Who is Mixy Fandino

One of the most amazing names I have ever heard! A co-worker of mine (thanks Sara) introduced me to this name and I love the way it sounds when I say it. It puts a smile on my face.

Belonging to an accountant that works for a vendor we use in the UK, Mixy Fandino immediately made me imagine what this woman would look, act, talk, be like! I started putting on an English accent saying things like, "Hello, I'm Mixy Fandino and I'm an accountant by day and trapeze artist by night" or "Hello there, my name's Mixy Fandino and I enjoy a good swim in the English Channel and my farts smell like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies."

It really is one of the most lovely names I've ever heard. I bet her parents really gave themselves a good pat on the back after coming up with it. And they probably called her "MF" when she was in trouble instead of saying her full name. How could anyone ever be angry at innocent child named Mixy Fandino?

1) Mixy Fandino is going on my list of character names
2) Mixy Fandino will become a new phrase for me to say instead of "that's really cool"
3) Mixy Fandino might possibly be the first and middle name of my first born - if I ever decide to have children
4) Mixy Fandino should run for Prime Minister of the UK as she would win on name likeability alone
5) Mixy Fandino - who are you?!

What's the most interesting name you have ever heard of?

It's been awhile

My last post was a little while back. I've been procrastinating, distracted and recently went through a break-up, causing my mind to not want to do anything but everything all at the same time.

My last posting talked about New Year's Resolutions and what better time than now to get a fresh start on things. Here are a few things to start doing RIGHT now...

1) I promise myself be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind. (part of the Optimist's Creed that I have posted to my bathroom mirror)

2) To be grateful everyday.

3) To know I have a Purpose

4) To celebrate my friends and family

5) To know I will be the apple of someone's eye someday

6) To realize how much I mean to my friends and family

7) To use my gift everyday - write, use that PURPOSE

8) To treat my body well, it's the only one I have but also enjoy life

9) To be adventurous - don't hold back

10) To trust myself, my gut, my heart

Okay - in my last post I talked about "vague lists." I feel this isn't vague - it's realistic. More realistic than saying "I will work out 5 times a week." I've been saying stuff like that for ages now. I don't think I will ever be a gym rat, but in the last 2 years I have gone to the gym more than the previous 28 years combined - so I'm doing better... I just get off track sometimes with things like that.

But my 10 Resolutions above CAN and WILL be accomplished - I already try to live this way, just need to consistently believe and do this, everyday.

No excuses. No regrets.
