Hi there...
This year I've decided... (been persuaded ;)... to get more active with my social media, and as I've said, I got Facebook totally cased, I am a posting machine if I do say so myself. And Pinterest. Oh my god that shit is like crack. It's the Twitter, Instagram, and Google Chrome stuff that needs more of my attention. So in my efforts, a few...and OrdinaryGirl will laugh here...weeks ago I Tweeted a question. "Why is bra singular and panties plural?" BAM! I ended up with like 10 new followers. Now I was actually born before the internet, but I am not neccesarily new to technology and in my...dare I say it....old fashioned perspective on social media, Ive come to a couple conclusions.
On Pinterest, you pin. On Facebook you post. Though if you're posting on Twitter, you aren't, you're tweeting and the post is a tweet, but it doesn't make you a twit. And if you post on Tumblr, it's still a post and not a tumble, but it doesn't make you a tumbler.
I find it a litte odd how the younger generation so easily embraces social media and literally documents their lives on the internet. Though I'm sure the generation before us thought it was odd that we so easily embraced the VHS system when they were just getting a handle on the whole beta thing.
Though I must say I simply love the fact that I can pay my bills in my jammies on the couch with just the touch of a few buttons, get unlost in seconds, order a pizza without talking to anyone and if I'm so inclined I can learn the most obsccure and bizarre facts known to woman.
I am being dragged-albeit not kicking and screaming-into this wondrous world of social media and given that I plan on grabbing life by the biscuits this year, having a way to share, nay, document my adventures will come in handy when I'm in my nineties staring in the mirror wondering where the hell all these tattoos came from...
That Is All...now go socialize with your media savvy selves.

Hi there...
Where did the last year go? Seriously, I swear I JUST had a birthday and now its here again? Ugh...I made resolutions this time last year, plans to change those habits, improve this, and learn that. There were changes, improvments, and lessons learned, but not many of them were actually planned. This is a good thing, I mean you can insert your own cliche here, but life happens when you're busy making plans and the changes I've made over this past year have both terrified and impressed the hell out of me.
I've learned that I can roll with it (Thank you OrdinaryGirl) . Just roll with it. Do what I can when I can, but I will not let it control me. I've learned that I will never be too old to have a sense of wonder. I am a mushbag and proud of it. I've learned it is what it is and that's alright. I've learned to think about myself, and not just for myself.
I've changed my perspective and priorities. I am the most important person in my life.
I've improved my mental and emotional state. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?
I accomplished these things not because I made a list, and not beccause I made promises on a certain day at a specific time. I accomplished these things because my time of dwelling on things I can't change is done and worrying myself sick about things I can't control is counterproductive to forward motion. So I'm going to roll with it, go with the flow, see where it takes me. No resoulutions, no lists of goals on a piece of paper that will end up getting lost or not completed. If I need to make a change in my life or within myself, I'm not going to consult a list of resolutions and that was written because I felt obligated to pick apart who I am or thinking I'm not good enough or because society says its expected at this time of year. I am going to accomplish things this year. Be spontaneous, be the change I want to see (Thank you Dali Lama) and not because its that time of year and is expected but because its the right time for that moment to become reality and change me and my life for the better.
Like fine wine, I get better with age but its up to me to refine that vintage. I'm going to grab life by the biscuits, and cross a few more things off my list of things to do before I die.
So my friends, grab some biscuits and do at lest one thing that scares you. Its a good thing.
That Is All...
