February Challenge: Fail.

So as I mentioned earlier, I had the grand hope for the entire month of February to

1. No Starbucks.
2. No eating fast food unless I was with other people.

I do believe it is only the 7th and I have failed on both accounts! I had no idea how dependent I was on the convenience of eating out. I don't do it often (two times a week at the very most) but with my scheduling this week, I am in the Student Center during lunch times and I have two nights of class which leave me wanting to eat a meal rather than a granola bar for dinner. I will say that the coffee splurge this morning did me in for the rest of the way (hello jitters!). Tomorrow I will again be in the Student Center and lunch will be from one of the fine offerings there PLUS I have class in the evening. I am currently planning some snacks that can last a full day without being refrigerated AND have some significant nutritional value.

Well, let's see how that goes!

Confession Thursday

I am having a weird week. Lots of little things going on and as the month progresses, it will only get weirder. Here are my few little confessions of the week to be in the clear to enjoy my Friday.

1. I had to text my downstairs neighbor last night to turn down his TV/video games. I felt horrible!! This guy is the same one that has helped with internet issues and helped get my too-big bed up the too-small stairs.

2. I feel like because I was volunteering today, the heavens didn't give me a parking ticket.

3. I have been tempted both days of February so far to get Starbucks. I mean, TEMPTED. I am taking the month off from Starbucks and any fast food stops unless I am with other people.

4. I got Subway for dinner tonight but in my defense, I had a really long day, might be getting sick, and ate it really, really slowly.

5. The newest JCPenny's commercial makes me want to hurt someone, namely the person (people) who came up with this concept.

8. I couldn't give blood this week and I got very sad.

9. I almost couldn't give my pee either but that thankfully worked out as well.

Alright....fess up....?

P.S. It's February. FEB.U.AIR.EEE. Holy crap.

Free Will Astrology: Not Wanting

Aries Horoscope for week of February 2, 2012
 
Verticle Oracle card Aries (March 21-April 19)
Sad but true: A lot of people seem to be perpetually in a state of wanting what they don't have and not wanting what they actually do have. I'm begging you not to be like that in the coming weeks, Aries. Please? I'll tell you why: More than I've seen in a long time, you will have everything going for you if you want precisely what you do have -- and are not full of longing for what's unavailable. Do you think you can you manage that brilliant trick? If so, you will be amazed by the sublimity of the peace that will settle over you.




I'm ready for the sublimity of peace and not longing for anything more than I have in this moment. Being present.
