Promises, promises

This year my new years resolution was to actually have the baby (she turned up sixteen days late). So now's the time to make a proper one. I always make impossible resolutions e.g. you might notice a few posts back I vowed to make/photograph a piece of jewellery every day. It takes hours to do this - at least two or three. And I knew already I'd be looking after a newborn. I can't emphasise enough how time consuming it is caring for a baby. And somehow I've become this 'house wife' and have started cleaning and getting in the kitchen and making sandwiches. Ha. I told myself I'd Wii Fit it half an hour every day and I haven't even managed to do that.

I think my house is too cluttered and full of all that junk I don't really need or want. I think life would be a lot easier, a lot more efficient if there wasn't so much junk all over the place. I mean, I have ornaments friggin everywhere. It takes so long to dust everything off that I never want to do it. It think my mind is too cluttered too. Information overload. There's so much information and stuff available out there on the net that I'm always seeking something out to look at, even though usually it's just a complete waste of time. I'm spending all this time doing stupid things I don't need to do, just for the sake of doing them. Same goes for watching TV. It's on all the time, and my original excuse was to teach Katie that the day time is noisy and for being awake . Now I find myself just watching all kinds of stuff, even stuff I've seen before, even stuff I've got on DVD! I watch all the ad breaks and everything, insane.

So, my new years resolution:

1. Cleaner desktop
2. Less checking and rechecking of Facebook/feeds/forums
3. Less looking at news websites
4. Less watching TV just for the sake of it
5. Throw/sell/donate more stuff that I don't want/need
   

Go!
