My name is Ashley, and I'm a flake.
Copious amounts of stress will be lifted from my life if I can master this months resolution. I have a nasty little habit of making plans without really committing to them. If you are a close friend, or even an acquaintance, I've probably made plans with you and then flaked on you.
It's not that I mean to be a flaky friend. It's just with the combination of my inability to say no to social events and my contradicting home-body persona, the end result, more often than not, is a cancellation. I let my excitement get the better of me and agree to every.plan.ever. In the moment, I want to do it. I want to do it all! But fast forward a week, a day, or sometimes even an hour, and my excitement has drained. Next thing I know I'm dialing and praying for voicemail to inform the victim of my reckless planning habits that I can't* go out.
It's becoming tiresome for me, and I'm sure annoying for my friends, so this month I will learn how to know what I mean, and mean what I say. I won't let my enthusiasm for future events sway me if I'm not 100% sure it sounds better than staying in bed and watching Bethenny, Newlyweds (remember Nick and Jessica?!), Jersey Shore, or any other reality TV on DVD I own. I will commit to keeping plans instead of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Stay tuned.. -a.

Don't feel too bad. It's part of life to be that way sometimes.
