So I've come to the conclusion that I like the idea...........of a lot of things. But when it comes to actually liking something I'm not so for it. Does that sound weird? Here let me help you understand.
I always thought I wanted to live on the beach. I used to tell my mom all the time that I was going to move to Florida! Sounds great having grown up near Chicago. No cold winters and you can be at the beach 24/7....very nice. : ) Recently I've decided that while I love the idea of the beach I don't actually love the beach. Sure its beautiful and hot....but just in case you aren't aware the sun is BRUTAL!!!! I was on the beach for about 3 or 4 hours one day and I got the worst sunburn of my life. I mean my head got puffy, it killed me to wear clothes. I went like 3 days without a bra it hurt so bad. Then you got the sand. I hate and I mean absolutely hate being sandy. You get sandy, you go in the water to wash it off and then BAM you're sandy all over again. Not so much fun if you ask me!
Then we have sports. Now I like to think I'm a sports fan, I keep up with basketball, I know when the superbowls going on and whose in it (most of the time) and I know that the Blackhawks just won the Stanley Cup.....YAY CHICAGO! I always think to myself that I would like to play tennis. I mean how hard could it be smacking a ball over a net. Note to self....chasing that little yellow ball all over that court....not so much fun : ( I always think playing golf looks like something I'd like to try but when you really think about it....why in the world would you want to smack a tiny ball as hard as you can just to have to go track it down to do the same thing all over again. Now I'm not going to lie given the chance I'd still like to try playing a real game of golf but I have a feeling I will end up liking the idea of golf more than playing golf. Same goes with just about every sport I can think of.
Exercising........fun! I always think this is it I'm going to lose the weight. I'm going to wake up early and walk every morning. Then I'm going to swim a bunch of laps and do yard work. I'll be shedding the pound in no time : ) But again I think I like the idea of doing all those things more than I like doing them. Now I don't know if its just because I'm a round person but walking doesn't really appeal to me. Its like those people that go mall walking....why would I want to walk around the mall to look at stuff I can't buy? Wouldn't you rather be at home playing wii or something?
Is it just me? I have this I like the idea..... problem with just about everything. Like starting college. I love the idea. I think about the classes and what I'll do afterwards and all the clubs I want to join. It all sounds so great in my head. Then it comes time to actually do something and surprise, surprise its not as great as it was in my head. SO I like the idea of it but I don't actually like IT!
