Never wanting to feel left out, and catching it on the first day, I figure I will give this a go. :)

Last night, instead of going out to see a movie, we decided to tackle the new thing I had been talking about all night. My first adult blanket fort!

The last blanket fort I made as a child was with my best friend Steph. It ended in a huge fight - mainly because I got the Rainbow Bright horse and she got the Rainbow Brite doll, and she wanted both and I just wanted to eat dinner and watch the A-Team. The end result was a torn down blanket fort, and apparently an end of an era of comforter construction.

I thought my blanket forts back then were good, but they were nothing like the awesome one we built last night! It had awesome lighting, and even better company! My cat, who is actually a tunnel enthusiast, did not appreciate our hard work and tried to tear it down pretty much all night. But all that prepubescent practice came in handy because we built a solid sheet palace that could not fall.

I decided the best plan of attack when you wake up with a mohawk is not to fight it. Instead, dive in head first via hairspray.

Little Things

Posted 1 week ago

This week, I have had a lot of little new things - ones that by themselves I wouldn’t count for my resolution, but since they all came in the same week, they add up. Here is the list:

On Tuesday I went to the doctor and it was the first time I was told my weight was good. At every doctor visit since I was 12 or younger I have been told to lose weight. So that was definitely a first for me.
On Wednesday I got my first pixie cut haircut, even tho I have tossed the idea around for years and years. AND I LOVE IT.
I accidentally put on a pair of Eric’s pants - and they fit me! I know, this is minor for most people, but Eric’s pants not being unbelievably too small on me is kind of a big deal to me.
Tomorrow I will celebrate my Aunt Peg’s birthday here in Cincinnati for the first time. She and I are really close, and finally her proximity to my house is about the same as her proximity to my heart and that is especially awesome on special days.

So, yea, I didn’t go skydiving or anything, but I did have a good week full of little victories. And considering I am still sick, I am pretty happy with it. :) Did you do anything new this week?

The new thing I did this week - forgave someone.

I know how that sounds. And I am willing to fully commit to posting about this, even though it highlights my flaws. I am just really good at holding a grudge. That girl in kindergarten who stole out of the treasure box with me then told on me but not herself - yea if I see that girl again I swear I will hit her. See! I am just not good at letting things go. I know this is something I need to work on. I know it only hurts me to hold on to these things. So I forgave someone.

I had a falling out with an old friend and we stopped speaking. It was a pretty crappy end to the friendship, and I certainly wasn’t happy about it. I was pissed. But she emailed me (2 years later) and appoligized, and rather than be like “No you made your bed - lay in it” I just let it go. Why should I be mad any more?

There are some people and things that happened to me in the past that I am not ready to forgive - the super bads - but this first forgiveness makes it easier to imagine more. And it kept me right on top of my resolution. It also made me feel a little lighter in my travels. So all in all, a good new thing (complete with cheesy motivational image care of google).

Monday Check In

Posted 2 weeks ago

Obsessing over: Is it time to take my pain meds again? My throat is hurting. One more hour.

Working on: Sending out a ton of invoices at work. That’s right, I’m Ms. Bill Collector.

Thinking About: This crazy part of the latest radiolab about a Jewish scientist who sort of unwittingly created Zyklon B (the gas used in the concentration camps).

Anticipating: JAMAICA! THE DATES HAVE BEEN SET!! FEBRUARY 24 - 27!!

Drinking: Water by the gallon pretty much.

Wishing: That the upswing in my health continues and (hopefully soon) the sick goes away for good.

I am never quite as happy as I am when I am swimming. Being held in water’s palms, safe and fantastic, is where I always want to be. It breaks my heart that this favorite pass time of mine cannot be shared with my favorite person in the whole world. Well, we are on the road to remedying this situation!

On Tuesday night we went on his first swimming lesson! It was so awesome! Eric was not only magnificent, he was also really gung-ho about it! No hesitation to literally jump right in. He impressed me and the woman giving the lessons. It was amazing. This was a really really good first.
