New Year

I knew I wasn’t going to be very good at this.

I realize its January 11, but I have decided today is the day to implement my New Year resolutions.

I suppose I need to tell you (my zero followers haha) what they are. I have yet to decide if saying/writing these types of things down helps me or hurts me.

1. Implement the wink. In high school I said I was going to bring back the side ponytail and yall, I did!! I really believe that. So when you see a side pony… know that I had a hand in it. Anyway, I think that winks are just the cutest. Sure, old people and attractive men are at the top of the list but I’m pretty sure I might be able to pull this off. I just have to a) get up the nerve b) lock eyes with someone far enough away…there is nothing more awkward than a too close wink.
2. This. Blog more. I renamed the blog to “You, Me and Eloise” because my roommate Chase and I have named our house Eloise and the three of us are just flat out entertaining.

About Eloise: Eloise is a cold hearted you know what. Her heat doesn’t work so much so its very very chilly inside. We’ve tried to space heat the place and sometimes it kind of works but for the most part, we stay bundled up in snuggies, comforters, sweatshirts and house shoes. She is an older woman, with a few bumps and bruises…but aside from the cold, all is bearable and well…we signed up for it.

Several evenings a week Chase, Eloise and I host a cooking show. Chase watches a lot of the Food Network so he is definitely more camera ready than I am but I’ll get there. We take you through the process of preparing a meal (as we make it up most of the time). We have noticed that we tend to gear our show towards college kids and their tendency to be lazy and cheap. I wouldn’t dare say that WE are lazy and cheap…it’s totally for the kids!

Bottom line: this blog will be mostly about the events that take place in and around Eloise. You will also have the pleasure of learning about my roommate, Chase who is highly entertaining *most* of the time. Between the three of us, one is bound to be famous so….you heard it here first.

*Note* I just went home to lunch to find Chase completely under a comforter and in a sweatshirt. He’s claiming headache…Im claiming frostbite.

3. Become more of a yes (wo)man. I have an awful habit of sabotaging myself. For the sake of getting too deep I will just say that I often find excuses to not have fun. I will take myself out of situations for no good reason. This year I want to force myself to say “yes” more. You want to do margs on Monday? Sure. You want to go to a bachelor casting call? Okay. Wanna go country dancing? Perfect. You get the idea. I have a knack for awkward situations so stay tuned.
4. Call my meme more. She is my favorite person in the whole wide world and one day I am going to wish I had done this more.
5. Learn to love my body. Eek. Tough one. Whether that means I need to diet, workout, get some spanx, whatever. I have got to start appreciating the cards I have been dealt. This will be *by far* the hardest of the resolutions because I currently don’t have much nice to say about this ol’ gal that’s positive.

I think that concludes the resolutions of 2010.

Tomorrow is Top Ten Tuesday!
