Already?

Hello there reader..possibly readers :) How are you on this last hump day of August? Can you believe it’s already September of 2013?? Yes in a few days but still, it feels like it’s crept up so quickly. Especially on the people that every year in January say “I will do that thing by *insert date here*!” next thing they know it is September and have done nothing! It’s difficult to realize all of a sudden that you have again wasted another year.

Kids are going back to school, new cell phones are coming out, and lots of babies are being born. This is what September always brings, it means new beginnings. A time to reflect on what next year may be. New calendars come out to warn you and give you hope of trying again whatever you had aimed to try this year. It also means that all the fun holidays are coming up! I’m already excited for Christmas; yes you read that correctly, I said Christmas! WOOO HOOOO Ok, it’s too early to start talking about it but just know I’m thinking about it! Another exciting one is Halloween; it’s the one holiday I can dress in costume without people wondering why I’m doing it!  Speaking of that, I have no idea what I should be this year…hmmmm this is important and I’ll try to think of something awesome but doesn't rip me of my finances! What will you be? I love seeing the things people come up with, it’s so fun and sometimes so inventive it hurts!

The less fun part is the wiiinnnnter that is inevitable. I will tell you that I am extremely happy to be in the west coast and in an area of it that doesn’t see much snow because I could go the rest of my life without it and wouldn’t miss it. At. All. There is, of course, a lot of rain here but I truly love it. Riding it in might not be as awesome but I’ll make due. Right, my riding. Well, I finally took the bike out and guess what? I DIED I’m in worse shape than I thought but I will do my best to change that for the better. It was pretty bad, I felt as if my lungs were going to collapse and my heart was going to jump out of my chest, not a nice feeling. That brought up another realization, this one an ugly one about my lack of self support! I’ve made some pretty awesome choices in the past few years and all but it really wasn’t much compared to what I haven’t done. Still. I’m very proud of what I have done so far. There’s the getting regular check ups, working towards regulating my health and I quit smoking. I’ve also researched a bunch of different diets and lifestyle changes that may help but I haven’t quite gotten that part down. It’s hard when you’re used to your ways and you’re too lazy to change them but I CAN DO IT! YES I CAN!

Here’s to hoping I get my act together and do this! Side note: I saw Hamlet and Twelfth Night and let me tell you, these productions were done soooooo well that I really hope many more people get to see them! They’re running for another 2 weeks I believe. If you’re in the Vancouver area, pleeease check out http://www.bardonthebeach.org/

Too-dah-loo until next time!
