Get on it girl!  Even if you don't finish the task, start it today !

Happy November!

It is officially November, so you know what that means.   Holiday preparations are now in full swing.   I’ve been told I’m so organized I’m boring, but making lists, forward thinking and planning helps with managing my stress levels.   There is just so much to do, think about, and keep track of!   I have about 5 lists going right now.   It’s crazy.   What’s most exciting is that since I’ve moved to a house, my family and I will have more room to spread out and relax at Thanksgiving.   I always get so nervous that everything won’t work out, or people won’t have a good time.   But, no matter how much I worry, it always works out in the end. Here’s to a happy, healthy, and relatively stress free holiday season!
