My lack of follow-through...

        I'm awesome at getting things done when they need to be done, the key word there being need. Your idea of need may be different than mine, but I'm going to give you an example of my lack of follow-through. Take 2012 Christmas cards for example: I got the cute cards in October, then by November they where all addressed and ready to go out the first few weeks of December. But it is the 2nd of January 2013 and they have not gone out. I think it is because I got them so early that by the time December comes around, everyone expects it and I have already moved on to the next thing because I got them done so long ago. They no longer seemed like a need in my life. So the simple answer for next year will be... wait until December to even think about them. 

Then there is the whole issue with the laundry. I'm awesome at getting the laundry done on laundry day, getting it all nice and folded while it is still warm I might add. But when I get to dragging it up the stairs into our bedroom, I set down the basket and move on to the next thing without putting the clothes away. Then when I actually do put them away, I totally forget about the clothes that I have and wind up buying new clothes. I may be a little absent-minded. But I have found a simple answer to this problem. I got a book shelf—yes, a book shelf—to put my clothes on, and it works surprisingly better than the dresser; not perfectly, but it is getting better. 

I don't make New Year's resolutions because, as you can plainly see, I have an issue with making it to the finish line. So no, this is not my resolution. This is simply something I wish to do better at and so I'm making changes, small ones but changes none the less, to get better at actually following through with something. 

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve and have a great 2013, and if you are anything like me, let's hope we don't leave our heads at home on our way to work anymore.
