It's Monday morning. The weather outside is so spectacular that I am actually sitting on my back porch with a cup of delicious hazelnut coffee and this Mac in my Lap. This is complete bliss. Honestly this weekend has been kinda crazy that it's nice that I can literally just sit out here, blog and enjoy the wind. So lets see...nothing happened on Friday really except hanging out with Nick and Christine but Saturday was pretty fun. I had to work in the morning but right after that Christine and I went to On the Boarder for a super expensive but ridiculously fun lunch. Let me tell you, they keep serving beer in bigger cups. FYI. We talked about a lot of awesome things and just enjoyed each other's company. Yesterday, I ran 3 miles in my best time yet! Cassie had mentioned to me that she was doing the Cooper Bridge Run and it sounds so exciting but I don't know if I'm quite ready for that just yet. I do want to find a run that I am passionate about and I want to keep pushing myself. I've noticed that one of my favorite things to do is compete against myself. Not in a bad way, but always try to top myself off. It keeps me on my toes for new challenges and honestly, everything I've ever attempted to do and succeeded makes me feel great. This is why I am also very confused as to what to do for lent. WHAT SHOULD I GIVE UP?! Last year, a few of you will remember that I gave up caffeine, cussing and facebook. I gave up caffeine because it did not help with my dysautonomia at all. I gave up cussing cause I did it a hell of a lot. Facebook I just always give up because it is easy and acually a lot of fun. I always strive to give up something that I've noticed I do too much or for the wrong reasons. I want to give up meat, but I honestly don't really want to do that. I am totally for vegetarians and I envy them for what they do because it is a wonderful thing but I haven't felt the calling to become one or anything along those lines. I do eat tons of organic things as often as I can but maybe I can try, instead of give up, bring on a new habit? It takes 21 days to break a habit. Maybe I can start eating more vegetables because all of you know how horrible of a relationship I have with veggies. I love salads but there's just something about eating vegetables that I do not enjoy. I wish I could enjoy them more. I also thought about giving up texting but that's usually the only way I communicate with certain people and I don't wanna cut them out of my life for lent so that's not going to work either I don' think. A friend of mine was telling me that she's giving up complaining for lent. It sounds unrealistic but I seem to fancy the idea. Another idea I have is to not buy anything for myself all of lent. That means no shopping sprees at Target or anything. No new seasons or songs from itunes. No new running shorts or anything! Minus the essentials like shampoo or tampons. F'real. I also thought about not going out to eat, but then where would Showmars fall in that? Sometimes I work a full shift, and that's the only food around...would Caribou count? Yoforia certainly would... Then Eli's birthday is coming up, we always go out for his birthday. This is where all of you come in. This year I am asking for your help. Betty last year was the one that said that maybe cussing could be what I gave up and it was a great idea. You guys know me better than I like to admit. So please, tell me what you think!!
PS: Harry Potter has been amazing. I am half way done with the last book!!!
Whatever you do, please don't give up facebook or texting. I love you too much!
ReplyDeletei like the whole not buying something for yourself thing. and who says that doesn't mean you can't come with me to target?? :) but after reading that, i thought about doing that for myself, even though i decided already to give up sweets. now i need to choose! and eat more veggies, they're delish!
