Resolutions
Mine are going to be simple. I rarely make resolutions because I have a short attention span and little interest in my weight if I'm honest, even though it grosses me out.
But if it's simple, maybe I'll do it.
1. I won't be petty. I often have been, and while I recognize it is very childish and mostly backfires, it is a cyclic messy mess that grows ever messier. So, I will try my best to not be a petty person, even though I don't honestly know what a better alternative is. Poor ex wifey will probably be getting a lot of "give me advice" texts.
That said, this resolution will not restrict my love of Tom Petty.
2. I will spend one day a week without a computer and without casual texting, and instead spend that day in the fresh air, studying, cleaning or reading a book. Supplemental to this resolution: I will read one book per week. It doesn't have to be all in that one day, it probably shouldn't be either, ideally, but one a week.
I would appreciate book recommendations from anybody!
OK, so maybe #2 is difficult, but I think it will do me a world of good. Right? I mean, Dean King (how cool is that name? Dean King.) must have said it for a reason at our commencement.
With 2010 ending and 2011 just around the corner, I asked my grandma to read my future (my fate, literally) in Turkish coffee (I'm not making this up). From what she sees, it's all bright skies and hard work ahead. I had a long, long road ahead of me in life, but it bears success (God willing and all my salt over one shoulder, etc). There's a great boat that I will sail on in my near future, and a crow that is seated on it, bearing good news (This makes me think of Edinburgh, because the only way I am willing to travel to Scotland is by boat. The only boat that takes dogs onboard is a massive, elite luxury boat).
There is a cat that is looking at me, a friend that claws at me no matter what I do for her. There is a bright candle, and new friends in my future. There is a guy that likes me, but it's one sided.
There were eyes in my reading, which in our culture is seen as the evil eye, the jealous eye. Both my grandmas and my mum burned esvand for me to ward off evil thoughts, wishes and any ill will of the evil eye.
There is a plane in my future, and I fly after a V, victory, and a free bird. Grandma is very happy for me, and really, that's all I need. I've gone on less.
I love these readings she does, they're amazing, and frighteningly accurate. It terrifies me every year that "this one might be the last" God forbid.
