So I am going to try and do some catching up.
I always think that printing my blog would be a cool thing and worth the money because it is like a journal. I know there is a lot missing so I am going to be going back and putting stuff in. I will do some more present stuff just to try and keep with what is happening now, and put some old stuff up too and then change the date in a little while so it will be in the right order.
Since I read Heather's post about what is new in her life and I am in a purging mood I will throw some stuff out on the table. In no particular order here are some things I like or am doing or trying.
Eating better- I have been reading, mostly just glossing the surface, about different diets. I have been trying to make better choices and have done a few sugar free week challenges. I can totally tell a difference, but I am still not very good being a consistent good food eater and preparer. In fact my body has been craving healthy stuff since the holidays.
There is a lady that lives not too far from us that teaches plant based cooking classes. I went to an introductory one and am going to a more in depth one at the end of the month.
I have felt one of my biggest problems in eating healthier is skills and recipes to do it. I have felt like I am reinventing the wheel or something. So I am working on knowledge and skills.
Exercising- I am working on being consistent in exercising too. I go in big cycles. I think I burn myself out or loose focus and my determination, motivation and staying ability have a short fuse and burn hot so after not too long I quit and don't do anything for a while and then I feel junky so I start up again and then the cycle begins again. I have been trying to venture out of my comfort zone more and am really liking pilates and yoga more and more. A balanced life is one of the sites that I have liked.
Good writing and good pictures- I don't consume books like my husbands family does. I like to read though. I am again working on reading more books or listening to them at least. I am currently listening to Astonish Me. I also am a sucker for good photographs. Here are some of the blogs that I like reading lately-Meg In Progress, Scenes from the Wild, The Garlick Press, and Cassandra's ruminations. If you want to know some history, the middle two are friends and the last one is the third's daughter's blog. Anyway I enjoy them all even though I don't know any of them personally. Though Lisa and Dean at the Garlick press make Jiggy Stick, and they are my favorite lip balm, and I give the sticks and the other products as presents to people all of the time. I also really like the back story of how their buisness came to be. Not the death but making something out of a tragedy.
Day One- I saw some one using this app and it peaked my couriosity. Months later when I saw that person again I ask her what it was. It was worth the money to me. It is a journaling app. You can put pictures with your entries and it collects weather time and location information and puts that with your entry as well. I think it will do a bunch of other things as well and there are printing options for your entries, I just haven't gotten that far with it though. I have really liked it, but it has helped in my decrease of blog posts. I am hoping to fix that though!
Bracing for a change- the other thing that is always on my mind is the impending change of life that will happen when my job ends with the Crane's. I feel it inching closer and closer all of the time. The changes in both Evelyn and Roberta are more and more evident. Sometimes the thought of them not being around catches me off guard and makes me emotional.
Glen mentioned to me that I am his BFF a little while ago. (He works at a middle school. I think these things just come up.) It made me think of who my BFF's are; He is the top one but Evelyn and Roberta are probably right behind him. It's hard to watch loved ones age and move out of this life.
Another thing that adds to this impending change is my brother's ten week basic training. My brother, Jed, just left on for basic training in Georgia because he has joined the National Guard. I am praying that Evelyn and Roberta stay around those weeks, until he can return.
So here are a few things that are not so much new but a part of my life, incase anyone is interested.
