Daily Jots

That is a tricky question. If someone was to ask you right this very minute, what would you be able to truthfully tell them. To be honest, I am a very goal oriented person, so I’m always looking at what I need to accomplish next. Is this normal as it just might mean that I’m never satisfied.

What are your thoughts on the topic??

Just going through a little trivia that I have collected over the years and I have a question for you…

Do you remember what Oscar-winning actress played Janet?

What appealed most to you and what if anything would you change about the character if you could??

“Sleep affects everything from how we look and feel to how we perform. Our moods are significantly worse after a poor night’s rest, and we pack on pounds when not getting enough sleep. So how do you handle your bouts of insomnia or squeeze sleep into your crazy schedule? We asked Hollywood’s busiest women what their tricks are for getting some shut-eye.”

I don’t have any trouble falling asleep, it’s staying asleep that I have the hardest time with. And when you are suddenly awake at 3 a.m., there’s really not a lot you can do, but apparently these celebrities have a few tricks to help you drift off!

It’s time to clean out your closet of anything that doesn’t make you feel absolutely gorgeous. I just looked at mine and there are things in there that I don’t even recognize. Why is it that we are drawn to the same items over and over again.

Actually, before I give/toss any item, I’m going to try rotating my wardrobe. When it comes back from the laundry, I’m going to place it at the far left side of my closet so that I will have to work my way toward it. If I come to a piece that I just don’t want to wear… then it goes!!

Yes, I came into my office before I even went down to breakfast. My brain feels a bit muddy this morning and I needed a bit of inspiration before I start blogging. I clicked on “StumbleUpon” and sure enough it took me straight to a site that talks about writing 100 words a day… no more and no less. The site even gives you little “stories” completed in yes… 100 words.

Now if you took that idea for each blog… sort of brainstorming, I don’t think that you would have a problem coming up with something to write about each day.

And it all starts with 100 words which is about 4 lines in length! I think that I can do that!

100 Words

That’s all you have… twenty minutes to kick back and do just what you want to do. So, what’s it going to be? Believe it or not, I actually have a book about that very topic. Yes, I do collect a lot of books and sometimes I even open them up to see what they are about!

I just noticed that it’s listed for $2.99! I just looked at the back of the book and I paid $18.95. Guess I should have waited!

Thinking out loud here… I’m not sure I like the idea of practicing Yoga for someone with an aching back, but after reading the short article I think that I know where I went wrong.

I did not use a group session like the women in the study. I tried following a video, so chances are, I was not in the proper position and only made my back pain worse. I swore that I would never do Yoga again… but maybe if I found a group to join, maybe I could learn how to strengthen my back?? And if I slid into the wrong position, there would be someone to point it out!

Definitely worth checking out. I can’t even imagine what it would be like not to have an aching back on a (near) daily basis.

The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age… Lucille Ball.

The age part… I wonder just how much you could lie and get away with it?? Taking off ten years sounds like a nice round number.

:)

I really can’t imagine how there are people out there who don’t like shopping?? And especially like this time of year, but I have to admit, Britt and I were at the mall on Thursday (I missed a day!!) and we saw so many women who obviously weren’t having a good time. Now tell me, what is there not to like?? You shop, you have lunch, you shop some more, you have coffee and then you might even decide to go out for dinner to top off the entire night.

But Britt and I were good on Thursday. We actually decided to go home for dinner. G was on a business trip, so he would never have known lol… But we did go home and made a salad and Monte Christo sandwiches.

Thank God for a daughter who likes to cook! ;) And here’s to many more shopping days before Christmas!

Now this is my kind of holiday. You stay home… simply because you are well! Kind of reminds me of the days when we used to skip school. Oh, those were fun days. But, in case any teens are reading this entry, it was a very, very bad thing for me to do!!

Anyway, I work at home so I can’t very well take the day off just because I’m “well”, but I can take the afternoon off work and watch that video up there. Yes, I own that one and the earlier version as well. I wonder when someone will remake it yet again?? I love to see how they tweak the story each time! Can’t say which version is my favorite… like the both equally!

;)
