Goal #1

Today I read an article on MSN about setting short term goals. Women tried doing one thing different everday for a month and it stuck. It seems a lot more logical to me than "I'm going to go to the gym every day for an hour." Just a simple little change in their every day life made big changes in the end. I need a change, things aren't as super as they could be. Every few days I will make a new goal. A little something to add or take away from my daily routine.

Goal #1
do 10 push ups and 20 crunches every day

Doesn't seem too hard. Takes two minutes of out my day. I can handle it. Who knows, it may lead to bigger improvements.

To Yearn For....

An article I read told me one way to be more creative is to make lists. I feel like I have lost my creativity. I need to hone it back in. Back in the high school days I was too creative for my own good. Now I'm just the same as everyone else, boring.

want: have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for

to keep my plants a live
to be healthy
to not smoke
to craft every day
to be able to shop at farmer's markets year round

to travel
a long happy life

Thundering Art

There is just something about the bad weather that makes me feel creative. Now the question, do I sew baby clothes (for a baby who isn't mine), or do I make cards? I haven't done either in so long. Oh, and I have new colour magazines.

Cards it is.

And once I find my camera cord I'll post some pictures =)

Doctors, Lost Doggies, and Chest X-Rays

All throughout the night: coughing, major horrible chest pain

6.30 am: wake up choking on myself. wake up boyfriend. boyfriend gets me cough drop and water. boyfriend says "you sound like you have bronchitis." I say "i hate doctors, but I need to go, i hurt."

7.00 am: drift off into sleep. boyfriend is still awake

7.30 am: sleeping, dreaming. i dreamt that we were driving through sardine canyon, but weren't able to make it. the snow was so bad. so we walked. really pretty sights even though we were walking through the rain and snow. doggy ran off on his own. next i remember being in a park and the doggy came back! we thought he was lost forever, but he followed us somehow. then there was a creeper at the park. boyfriend and i made friends with him. my old boss came to the park with some children and didn't like the creeper.

8.01 am: alarm goes off and my dream ends. get dressed. go to instacare.

9.30 am: after various nebulizers and chest x-rays i find out i have bronchitis

10.00 am: get multiple prescriptions for steroids, inhaler and cough syrup.

10.30 am: get home, eat a bagel and lay in bed.

What a morning. I was fully intending on this being a productive day, but not anymore. Damn diseases. Damn girls at work having bronchitis. Damn her mom for not wanting her to have antibiotics. Now I'm sick.

Off to bed my lovelies.....

Dubble Bubble

Today began my 40 hours of work in three days. 8-11. Tomorrow 8-3.30. Monday 7-11. Ok, so maybe not completely 40 hours, but close enough. Oh well, gotta make those dollars.

I played a lot of games at work while it rained today. Made me think of all those times I'd bug my little brother to play games with me when it was shitty weather. I kinda miss home, sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I love my little house, and I'd love to have my own house with a hubby and a baby and a puppy, but there are times I miss the coziness and familiarity of my parents' basement.

Did I just say I wanted a baby? Sick...

7 is creeping up fast. Figured I should post something though. Maybe if I make it a point to write at least once a day it'll stick.

A Blog?

So apparently I'm going to have a blog. Pretty neato-speedo.

What a normal day today was. Started this, messed around on fb (that life-sucker), went shopping and spent way more than I intended, cleaned up a bit. I decided I wanted new nailpolish at the store, so naturally I tried it on. Josh wanted to try it on too, pretty cute. He got pretty creative with the colours.

We bought some seeds that we'll start soon. I found a recipe in my Food Network magazine for bread that I intend to make. Shredded carrots, dried pineapple, walnuts and cream cheese glaze. mmm.... If I can figure out how to post pictures on this new fangled website I'll put it up =)
