Dreams Really Do Come True

Turning Over An Old Leaf

It seems like I keep turning over the same leaf. Does anyone else feel like that? Where you want to start fresh and accomplish all of these goals and you decide today you're finally going to do it. Then you sit and think about your goals and realize that they are the same dang goals you set last time you felt like starting fresh. It seems like I never have any new goals, just the same tired old list: clean more, read scriptures, serve more, read more, judge less, eat well, exercise more, sleep a full 8 hours, drink water, etc.

Maybe my new goal should be to set a new goal? In which case, done and done!

A Few Things I've Learned

I usually really like the foods I've always thought I didn't like so never tried. Examples include: cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream (I had a strange aversion to dairy, apparently), avocados, tomatoes, grapefruit, the list goes on.

I don't like music. It's just noise after a while and it bugs me. I do like songs one or two at a time though, so I'm not a total music hater.

I can hike La Luz.

My skin is not permanently white, it does indeed tan when I force it into submission with UV Rays.

I'm extremely sensitive to smells and eating noises. They drive me crazy.

After I eat lunch, my productivity goes to complete garbage and I have to force myself to get things done.

I was not joking when I said I was done with school forever when I graduated with my bachelor's degree.

One week of study for the GMAT is simply not enough.

My mom makes everything the way I like it. She's fantastic.

I'm pretty awesome at sticking to goals with a daily task associated with them. Like finishing P90X, 30 Day Shred, giving up candy and soda for Lent. If I say I will or will not do something for a set amount of days, I will or will not do that thing every single one of those days.

My husband, family, and in-laws are seriously awesome. They support my decisions, give me advice, build me up and make me so happy.

I'm not as popular as I once was.

I let little things get to me WAY more than they should.

The ladies in my church are seriously crafty.

I'm much more witty and biting when it's over IM.

My dad is seriously awesome for making us do manual labor when we were little. I got my current job and a lot of other opportunities because I know how to work hard.

My parents had some really great rules and values that I know I'll use in raising my children.

Albuquerque has great weather, awesome mountains, hot desert, fun activities and great people and I don't want to leave. 

Fridays off are the greatest work related invention ever.

And finally, life isn't so bad. If the worst thing I've got going on is some little annoyance, then life is good.

I'm Pretty Outdoorsy

Not!

But I hiked La Luz this weekend! And I didn't even die. Go me.

Our British friend Adrian invited us to hike up to the top of the tram with him and somehow Evan and Adrian tricked me into saying I'd go. We went, had a great time, felt accomplished and can all now say we've conquered the Crest.

Booya!!

Fajitas!

 

 Ok, if you've been around me or talked to me in the past few weeks you know that I am craving Chili's fajitas 24/7! They are so freakin' good! I could totally go for some right now.

Or for lunch.

Or dinner.

Or maybe even tomorrow?

Please, come to Chili's with me, so we can get fajitas.

Remember that Friends episode, The One Where Ross is Fine, when Ross makes fajitas for Rachel and Joey? Eating fajitas also reminds me of this episode everytime and I say it like he does and then I laugh to myself. And then I realize again that I'm eating fajitas and give myself a smile. And then I end up being a grinning weirdo eating fajitas, but hey, at least I'm happy.
