No Excuses!

Ok.  So this is my new blog.  Started today.  No excuses.  

I have been wanting to start this for a while now.  Recording thoughts and hopes and all the great happenings with my beautiful family (much much more to come on these fabulous people later).  Weighing in on great food and recipes (with huge emphasis on the “weighing in” part, as it seems I am constantly dieting).  Great movies, great books, great TV...a little bit of everything!  There is lots to blog about, and if blogging is anything like talking, I will be FABULOUS at it!   

The message at church today (shout out to Greg @ Crossroads, woo hoo!) was “No Excuses”.  It seemed the perfect day to begin my blogging experience.  I have had tons of excuses about waiting to start..don’t have time, can’t think of what to say (if you know me, that one is probably a real shocker), I can’t be still long enough, blah, blah, blah...  To be honest my “non-blog” excuses are nothing compared to the many, many excuses that I come up with everyday to NOT do a lot of things!  We all do it, some of us are worse than others, but we all make excuses to NOT do something everyday, some of us, hourly.

I make excuses to NOT clean house...it’s the weekend!  Or, to NOT take those seven huge trash bags of aluminum cans to the bin...well, it’s out of my way today.  One really big excuse that I make (I’m not even sure what excuse I tell myself) is NOT making doctors’ appointment, physicals, mammograms, all the annual stuff for Myself.  This is my health for goodness sake!  I am so paralyzed with the fear of something being wrong with me, that I can’t even make sure that there is not a thing wrong, and that, in fact, I am really fine. LOL!  This one is huge!  Something is gonna have to give!

Of course, the excuses don’t end there.  I have pictures to hang, clothes to wash, calls to make, closets to clean, and I need to quit drinking SO much wine everyday.  Ugh!!!  But God spoke to me today about my health.  I really have to take care of these things.  Some of you think that I am a complete crazy idiot.  “Call your doctor!” you say, and some, well, you are right there with me.  Those of you right there with me...call your doctor!  I’m calling mine tomorrow!  No excuses!!
