2015 cometh.
I spent a lovely long weekend with my sister. For Christmas, she gave me “paleo basics”, all the basic ingredients one needs to begin down the paleo cooking path. I’ve complained a lot over the years about being fat, about not eating right, about all sorts of health things, and a very large part of why that is (aside from genetics and laziness) is my lack of knowledge, and fear surrounding eating healthy. So Heather and I went into the kitchen, and created an easy, yummy, quick paleo dish - cabbage and ground beef with a tasty asian sauce. I can totally make that myself now! (This is a huge deal, trust me.)
We also sorted through my life. She encouraged me to make a list of things I want for my apartment. Unity Spiritual Center, the “church” I’ve been going to up in St Cloud, talks a lot about intentionality, about affirmations. Visualizing what you want to make it happen. (It’s, as my mom would call it, a hippie church. But my mom is a hippie, so it works out nicely.)
To that end, I shall make a list of things I want for my apartment.
1) A coffee table. (Right now, I am using an overturned laundry hamper. Real classy.)
2) A recycling bin with “self esteem” (i.e. NOT the paper bags I’m currently using.)
3) A comfy lounging chair for my balcony
4) A shower curtain.
5) A wok
6) A climby cat thing for Kanye.
Feel free to suggest other household essentials! I have a TV now, thanks to Heather and Dan’s gift of the extra one they had.
I am certain 2015 will be a good year.
