what's today again?
Oh my goodness, its been such a terribly long. long week. I am beat. I know I want to get back on track to the good life I am headed in, but right now really- I'm still in a daze of couch potating. Best way to begin snapping out of my funk is to get back to what I've started in making Every Monday Matter. I don't think anyone has been reading these, I've really been trying to dump it all to Face book. What matters more is that I am doing and reflecting on the little accomplishments I can make in living and providing a better life. Sadly, I will tell you that I have already caved everyday of my v-day exhausting week and ate the one item I thought I could live without. Fries! What was I thinking? I know they aren't all too good for me, but they can't really be all that bad either. it is a vegetable, and the best way to get kids to start eating veggies too. Whatever, I'll just stick with my abnormally large salads. The next monday is about getting rid of junk mail. I do this already by shredding it all as soon as I walk back into my apartment. We used to keep a big box of these to shred on a later day, but that eventually took three days of shredding out of my life. Apparently, there is more I can do to prevent it from even being sent:
