new years resolution

yes, i know every blogger in the world has already blogged about this but this is my blog and i don't care so nah nah nah nah boo boo! ok kindergarten flashback...whoa. anyhoo, i gave this whole resolution some hard thought and even considered not doing one since my usual "get in shape this year" gets blown off by about february or march but i thought of a realistic and important thing that i need to change. i've decided my new years resolution for 2011 is to be on time!

yes folks, i have developed a nasty habit of being late...i have many excuses that i know don't make any logical sense but while i'm using those excuses they seem to be really important in the moment. such as, wanting to spend just 5 more minutes at home because i'm such a home body...well then i end up rushing into class 5 minutes late which basically tells my professor and classmates that i don't value their time. no matter what i'm late for...i've faced the cold hard facts that it's just plain rude! landon teases me for constantly being late, like the time i told him on the phone i was getting in the shower and 45 minutes later when he showed up at my door i was still standing in my pj's fumbling around saying how much i had to do some homework really quick, then feed the dog, then eat breakfast...blah blah blah blah. you get the point. another excuse i give landon is that i take extra time to look cute for him. this is true in part, but i shouldn't take that long when all i really do is shower, do my hair, put on makeup, then throw on a pair of jeans and a shirt...not really the work of a beauty queen. so even though i hate to admit that he's partially right, emphasis on the word partially, i must admit that my bad habit has gotten out of control. just to be clear and make myself stick to it...

i will strive to be five minutes early or on time at the very least!

that's all folks!
