Bringing in the New Year...

I can say that over the year + time that it has taken me to get over Mike... I have accumulated a lot of JUNK and lost my organizational skills. I gave up on that all together. I decided that to bring in the New Year... I needed a new make over... not just with my appearance and that, but in my living quarters as well! I went to Wal-mart today... and picked out some paint... I decided to start a small project... and paint my bathroom. The tiling in it is pink... I dont know why, that's just what was here when my family and I moved in... It's hard to really match colors with pink... so I decided to get creative. My bathroom is going to be pink, black and white... I bought some white paint and some black paint.... I'm going to put black stripes on the walls... I don't know we'll see how it turns out. It won't be extreme... but it will definitely modernize the bathroom. It's only a half bath off my room... so it's not a huge space to work on. I cleaned it out and painted the walls white, tomorrow will be the black stripes... when the white is dry... Even with the fresh white paint on the walls, it really brightened up the bathroom. I'm excited!!

I'm deciding what to do with my bedroom. It is a mess, I won't even lie! I watch this show called "Clean House" on the style channel... and my room isn't quite that bad, but I've watched it enough to realize that I too use clutter to deal with my emotional state. I use the clutter as a copeing machanism. It's depressing... So it's time for a fresh start! Right now my room, is a very pale lavendar color... I'm deciding what to do with it... I want something totally out of the ordinary for me... I've always been one of those really girly girls where everything is pink and purple. I remember being younger and picking out the paint for my room when i was about six or seven and it was literally the color of pepto bismol... not to mention I had dancing ballerina bears as a border around the room....lol I was thinking about doing my room a pretty teal color... sort of serene and tranquil.... I don't know... the "princess" part of me might get the best of me and I may end up with a different shade of purple or another pepto bismol pink room....lol

One door closes, and another will open, and its time to get my life cleaned up. I want a fresh start into the new year. Mind, Body, and Soul... oh and space as well! lol

Well, I rented This Christmas... that I have been dying to see since forever but never made it to the movies last year to see it and every time i go to the video store its all rented... so I finally got it... and I'm going to watch it! That and this other movie called the women... So... y'all have a good night!

I am hoping that you will post pics of your projects...I have The Women on my quue at Netflix, so tell me how it is...It looks funny!!! Oh, and Ariel, I am so happy that you have started to do these 'projects'. I usually unpack and clean out my mental baggage this time of year. Tossing the stuff that does not fit me anymore and repacking it into smaller bags... That is the goal, smaller bags... Happy New Year toy you as well....

No seriously, I think you are on the right track. Make sure you remember that on 'less than' days.
