I changed the title, it will likely change again. It is fitting for me!  I change paint colors in my house all the time, I change the way drawers and linen closets are arranged almost weekly and I often change the way my clothes hang in the closet. Do I arrange by color, length of clothes, which clothes are worn more frequently?Decisions, decisions!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am certainly not a perfectionist and this personality trait of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;loving change&lt;/span&gt; is not just because I am in "nesting mode",  I just like change. I am always searching for why I like change.  Maybe it will come to me. So, as previously mentioned in my first blog, here is a list of "Gung-Ho's" (dreams I get eager about ) that never came to fruition:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Opening my own clothing consignment shop with high-end clothes......named Olive! (That still may happen, lets just get Kevin out of school first)&lt;br /&gt;2) Writing articles for an OT magazine to make a little extra dough&lt;br /&gt;3) Teaching a course on "How to play with your infant" at the Crisis Pregnancy Center (on my behalf, they dropped the ball on getting this class set up).&lt;br /&gt;4) Continuing to take adult ballet, hip-hop and yoga classes.&lt;br /&gt;5) Becoming a professional dog-walker (although I think I may scratch this from my list)&lt;br /&gt;6) Getting fresh, organic milk delivered to my door&lt;br /&gt;7) Joining a vegetable co-op&lt;br /&gt;8) Making my own stationery and selling it at a cute little stationery shop&lt;br /&gt;9) Making a homemade peach pie during the summer&lt;br /&gt;10) Printing off digital pictures from the past 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That should do it for now. That list of 10 is enough to make one feel a little blue about not following her dreams, so next time I shall talk about dreams that do come to fruition!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2211425265866103365-2135775937493985514?l=brandanclifford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandanclifford.blogspot.com/feeds/2135775937493985514/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2211425265866103365&amp;postID=2135775937493985514' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2211425265866103365/posts/default/2135775937493985514'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2211425265866103365/posts/default/2135775937493985514'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandanclifford.blogspot.com/2007/08/county-fair-and-gung-hos.html' title='County Fair and Gung-Ho&apos;s'/><author><name>Brandi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12434613551212568454</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2211425265866103365.post-5434917539594782233</id><published>2007-08-19T10:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-19T10:56:12.859-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Just needed a push</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;to get myself &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;bloggin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;' so thank you Karen!  I was too intimidated by My Space and too addicted to checking e-mail fourteen times a day, so this seemed like a good compromise.  Maybe no one will read it anyway.  I used to always keep a journal, but it was sometimes too painful to go back and read the angst entries, so keeping a journal that others can read is sure to keep me on my toes. This may be one of those things that I get gung-ho about initially, but wonder if I'll keep it up. Oh good idea for another blog.......things I get gung-ho about and don't keep up with.  Too be continued when I feel like outing myself. Not today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2211425265866103365-5434917539594782233?l=brandanclifford.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://brandanclifford.blogspot.com/feeds/5434917539594782233/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2211425265866103365&amp;postID=5434917539594782233' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2211425265866103365/posts/default/5434917539594782233'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2211425265866103365/posts/default/5434917539594782233'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandanclifford.blogspot.com/2007/08/just-needed-push.html' title='Just needed a push'/><author><name>Brandi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12434613551212568454</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
