Flip Flops Are For Feet Not Feelings

I tend to be a flip-flopper. So after I acknowledged the omens that 2010 has sent my way in my last post I went ahead and flipped…

Against my better judgment I went ahead and decided to give 2010 a little test. I was on my way to church and I was having some trouble. I had made a bad wardrobe decision, I was hungry, tired and I was late. As I pulled into the parking lot it didn’t look good. I could see there were no spots and my only option would be to park far away from the door which would be the complete opposite of an awesome parking spot. So I went ahead threw out a dare—if it still was going to be a good year then I needed a sign, I needed a killer spot. And I wasn’t about to help by applying “the secret” and so I drove down one isle and nothing, just as I had thought. And then I drove down the second and nothing and then I got near the door and the sidewalk and what do you know…there was a spot, right in front, and just for me. Needless to say I felt like a sheepish idiot. But the good news is I guess I can’t fight it, because it turns out it IS going to be a good year and I thought it was only fair to be honest and share the update.

2010 Omens

So it is 2010. And I feel pretty good about it and not just because I was ready for 2009 to get out of my face. It is just that I really think that 2010 is going to be an exceptionally awesome year. I just feel it.

Everyone has been making fun of me but the reason I know that it is going to be such a great year is because I keep scoring the absolute best parking spots. It feels like everywhere I go I have a reserved spot, you know, right in front which in turn makes me feel like a VIP, yeah even at Ross. And it is not just when I drive. It is occurring every time I am in a car, even if the driver happens to think it is going to be a mediocre year. And without fail we pull in and I say, “yeah, it is going to be a great year.”

I don’t know if it is all the excitement from the parking spots but here are a few things I plan to tackle this year:

• Incorporate “yep” and “you bet” into my regular vocabulary.



• Break-up with high fructose corn syrup and his processed friends, but this doesn’t mean I won’t say hi if we run into each other at a party every now and again.



• Cut back on the whirling.



• Have a summer fling with an RV and America.

Here’s to a great and exciting 2010.
