The ONLY good thing about all the holiday stuff on TV….
All the Holiday Baking competitions. Christmas cookies are definitely the one thing that doesn’t get old with Holiday stuff.
It’s the main thing I look forward to every year….mostly because I love eating them.
Sooooooo…..maybe stay tuned for Holiday Cookie Baking Posts????
I wish this was a fun post…
But it’s not. I wanted to post more things yesterday, but I…had a struggle day.
Struggle Days are when the thoughts in my head I’m usually able to brush off seem to be on repeat even louder than normal.
Struggle Days are when I feel alone even though I know my friends are a phone call away.
Struggle Days are when every negative thing on the news makes it feel like there’s no hope for the world.
Struggle Days make it hard to concentrate on the things I love to do.
I had a struggle day.
And I wish I could’ve post more yesterday.
I’m okay, though. And I will post something else today.
Disneyland, as always, was fun…
Finally got to go to the new Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge area. Rode the Smuggler’s Run attraction, the one where you fly the Millennium Falcon. I got to be an Engineer (though secretly I wanted to be a Gunner) and I did…AMAZING!
However!! I left my mark on the attraction. About halfway through….one of my nails fell off…my favorite nail…the middle finger on my left hand.
Oh well. Still had fun.
And I preferred green milk to the blue milk. The blue milk was a little too sweet for me.
Anybut, the only other interesting thing that happened……….was I think there was a bomb threat in Galaxy’s Edge? When we first got there they’d evacuated the land and about 20 minutes later a police helicopter flew over the area…….I’m not sure, but it seemed like the thing Disney does when there’s a viable threat.
BUT!!! That’s a story for another day.
Also, if I learn more, I will let you know what actually happened…maybe.
Not gonna have as many posts today.
Going to Disneyland today!!
Way down under the ground…
If you need a song to jam to or dance alone in your room to, Way Down Hadestown is the one.
It’s jazzy, bouncy, and very New Orleans. The whole show is really, but this song is killer.
It got me thinking of other songs that are fun to dance to alone in your room…or at a club if you have a social life….and I realized there aren’t many from musicals even though they are made for dancing.
Maybe I’ll do a list of musical songs that would fit in clubs…and I don’t mean remixed versions…looking at you Defying Gravity.
I have some sad news…
The Papa Johns close to my house is gone. I can no longer order delivery. If I want their pizza I have to drive to a further away Papa Johns and pick it up.
WHAT’S THE POINT?!
Guess I’m gonna eat less pizza…
And for those of you who hate Papa Johns pizza…whatever! The man may be a moron, but he doesn’t own it anymore.
This has been a random food update.
I have officially seen my FIRST holiday ad.
The culprit? T.J. MAXX!!!!
And to a lesser extent, the guy from Chuck……Zachary Levi? I think that’s right.
THAT IS ALL!!
I’m very productive…
When I procrastinate. I have things I need to do before January. So, instead of doing them, I do things I’ve needed to do for…3 years?
My point is I cleaned out my closet. I went through every single piece of clothing and decided what had/needed/should’ve gone.
And let me tell you, I did some real damage. I’m pretty sure I got rid of almost 75 pieces of clothing. Some things I’ve had since high school…woof.
A lot of things were items that were the wrong size and have ALWAYS been the wrong size. Like I bought them knowing full well they were the wrong size for me, but I thought, “Hey, some day I MIGHT fit into this.”
Oh, young, naive past-me. Deep down you knewin your heart that was never going to happen.
There were also things that were falling apart, but I loved them so much I didn’t want to let them go. But I did. I let them go. With minimal tears.
Anybut, now I need to find something else to procrastinate with…
I just snapped my thumbnail in half!! Okay the FAKE nail in half, but STILL!
I was moving a chair and it snapped off…it also nearly ripped my real thumbnail off, but luckily it broke before tearing the nail. My thumb still hurts, the inner corner ripped a tiny bit, but not badly.
THE DANGERS OF FAKE NAILS!! At least, the ones that use glue.
My brain is a little trickster…
It wants be to believe that I could just start exercising and love it. Nice try.
I’ve tried to start a regular exercise routine, but every time I can’t keep going. The main reason is I think I’m one of those people who needs someone else to hold me accountable.
I don’t necessarily mean a trainer, but I mean a friend who does it with me. It would make it more fun, too.
Also, the shy, anti-social me wouldn’t be able to go to a gym anyways. I know nobody is watching and judging me…a lot, but my trickster brain would convince me to go and then constantly tell me everyone is staring and laughing at you…welcome to my life.
For those of you saying, “yOu’Re JuSt MaKiNg ExCuSeS!”
…..yeah. And?
I know me and I go through these phases where I want to start working out…but I need the accountability and the best kind that works for me is accountability from my friends.
But my friends are either too busy or too far away.
Anybut….that’s it.
