New year, new goals.

31 Jan

Welcome to the re-launch of SurroundedByGrass. This is the first blog post of the new and (hopefully) improved site.  What’s improved about it? I made the theme. Yeah. That’s about it. There are new pages.. and some pages have gone (not that anyone would notice) and the code isn’t valid. (As opposed to it being valid because I was using other peoples themes ^.^)

So, here goes, my first post that hopfully makes sense;

I’ve never really done the whole “New years resolution” thing, and I don’t really want to start, because I hate to fail myself, even though I seem to do it a lot (School work, cleaning my house, buying gifts.. argh).

However, this year there are a number of things that I not only want to do, but that need to be done (well OK, only some need to be done). And seeing as it’s 2010, I’m setting myself a list of 10 things I want / need to do before the year is out.

  1. Get my National Certificate in Agriculture Level 21. I’ve had the books since about last Sept / Oct, but because my co-worker left, it’s been tough on the farm and there hasn’t been time to learn anything because we are all too busy doing things that need to be done. It should only take 6months. And after that I can start Level 3.
  2. Gain the English credits I need to get University Entrance2. Even if I continue with farming, I don’t need UE to get a DipAg, but I would still like the choice to go to Uni if I want. I pretty much have all the credits for level 2, except English. I think need more credits at Level3, but I think I’ll stick to this “Goal” first.
  3. Go traveling to somewhere I’ve never been before. I would love to visit family I’ve never meet before up in Blenheim, in saying that, I’d love to visit my aunt in Stewart Island. It’s a really beautiful place. As is every where in NZ. I can’t decide where I want to go. But I know I want to travel.
  4. Get traffic on my website. This is a pretty stupid goal I guess. But I would love to make some “Internet friends”. Which means getting traffic.3. I’m not sure how to achieve this, but I’ll figure it out. I just want at lest one comment on every post. is one comment to much to ask? I just want someone to talk too. :tear:
  5. Save $1000+. I think everyone wants to save. And it’s a bit of a struggle atm, but I’m slowly.. saving.. something. It’s not really for anything but my trip I intend on taking. I have a seperate savings account for things like car repairs and other things that may come up.
  6. Decide what I want to be doing in ten years. Seriously. Do I want to be farming still? Or do I want to be a teacher?4. Perhaps I want to be a mother in ten years? Make a goal of what I want to do. Make plans.
  7. Have a romantic night with Jared. Yes. I’m serious. This is a goal for 2010. It can be achieved if we stay at my mums house. She will leave us alone and let me cook dinner etc. And Jareds parents5 will let him stay at my mums house. I’d like to cook dinner, watch a movie or 2, and then just.. you know.. Haha. It’s a girl thing OK?
  8. Do a Defensive Driving course. Not only will it knock 6 months off my Restricted License, but it will teach me things about.. driving defensively. Which I really need to learn. I suck at driving. :/
  9. Organize my money. Stick to a budget. No more taking money out of my savings, no more buying junk food, nothing. Leave money where it is, and spend only what I can afford. This will be tough. But I plan on starting next week because I didn’t get a whole pay this week. :@
  10. Stop being walked over. I am to nice a person IRL. I get walked over so much, I’m easily used. I’m sick of it. I think my boyfriend is too. My boss has even pointed it out. I need to stop being such a push over. And stand up for myself.
  1. PDF [↩]
  2. UE [↩]
  3. I guess?? [↩]
  4. Hence wanting to get UE [↩]
  5. Unless they read this.. lol [↩]

A love letter.

06 Jan

I’ve started and deleted this post so many times it’s not funny. I want to say how much I love my boyfriend. But I can’t write a letter because everything sounds so silly. I want to describe what the word love means, but everything sounds so cheesy and cliche.

He’ll most likely never read this. But I want to get my feelings out. Tell the whole world. Yet again, cheesy.

Jared, when I say “I love you”, those three little words, here is what I’m trying to say;

I like how you look, your voice, your accent, your clothes, your hair, and your cute little smile.

I like the way you tease me, even if sometimes I take it to seriously.

I like the way you hold me when I take your teasing to seriously and apologize.

I like how I can cry in front of you and hold me tight, and try to rub my tears away, hold your face close to mine and kiss me.

I like how you are smart, not because you’ll “Bring in the bacon” like my dad says. But because it’s part of who you are. And without it, you’d be like the other boys.

I like how you changed me from how I was when we first spoke online. If it wasn’t for you, I would have kids and be smoking weed / drinking every night by now.

I like how you are honest with me. In every aspect from our relationship, to when I tired to be a “Designer”, to the fact I really should be finding a new job.

I like how you make fun of my “love handles”. Even though I don’t like them. For some reason, it entertains me.

I like how comfortable I feel around you, and how I don’t have to put on some fake mask and pretend to be who I’m not.

I’m glad that you wouldn’t mind if i got a breast reduction.

I’m happy you ate my cheese sauce with maccaroni. (As opposed to mac and cheese).

I like that I can tell that you love me.

I love how you concentrate on me *In bed* until I’m way to sensitive to touch.

I love how good you are in bed.

I love how you kiss me, and tell me that you love me, in bed.

And Jared. Those are just some of the reasons I love you. So next time I say “I love you” remember why. ^.^
