I know... it's about time! But I have a good excuse! Let me explain.... Shortly after Chris and I were married, we experienced a strange phenomenon call "twinsplosion". This is a rare event in which a newly married couple copes with the arrival of twins somewhere around their first anniversary. With that being said, the last few years have been busy to say the least! Twins really do take up a lot of time... in fact all the time. However, the tide is shifting! After this so called "twinsplosion", life in general became quite chaotic. It has taken a bit over 5 years for the dust to settle. Not only have Chris and I adjusted to married life, we have finally adjusted to parenthood. Prior to this, we were living in survival mode. Needless to say, many things were put on the side burner (this blog being one) and life in general being another.
Now that the dust has settle and my head has finally cleared the surface, it's on to new things... here comes the LIST! These are simple (but vital) things I've been meaning to accomplish for quite some time. Let me caution you though... I am known to fabricate lists such as: 100 must read books, 100 books I must read to the twins before the age of 2 (oops, missed out on that one), 100 steps to a healthier me, 100 things to do with an old shower curtain... you get the idea. Unfortunately, the lists are never accomplished (except for the 100 must read books, I'll explain my reading addiction some other time). This list thing isn't my fault though. It's ingrained within my personality... that online personality test even said so.
This reminds me of one of my dear piano students (Hi Abby!). I've been teaching piano lessons for about 10 years or so and this student has been with me since the very beginning, I pretty much raised her. Somewhere along the way, I realised that we were very alike in many ways. We've always had this understanding that we think as one, we understand each other in every way. One week, she came to her lesson and told me that she didn't practise one bit (GASP!) but handed me a paper and on that paper was "100 Steps to passing my grade 8 piano exam", or something close to that. Was I ever proud of her! So, we decided to both take an extensive personality test to see if we were really alike. The test consisted of these four letter combinations like KJIT and FJIE (or some other variations) and the amazing thing is, we were 100% alike! Our combination is W.E.I.R.D!!! (oops.. too many letter!)
Anyway my list!!!!
1. Organize my house from top to bottom (or bottom to top, haven't decided yet)
2. Lose the last bit of baby weight (hey! I had twins... I get twice as long to do this)
3. Earn my B.Ed degree (and to spice this up, I will do it all in FRENCH!)
4. Cut back on the reading addiction
5. Learn 11 foreign languages
Ok... lets not go overboard here! I would never be able to cut back on reading! What was I thinking!
I know this sounds like alot to accomplish but don't worry dear reader, I have a list to tackle it all!
