My Relationship Resolution Is To...

I have not made any New Year's resolutions. I have already dropped close to 20 pounds, so forget the diet and exercising stuff. What I've been doing, I will continue to do. Go to my boot camp.

I have committed to valuing my time with my family and friends more even before the 2010 arrived because fam and friends are super important to the quality of ones life, sooooo I don't have to do anything there.

My walk with Christ has never been closer, soooo there is no need to resolve to go to church more and pray more because I've been pretty vigilant. But errr uhhh, I could pray on my knees more come to think of it. :)

I say all that because I didn't promise to do anything to improve my behavior, my weight, my education -- any of that before the new year arrived.

After it was here though, I did think about how I need to make a major improvement in my relationship.

Here's the story. Me and my beau didn't eat the traditional New Year's Day dinner -- black-eyed peas and collard greens and pork because I didn't cook. Nope, I didn't. I thought about it for a second and then it just faded away. My plan, however, was to either to go to my mother's or my sister's for that traditional meal.

After I thought about it, I really should have prepared my very own Thanksgiving Day meal because I knew that my beau was gonna come. Yea, he had mentioned he wanted to go somewhere to watch the Rose Bowl, but heck we still needed to eat when we got back even if we grabbed a bite while out.

I am carrying baggage with the whole cooking thing. My efforts were less than appreciated in a previous relationship and I just ain't putting forth the effort I should be putting forth. PERIOD.

I've carried over the feelings I have for not being appreciated for preparing a meal into a new relationship. And the bad thing is, the new guy don't even know I'm suffering from I WASN'T APPRECIATED FOR COOKING SYNDROME. LOLOLOL

Shoot, I like trying new recipes. I like serving meals in a French Maid outfit :) I like to go all out, but I haven't. Sooooo I am making a relationship resolution.

I am going to cook more and I am also going to shed the baggage of not being appreciated in the past. It's really ridiculous!
