Marshmallow strawberries are awesome and all, but now I am wondering whether we should do jello-shot filled strawberries with toasted marshmallow fluff...

 

Yesssssss, maybe a boozy chocolate martini jello-shot filled strawberry?  Or a boozy shortcake type shot?

Oh hey there crazy runner chick

1x week booze: 1/1 - had a radler while watching the hawks game, so no more booze for me until next week [really shouldn't be an issue]

Yooooo~

yo yo yo baby yo!

a little rearranging would make this more interesting

- renew insurance

- get new passport in different name

- get wrigley's nails done

- get date with the vet

 

all sent blindly with no knowledge of anything going on in your world...

Hahaha The vets are all women, alas.

I like you challenge a lot. I too struggle with over complication. It is a strange catch-22 for me, because if it isn't complicated I can't get into it-yet if it isn't complicated at all I hate it. Though I tend to live in constant contradictions. I'll be cheering you on, and I wish the best for you in this challenge.

Hi and thanks!

Putting off nails until tomorrow as I'm meeting up with a friend to go watch the hawks game, and a nap needs to be had.

Did get through some of my email. but didn't really dedicate time to it like I should have, so that's going back on the list.

Task list for tomorrow:

* One hour going through emails

* email Venkata for an estimate of India RE costs

* find CRF for cloud project

* Set OoO/change of email on LN

* Get nails done

* pay People bill

* pay med bills

Got home insurance taken care of today, though, hooray.  Note to y'all don't let it accidentally lapse even if you thought your escrow was paying it and they're not.

I am so impressed with everything you've done while in recovery!  Amazing. 

Also, please send me some of those marshmallow strawberries at the end of the challenge.

Yours in DOMSyness,

maigrey

Task list for tomorrow:

X find out what's needed to renew passport
X take care of home insurance
* review email
X approve expense reports

* get nails done

X take wrigley to the vet

I think moderation'll help you succeeed

Hopefully!  I kept thinking of other things I wanted to do - like oooh meditate daily!  and get 8 hours of sleep! and and and

Ohai.

Heyyyy, lookin' good there, girl

Hi, I'm maigrey and I have a habit of trying to do ALL THE THINGS!!

So, for this challenge, I am going to keep it ridiculously simple.  The plan is to smash this challenge and instill some habits and then I can take on some other habits in the next challenge, and be at the top end of the curve:

In keeping with the not doing ALL THE THINGS, I'm going to work from a balanced triangle perspective:

BODY: Eat like an athlete.

1. No Sugar: eating sugar makes me feel lethargic, headachey, and makes me want to eat more sugar.  This means I'm going to suck it up and drink my coffee black.
2. No starchy/processed carbs after 10 am: This piggybacks on #1.  If I can't have sugar, I end up stuffing my face with pasta, bread, and other what have you carbs.  Some is okay, but I need to have limits on it.  This makes oatmeal, a bagel, or tamago kake gohan acceptable.
3. Once per week, I may have up to 2 alcoholic drinks outside of my home: Alcohol has been creeping back into my life.  It's not something I need to ban, but again I need limits, otherwise I will go back to using booze as a social crutch.  I'm trying to work through my social anxiety issues, and booze doesn't help with that.  Also, there's no real reason I need to drink at home; I can save that for when I'm out.

MIND: Write up task list for the next day by 7 pm

• My day goes so much better if I have a game plan.  I am not a morning person, so this really needs to be done the night before, but early enough that I don't say 'fuckit too tired, will do tomorrow', because it never gets done tomorrow.

SPIRIT: Journal or blog for 10 min a day

• I also am 500% more sane and happy when I do a mind dump on the day before I go to bed.  I have really gotten out of the habit of doing this, and it's been detrimental.

THE EVENT / TASK LIST:  There's a bunch of other stuff I need to do, that aren't daily tasks, so they're listed here.

• Konmari method my clothes
• Get passport renewed for Australia trip
• Declutter kitchen
• Deal with bills
• Deal with home insurance done! June 8, 2015
• File 'to file' pile
• create gloomy day checklist

Annnnd we're off!

i love that i now get the proper inflection for this joke

I just finished book 2 of stormlight archive, so I too now get it!

Bigm, those pictures are amazing.

I am not one of the three...

I don't understand how y'all haven't combined the two into Street Fighter Parenting...

Oh look!  A PR pixie! <3

Hey girl, heyyyy

I'm here for the poptarts.

... wait what? not here? guess I shall stay anyway.

 

Tried. Do not qualify.

Have you looked into NEXUS? [http://www.dhs.gov/comparison-chart] it gives you all the benefits of TSA pre-check, but allows Canadian citizens (and permanent residents) as well.   Only drawback is you have to do your in person interview in canada or a US border city....

mmm, mealworms.  all the protein!

Aw, sorry about your bum bum (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?).

Also, when planning daily meals, I've always found that planning in the evening (with a calendar) for the next day always worked out best for me.  I'm not a morning person, so if I don't do that, it really means I don't plan.

Are you on the way to the gym yet???

Anyway, bummer about those allergies - I Know those feels. It drives me crazy that I can only buy 10 claritins at a time (I'm a meth cook, obvi), because I inevitably run out and am completely miserable for a few days while it gets back in my system.

 

Roo - can you use generic?  I don't think you even need a membership to buy this online: http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature%E2%84%A2-AllerClear%C2%AE,-365-Tablets.product.11602332.html

Gnna have to try it. I just got Milk & cookies for the first time, and have finally found their version of cookies and cream. I have to wait until the weekend to eat it, but not gonna lie, I skimmed off about 1/2 inch last night to try it.

Did you know Target has exclusive Ben and Jerry's flavors?  including Peanut Butter Jam session  and Peanut butter world (yum).  Just gonna leave that here.

/me waits for brisket

I believe you mean creative brisket.

haikoooooooo where are yooooooooo?

Case in point, my lead who assigns all our work hit me up on communicator and asked if I was going to be able to complete all my jobs today.

"Yeah, I'll get them done"

"not what I asked, will you get them done without working over? "

"... Probably not."

"Okay, I'm giving some to Chow. "

speaking of one who has been there ... you are not your work.  It was hard to work through for me, as I had so much self-worth tied up in my job and being awesome at it.   Life is much better on the other side, where I still do good work, but having a life is my top priority.

Sorry to hear about your foot and missing the hiking.  Hope you recover fully soon!

Haikoooo where are yooooo?

Finish strong, spezzy!
