MY YEAR

Hello, my name is Bethany and I'm a 30 year old adult-child.

                                                          This was my Facebook photo for a good long while.


Like many in my generation, I eat what I feel like, I have a short attention span and a short memory, and I quote Hyperbole and a Half
                                                                   Borrowed from hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com
                                                                                                     And mean it.

Worse than most in my generation, I dress like holes and deodorant stains are high fashion, I've been a temp for the same company for 4 years, and I can't remember the last time I actually combed my hair. No, really.
So, I guess it's probably about time I grew up. I've decided to take each month this year and focus on one aspect in my process. Here is the schedule:

May - Food and drink
"But if I feel like a candy bar, obviously that is my body telling me I need one, right?"

June- Exercise 
"Getting on an elliptical once a week to have a place to read my book totally counts."

July- Skin and Makeup
"Wait, I should be washing my face everyday? "

August- Hair 
"But my hair is curly. You can hardly see all the split ends. "

September- Health
"Hey, my job doesn't pay for health insurance. Checkups are over-rated!"

October- Style
"So, no on the deodorant stains then?"

November- Teeth and Speech
"I could save for invisalign but that daily Americano is so tasty!"

December- Career/Finance
"So you're saying it's not a good thing...to be a temp for 4 years...that's what your saying?"

January- Posture and Body Language
"Surely people will see past my hunched shoulders and no eye contact to see the truly awesome person I am inside, right?"

February- Relationships and Community
"Hey, but I tried that whole online dating thing, which worked great for me! (If you can't read the sarcasm, check out my other blog, Drunk and Dateless)"

March- Literature and Hobbies
"Yay! More things to distract me from my workout!"

April-  World
"I learn everything I need to know from Yahoo News."
