Anyway....in the midst of mentally rehashing my weekend and STILL being ticked that I don't have mammogram results(still wanting to hear only good results) and reeling from the new found information that diet pop is BAD for you.....I came to some realizations. I know you are sitting on the edge of your seat waiting to hear....so I will "try" to keep it short and to the point.
First of all....I realized I am boring. When you realize that the biggest thrill in your life is your next diet pop....it is time for a change. I also realized that since all I have talked about or thought about since Jan. 1 is lifestyle change....that it should include more than my diet. So here is what I have decided. I want to do at least one thing different each month that I either have never done before....or it has been so long since last I did it.....it will be like I have never done it before. The kicker is....I want you all to help me decide what to do. The "you all" as in....ALL you who read my blogs. I know there are at least one or two of you.
So as of now.....start giving me your suggestions for Feb. Please make your suggestions things that won't maim me, kill me, or get me arrested. I will choose from the suggestions....then do whatever it is I choose and report back in the blog. Heck....I may even invite you to come along.
Bottom line is I need a change and since at my age I have trouble coming up with new and different ideas....I am going to let you all help me out. So start giving me your Feb. ideas....and I will choose by next week. Now come on peeps...don't let me down!
Hmmmm.... did I miss the diet pop post? A few months ago I read a bunch of stuff about diet pop but alas I am still addicted. Ok - I think you should start training and plan on doing the River Run 5k with me in May.
ReplyDeleteI know about the diet pop problem. It has killed me getting off the stuff. Iced tea just doesn't do it for me.
ReplyDeleteBut enough about me.
An idea I had two years ago was to celebrate my best friend's 50th birthday by giving back to other people. She is an awesome person and there is no gift that was fitting for her. So I thought, why not make a difference in the lives of other people in honor of all that she gives. I planned to journal it and give it to her on her birthday. **Editorial note: I ended up unexpectedly pregnant and suddenly everything I thought I was going to do went by the wayside and I went into survival mode. So much for a great idea!**
But with that said, what about givinig back somehow? My thought was that it could be completely simple. Helping someone out with their groceries. Moving the neighbor's grass. you know, pay it forward kinds of things.
And since you are a writer, keeping a journal of it all would be easy for you.
Just an idea....
