Map to the Simple Life

Jeff and I spent most of the day yesterday deciding on the toy hauler that we will buy so he can start looking into buying a truck large enough to cart it around.  We decided on three brands and models.  The Jayco Seismic 4212, the Heartland Cyclone 4200 or the Dutchmen Voltage 4155.  All are 5th wheels and about 44 feet long.  The floor plan on all of them is the same – 2 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, 2 patios, open concept living room/kitchen, lots of windows.

Today I spent the day working on end of year things and prepping the business for a transfer.  Can’t wait!

I also took Oliver for a long ride in the car.  Of the three dogs he can’s stand riding in cars.  I need to start working with him to get him over it.

Have a fabulous night!

I’m so happy that the holidays are over!  They are exhausting.  Now I can get back on track simplifying my life.  It got very complicated over the holidays.

It’s a new year!

After spending half the day in bed recovering from the partying last night I decided I can’t waste the entire first day of the year.  I’ve concocted a rather rigorous schedule for myself starting tomorrow.   Why start today when you can put it off until tomorrow?  My motto.

Jeff always says “If you don’t have a plan, plan to fail.”  He’s so right!

So I figured I better have one.  A plan.  And maybe a new motto.  God knows I have some sort of plan for everything and am quite organized, but when it comes to myself personally I wing it.  Meditation, yoga, long walks in the woods, learning to play guitar, weekly pedicures, studying a new skill all go to the wayside when something more pressing comes along.  Something more pressing ALWAYS comes along.

I’ve downloaded a battalion of apps for my phone that should keep me on track with daily and hourly reminders as well as progress tracking.  My phone never leaves my side for long so it seems the best choice to monitor and keep me on the right path.  Jorte, Chakra Meditation, Down Dog, 7M Workout, My Fitnes Pal, Map my Fitness, Fat Secret, 500 Body-weight Challenge, Guitar Lessons by Guitar Tricks.   Now some of these apps will likely prove useless but I’m giving them a try.

Have a fabulous night.
