How is it nearly March already?

I've been terrible about posting here, but i swear I haven't forgotten my list, my goals, or that I still need to finish my list.

Killing a bunch of birds with one stone, I went back to my old job at a local gym for a few hours a week. I have some time at the moment and why pay for a gym membership when I can simply get paid to have one? So I'm working on the weight loss/core strengthening/flexibility thing. It's really easy to procrastinate on things like fitness - but if I HAVE to be there anyway, why not grab a workout while I'm there? It's got me in a better mood/place than I was a few weeks ago.

I spent the first week of the year freezing my tits off in Chicago, in January I went to see The Bacchai in Boston, this past weekend I road-tripped into Brooklyn for the day to see the Gaultier exhibit, so so far I've made good on my plans to get out and see art and get into a proper city at least once a month. Still need to do more on that front...if it would just stop snowing for a while I still want to go do a photo walkabout in Boston one day.

The kitchen is slowly coming along...tomorrow I'm painting the ceiling and Dad will install the new lights. Hopefully the new stove will come in the next couple of weeks...

Other habits are harder to break - I'm still not reading like I want to. I need a new Rx for my glasses. I'm not even making excuses here, I need bifocals, reading has become nearly impossible over the last few years. Frustrating, as I have a stack of books to read, but when I have to struggle to focus like I do, it's easier to toss the book aside and watch SVU reruns on Netflix. So I'm still going to bed every night with my phone and iPad. What can I say. I have sleep issues. With nothing to distract my mind I will start obsessing over every stupid thing. It's much easier to relax to the sound of gruesome sex crimes.

I still need to work harder at promoting my photography. My first meetings with event planners at local venues went really well. It's always gratifying to have someone tell you your work is wonderful and that they will absolutely recommend you to their clients. I need to set up more meetings and also figure out how to draw more non-wedding business. I need to make a lot more money,

I want to go to the UK for a couple of weeks in November this year and go to the House of Fun Weekender so I can finally see Madness play, and then also see The Specials. Because that would be all kinds of awesome. So I need  more money,

This concludes this update. One day these will become interesting. I swear.
