Christmas Comings
I've been practicing my balancing act profusely lately. Between work, the upcoming exam, financial setbacks, dieting, worrying about my damn foot, trying to remember I no longer have the freedom of being single, and all the other fun things that come with adulthood I've neglected the site quite a lot the past few months. Part of this was even attributed to knowing that blogs and websites are a dime a dozen these days and that my tenure doesn't count for much these days. Knowing that the internet is bustling with YouTube laden blogs has acted as a safety net while I turn my interests into things like scrapbooking, cooking, and laying in bed being a lazy fuck.
Mystie, by nature, is a carefree type of gal. I've come to the decision that I'm not going to try and cram years of experience in my brain within the span of 3 months and that if I don't pass my CPC exam in 2 weeks that's fine -- I get a free retest next year, $1,500 debt be damned til then. I don't like stress, that's why I work a job where I sit on my ass all day with as little outside human interaction as possible with me feet propped up, my slippers on, and occasionally wrapped up in a little blankie. Again, I am a lazy fuck.
I think Christmas is lighting a fire under my ass, though. I've got the bug again and finally I want to work on the site. I've got a Thanksgiving special available but I'm passing on reviewing it because it doesn't excite me, and I'm not wasting my creative juices on things that don't excite me. I think I'll hop straight into Christmas with maybe some non-Christmas related activities toosed in the mix just to keep it real.
And speaking of keeping it real....
I'm up to an 80lb loss now.

Holy shit! Look at you, skinny-minny! Nice work!
And I agree, life is too short to spend it doing something that stresses you out all the time. It's good that you have a job where you can relax.

Wow. I am very proud of you Mystie! It seems like you have the world by the tail, despite your feet. Does your BF rub them for you? I would.
I'm amazed by your weight loss. You always had a pretty face, but now it has a nice form to it.Please tell me your secrete. Albert needs to lose weight, despite laughing at the "Biggest Losers".
Never think that your blog doesn't amount to anything. It does.It allowed me to have another cyberfriend!
Next year will better. I guarantee it, or you can fly to Vancouver and spank me.
Yours
Albert

Wow! You're looking great. I might have to ask you for some advice on exercising especially since I am spending my winter in the middle of nowhere in the snow. You look great and your cute face is even more awesome now that you've taken off some of the weight.
If you don't want to work on your blog, I can't blame you with the zillion other people doing the same. I'll still come check out my fave blog on the net, just not every few days... maybe once a week instead. I've been hiding out and being lazy as well. I haven't posted my pictures and my stories from a 6K roadtrip I took... Facebook people are screaming at me like crazy. Sometimes you just need to be lazy and take a deep breath and recollect before you can get back to the net life.
Well I'm glad you've been doing so awesomely well that you haven't been chained to your computer at home, though I do miss reading your blogs. So don't disappear totally! I won't know what to do with myself without the occasional nerd pop culture, holiday, or nostalgia trips ala Mystie.

Not that this matters much from a stranger, who reads often but rarely comments, but~ Wow, you look great! What's your secret?
And I for one, am looking forward to some Christmas-y articles.
