The one unfortunate thing about this upcoming year is that it will be ‘unlucky 13’. Twelve was such a simple word, one-syllable.. and now we move into the double syllables again, and for the rest of the millennium.

Oh well. We have one more day (tomorrow) to prep for the fast approaching change. I, like many others, am actually very optimistic for 2013. I’ve been making wonderful progress in my life and I am eager to make amazing steps in my life.

I started my new years resolution sometime last week, and I have identified certain bad habits that are preventing me from moving forward in leaps and bounds. The big trick to changing your bad habits is to replace them with a different kids of habit. Something simple. Then one you master that you can add other habits.

My list of desired outcomes for my ‘new’ habits is long, but I have faith that this year I will be able to adjust the healthier habits for my life. The top one is health- I’ve been eating larger sized portions which has been a problem. Instead I’ve been tracking my water intake and my goal is to ramp up to the recommended 64 oz.

Anyway, one of the habits I intend to replace is the constant reading of ‘reddit’. It has become a huge time spender, and there are so many other things I can do to improve my life. I won’t be stopping cold turkey, but instead using that and ‘pinterest’ as they are intended… timed rewards for the completion of other tasks.

Now to get another task done so I can partake in a ’10 min pinterest’ reward. = )

I used to use a program called Storyboard Quick 6. Unfortunately, the copy I have only works on my old computer.

So I’m on the lookout for a new application that does what I want. Such apps are just too expensive.

Ideally it would be great to have an app for my mac that allows me to have a library of images of people and quickly be able to import them into apps like Keynote or Pages. THAT would be ideal. Yet, most apps are too cumbersome for such things. I’ll figure it out eventually.. Maybe I’ll just have to use google image search for such drawings. Or use the old storyboard app to take screenshots of the characters I need and import them onto my new mac. Hmm..
