Living a More Productive Life

Whenever I make Goals for the New year I like to have a theme to go with it. This year I have Chosen Living a More Productive Life.
The talk "Reflections on a Consecrated Life" by D. Todd Christofferson Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in the October 2010 General Conference. Found Here: http://lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/reflections-on-a-consecrated-life?lang=eng
Has been coming to my mind for a while now, and I feel like I need to change the way I am spending my time. This quote really slapped me in the face, and I feel like I need to make a change.

“Every day, every hour, every minute of your span of mortal years must sometime be accounted for. And it is in this life that you walk by faith and prove yourself able to choose good over evil, right over wrong, enduring happiness over mere amusement. And your eternal reward will be according to your choosing."

So with that in mind here are my goals for 2012:

• Go to Bed at 10pm



• Wake up with Brian and Read Scriptures as a Couple



• Exercise 3 Times per Week



• Have an Attitude of Gratitude, continued from last years Goals, (by Keeping Thank You Cards and Stamps in my Purse so I make sure I don't forget to Show my Gratitude to People)



• Be more "Jen Like" (Jen is a girl I work with and is seriously the nicest person I know, like she never says a bad word about anyone, and she isn't a sassy pants, and she never suffers from word-vomit, you know when you say stuff before you can put it through your filter.)



• Run a 5K (No Walking)



• Have a More Consistent Schedule for Andrew

So those are my goals, I feel like I can achieve them, but at the same time it will force me to learn and grow as a person.Wish Me Luck!

What are your Goals for 2012?

It's Laminated

At work the girls and I were recalling this episode on F.R.I.E.N.D.S. where they "The List" of Celebrities that it would be OK to kiss or ... even if they were in a relationship.

That conversation spawned a similar thing. We wondered who would be on our Kiss list if it was of Top Ten Disney Male Characters (and we were a cartoon too of course)

so after much anticipation, in no particular order here is my

Disney Kiss List:

• Hercules (Hercules)
  He is such a nice boy with fun and loving parents. It also doesn’t hurt that he has a Handsome face behind those rippling pectorals!
  
• General Shang (Mulan)
  He is so tough, can sing, and is sweet when you get to know him. Oh and he is the first Asian Man I have ever been attracted to.
  
• Tarzan (Tarzan)
  He wears a loin cloth, is ripped, and can slide down trees and swing on vines like its nothing. I usually don’t like dreadlocks, but somehow they work on him!
  
• The Beast (Beauty and the Beast)
  Let me be VERY CLEAR when I say “BEAST” I do NOT mean the sissy man he turns into at the end. I am pretty sure I could beat him up.
  
• John Smith (Pocahontas)
  Great Hair, nice body, he is open minded, and has Mel Gibson’s voice, what’s not to love?!
  
• Prince Eric (Little Mermaid)
  He is handsome, adventurous, loves dogs, and has a great laugh/smile
  
• Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty)
  He has awesome fashion sense (hello, I love his hat w/feather and cape) And he fights a freaking dragon, No other Prince has to fight anything that scary! (except for Aladdin but he is not a prince)
  
• Shrek (Shrek)
  I know he is boisterous and uncouth but that is all part of his charm. Plus I think he is kinda handsome in a very ogre-y way.
  
• Prince Charming (Cinderella)
  I love that he can dance, and that he will search high and low for his gal. Plus who doesn’t love a man in uniform? (He almost didn’t make my list because I think he could have narrowed down the girls he was trying the shoe on to only blondes under the age of 30. Or maybe under 180 lbs, or possibly by shoe size. Why make fat girls with big feet try on that stupid skinny girl shoe? Also I question his masculinity because he can’t seem to remember anything about Cinderella other than her shoes)
  
• Aladdin (Aladdin)
  I know that even if we lost everything and had to live on the streets he could support us. Plus he has a lovely vest and a cute pet Monkey! (not to mention the genie friend)
  
  * Honorable Mention *
  
• Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) He is very good looking, strong, he hunts, is the life of the party, and even sings! But alas, he has all those things going for him, but he is covered with hair and he chooses to be a jerk. A lot of girls are attracted to men that treat them like crap so I don’t think Gaston is ever lonely.
