 1.This week we talk about our holiday traditions on Totes Awesome Channel. Youtube Link 2.The last two weeks I have done a poor job of taking care of myself and my responsibilities (tidying up, buying groceries, and cooking). The first week back from Thanksgiving, I was bummed about something and self-medicated with Gossip Girl episodes. This past week I caught a bad cold and chose more lounging with books and Netflix as a form of recovery. I think I’ve indulged in my pity party long enough. It is time to get back on the horse and do things like shop for groceries and stop eating out for every single meal. 3.While I was nursing my cold, I started watching American Horror Story. I’m going through Season 1 on Netflix and it’s so good! I hear Season 2 is even better. 4.I need to get out of my funk ASAP because I have less than three weeks to read 6 books, learn 3 new Vietnamese recipes, and try my hand at 8 sewing self lessons. I’m giving up on the putting $2,000 dollars in my Roth IRA. These are some of my outstanding resolutions. I caught a video where Tim Ferriss, a proponent for goal setting, says he makes goals expecting to only achieve 60 percent of them. I think this is a healthy approach to goal setting! 5.I can’t remember the last time I have spent some quality time with Cindy. She lives in Houston and our schedules rarely align. Anyway, we have a date on the books during Christmas weekend and we’re going to the National Funeral Museum. We’re following the museum with eating bone marrow. I am stoked. This is the perfect date for us. We both enjoyed reading Stiff and had a similar date a few years ago where we dined at an allegedly haunted restaurant and then went to a Body World exhibit. 6.It finally happened. I wore two different shoes to work.  7.This week’s moments of bliss: ♥ American Horror Story ♥ pork belly ramen ♥ wonton soup ♥ pho ♥ Alan being a great caretaker during my cold ♥ couch naps with Bob ♥ abundance of free books from the library ♥ roasted tomato soup with bacon ♥ being almost done with Christmas shopping ♥ catch up chat with my sister ♥ giggling with coworkers Question: How do you self-medicate? |
