Oh My Gosh....

It's another goal!!!

Today is no sweets and I'm going to walk for at least 15 minutes.

Dun Dunt Dunnnnn!

Hangover Saturday

Went to the party as a gypsy.

Had a great time.

Drank.

Had some pie.

Drank some more.

Had some chicken.

Drank some more.

Went home and woke up with a hangover.

But I had class so I couldn't stay in bed...

Our class was moved to a downstairs room - which echoed.

Really bad.

There were a lot of loud people organizing an art show.

Really loud.

In a room that echoed.

And I had a hangover.

Ow.

It's Halloween!

We're going to a party and I've decided to go as a lush!

I was going to go as a Ninja but I couldn't find a pair of silky black men's PJ's.

You'd think that'd be a fairly easy item to find.

At least I thought so.

You know, hop down to Target or TJ Maxx, buy a pair for 20 or 30 dollars on clearance. Take about an hour to go, find the PJ's, and get home. Quick, easy, instant Ninja outfit.

Oh. Wait.

I don't live in America.

There isn't a Target or TJ Maxx.

There are discount stores, but they seem to only have cotton Grampa PJ's.

Well at least at Lu Lu's.

And there was only a choice of about 10 in the same style but in varying shades of blue.

Since the sales guy seem confused when I asked for PJ's, I asked for sleeping clothes, then I asked for bed clothes. He finally got it then.

I guess men here mostly sleep in the nude (not a good visual).

After Lu Lu's we went to the mall, it's a big mall. You can walk at least 3.5 miles without doubling back (I clocked it) that should give me enough choices and I should be able to find some there.

Nope.

Well yes but, it turns out if I wanted black silky PJ's they would actually have to be silk. And I really didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a halloween costume.

So I'm going to the party as a lush.

All I need are my comfy PJ's, my oversized robe and a bottle of whiskey. I'm going to be an expensive lush too, cause my whiskey is single malt.

America is a great country.

You can get anything.

Easily.

Say it with me people...America!


================================


Update on the costume...


I ended up as a gypsy!  It's a little scary that I have everything I need in my wardrobe to dress as a gypsy...must be in the blood!

Friday Morning

Ohhhh the bed, the down comforter, sleeping in...

Wallowing.

Bliss.

Morning coffee...

Sublime.

Goals Part Deux

Well I didn't have any sweets yesterday. 

Hmmm "They" could be on to something when "They" say if you write down your goals you're more likely to meet them.  Just Google "How to meet goals" and you'll get a whole list of how to meet them.  Lots of experts out there.

Maybe I should write a goal to win the lottery, the big one, a hundred million dollar one, do you think it will come true? 

Oh, wait a minute, that's the Secret - not a goal.

Anyhoo...I'm going to set another goal today. 

No sweets.

Yes I know - same goal.

But if I can keep this up, little bit, little bit, little bit, I'll start adding more goals to my list.

And one day maybe I'll "gasp", maybe I'll excercise...

Dun dunt Duuunnnnn (cheesey music noise).

Middle Eastern Friday (aka Thursday)

I love Thursdays.

I love them for two reasons.

1.  I can wear jeans to work.

If I could wear jeans to work everyday my mornings would be so much easier and my days so much more comfortable.

And

2.  Tomorrow is FRIDAY.

And as everyone knows Friday mornings are for wallowing in the most comfortable bed in the world.

My bed.

Knowing that I don't have to be anywhere or do anything unless I want to, it's bliss.

 I can even stay in bed ALL day.

Wallowing.

Possibly napping.

I rarely nap.  But I could if I wanted to, on a Friday.

Nice.

Goals

I have a goal...

It's similar to a dream, but not.

I have a goal.

I'm no longer going to say "I want to lose XX pounds".  I'm just going to try to break it down to the simplest of goals.

I'm going to try to not eat sweets. 

Today.

Because trying not to eat sweets forever isn't going to work, neither is stopping for 6 months or 6 days.  So we're just hitting for today.

For some reason during Lent I can give them up for 6 solid weeks.  Any other time - it's a no go.  So for today, just today, no sweets.  No biscotti with my coffee, no chocolate with my wine.  No pudding after dinner. 

Just say NO!

Now "they"  and you know who "they" are... say that you have a better chance of attaining a goal if you write it down.

I'll let you know how that works out.

Tomorrow.

I have a DREAM America!

Oh, sorry - carried away there, what I mean is;

I have a GOAL America!
