Why, hello there friend!
This little journal is an important part of my new years resolution. I know, I know -- you're thinking, "Kelly! You dumbass! New years resolutions are made to be broken. You're setting yourself up for disapointment." But take a bite out of this: I have been putting this plan into motion for over a month. I am ahead of the game. I am ready for curveballs. I am one step ahead. I am full of metaphors.
So what is this resolution? Get ready for (drumroll please)
OPERATION: KELLY
great title, eh?
Now OPERATION: KELLY breaks down into four lil' bullets of life changes I have decided to put into motion obviously to become a more outstanding friend, daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, employee, cousin, niece, sister-in-law, part-time lover, and human being. But the selfish reason is because like all mid-twenty somethings in the world I have become kind of "blah" I have lived the past year in kind of a haze of "what the fuck am I doing and how in the fuck am I expected to be a grown-up when I feel I have absolutely no idea how to do it?" and from what I have heard this feeling doesn't ever really go away anytime soon, if ever. So why not buck up, brush the dirt off my pants (my shoulders are clean, thanks) and be insanely selfish this year before I can't be anymore. You know, before I have a career or babies or hardcore relationships to worry about.
To be honest I think a majority of my past problems have been because I care way too much about other people. I worry about them, and put myself on the backburner. I tend to not deal with my thoughts and feelings and happiness and sadness and anger and frustration but worry myself sick about the people I love and their thoughts and feelings and happiness and sadness and anger and frustration. I am in no way saying OPERATION: KELLY means I stop caring and loving my friends, I just think in caring and loving myself more I will be a better and more caring friend. This is my plan.
And now that I have wasted all that space, I am ready to announce OPERATION: KELLY in a bulleted format.
OPERATION: KELLY
1. Operation: Get Organized
*Journal (you're looking at it)
*Budget Budget Budget
*Write my Grandma back
*Write thank-you notes
2. Operation: Get Healthy
*Eliminate the crap I put in my body as best I can
* Keep on the treadmill, be jogging by March
* Dance more. So much more.

3. Operation: Get Laid

4. Operation: Get Out of Comfort Zone
*Do things that make me scared.
*Seek out adventures

Now you can see how this journal is an intrigal part of Operation: Get Organized. I plan to do this daily, or as close to that as humanely possible. I give myself permission to take a holiday when I am sick, someone I love is sick, when I am hungover, or when I need a break. I think that covers my bases.
And there you have it. OPERATION: KELLY in all it's glory.
In other news, it is fucking cold outside.
until tomorrow...
