I Hate You, Blogger!!!

Today I posted something on my blog (and I'm not referring to this post either) but I didn't mean to. And then Moli read it. And now she's holding me accountable for it. Argh! And then my friend commented on it. Man!

I hate you, blogger!!! Why did you change? Why is it so hard to do everything now? How did I post that post when I thought that I had deleted it? I'm really, really mad!

Now that's off my chest I have to get something else off my chest - I really, really don't like people who are unable to thoughtfully listen (or read) opinions that differ from their own. I spent the best part of this day observing a blog "war" about modesty. I was so grumpy that I actually put my opinion out there. I usually keep my opinions to myself but today..... If you'd like read to read about people of faith (mainly Mormons) having a kerfuffle about modesty you can read about it here. But don't read it. Because no matter how you feel about the subject, there is some comment that is bound to make you feel upset.

On a much happier note, Super Junior is releasing a new album this weekend! Here is the first teaser video -



I think the song is going to be awesome.

This is a new concept, a Highlight Medley of the songs from the new CD -



Here are their teaser pictures which are weird, artsy, and interesting -

 And now I'm going to post this (on purpose) and I hope it doesn't look weird. When I try to preview it it looks really strange with words where the videos should be and just a bit of the picture. Stupid blogger! I hate you!!!

What I Like

The other day I bought a book about habits. It's called ,"The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. I have one more chapter to go and I've bee really impressed by what I've read. It turns out that habits can be made without thinking about them, they are very strong but also very fragile, they can keep us on the straight and narrow, or keep us from reaching our dreams. They can have ripple effects in our lives. The quest for one goal can lead to a domino effect that can cause a cascade of change. Awesome! Individuals have habits Companies have habits Societies have habits I would also add that families have habits as do small groups of people. Lately my habits have been gathering dust as I have neglected them, ignored them, and occasionally destroyed them. Of course I'm talking about my good habits. Bad habits can be neglected, and ignored, but they are never really destroyed. (That is very disheartening.) Anyway, I find myself exclaiming, "Argh!!!" very loudly and on a regular basis as I realize how far I am falling. This must not be allowed to continue. One of my problems is that I have too many goals. And some are too lofty. I am impatient and want results NOW! I am lazy. I don't really believe I can do xyz. I fear change. Crap! But it's time to turn all that around. These are my goals. I don't think there are too many (4). I don't think they are too hard. And I do think I can do them because I have before. 1- exercise every day 2- study the scriptures every day 3- make my bed very day 4- do something creative everyday That's it. Somebody please stop me if I start talking about adding to this list. It takes a long time for something to become a habit for me. Therefore, I will give myself six months of working on these things before considering adding any new goals.
