A Time for an Instant Pick Me Up

April 23, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Need an instant pick-me-up? Listen to one of your favorite albums from high school. Preferably the music you would drive to when you first got your license. I’ve been listening to No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdom and I am 16 again! It just makes me happy! Other albums I might put in rotation: the Clueless soundtrack, [...]

For the past year I’ve been hooking up with an old flame. His name, the library. Or as I like to call him, the free bookstore. I hadn’t touched the library since college, but with less money coming in this past year, I decided to revisit my past lover. See, if you haven’t been able [...]

Weekly Challenge: 15 Minute Clean Up

April 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

So today begins the actual challenge of 15 min. cleaning up everyday. I’m curious to see how much extra gets done. Idid it yesterday and ended up sweeping and swiffering my kitchen and dining room floors, plus putting lots of dishes in the dishwasher. There’s something about the time limit that makes me move faster [...]

A Time to Use Stuff Up!

April 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

In my reading yesterday in The Happiness Project she was talking about “spending out”. It’s a term I hadn’t heard before, but I agreed with the concept. Basically, use what you’ve bought and quit saving for a special occasion. My term for it’s opposite is “selective hoarding.” People constantly buy things and then, because it is [...]

The Happiness Project

Okay, so after rebelling for about a year, I finally took the numerous recommendations and read The Happiness Project. I guess I didn’t want to because it sounded kind of un-Christian to me. Like, as a Christian shouldn’t my happiness be found in Christ? Yes, but that can come through His creation and the life [...]

April 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

So, my week of putting others first is over. Not that I can stop putting others first, obviously, just the actual letting people go in front of me all the time thing. I will say it was a good reminder all week long, though sometimes it proved frustrating. One day I let a woman go [...]

Weekly Challenge: Put Others First

April 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Hi All, So I know I’ve been MIA for awhile. Sorry about that. I had a 2 week gig casting a show and then I felt guilty about not posting which instead of making me want to post, kept me from it. That’s logical, right? Anyways, hopefully next week I’ll be back to it at [...]
