The month of March was my “no cheese” resolution month. Heres the thing. I really like cheese – I started strong on March 1st but then on Tuesday there was cheese in my salad and it just seemed wrong to eat around it – it complemented the cinnamon sugar caramelized pecans SO nicely…it would have been rude to take away that pleasure. And then Wednesday Lexi wanted cheesy eggs for breakfast and I wasn’t about to just throw out those delicious cheesy eggs when she decided she’d rather have Cheerio’s. And then the real killer came on Thursday when Jess suggested we go to Melting Pot for dinner. And so my “no cheese” month turned into LOTS of cheese month. I’m embracing the failure though. Some things I’m just not meant to live without. Cheese is on the top half of that list.
I had a black eye for a couple days. And the cause is embarassing and funny. I was working and holding my coffee mug as I do and I sneezed. And because the mug feels like such an extension of my own self I didn’t move it and I slammed my face – more specifically my eye – directly in to the coffee cup. The force of a sneeze is really startling. So yeah. A black eye. I’m awesome.
Lets see what else have I failed at lately….taking pictures. It’s been a week since I picked up my camera. Between the black eye and Lexi looking like she had a run in with a very mean toddler (we’re not coordinated…or graceful we make up for it in charm) and Mandy being all up in my face it’s been difficult. And it’s the start of spring but everything still looks very much like winter. Those are all bad excuses though. So I got out the camera today and I’m going to take pictures of something. I just don’t know what yet.
I’m at the library again today. Yesterday when I was here I got SO much accomplished it was almost scary. The quiet, the wirring of the ventilation system, the people watching it’s just MAGICAL. It’s like Starbucks but better and free and no desert bar to distract me. Yesterday I was purchased a cappuccino by a man that I can estimate at about 78 years old….although he’s probably in his 80’s and just looks that good for his age. My first pick up. Today the goal is to get picked up by someone less then 75. A girl can dream.










I am so giggling at all of this. That is some TALENT, to give oneself a black eye! We are kindred spirits; I can't live without cheese either and would never even try. I am hoping for today to be super-productive as well... but I had to stop & say hi here first. :)
Wow - I didn't know coffee cups could be so violent, LOL!
I'm not exactly the most graceful person either, but my biggest problem is spilling stuff on myself. I always have food on my shirt. And hey, I would take a cappuccino from an old guy. You probably made his day by letting him buy you that!
I had no idea it was no cheese month! You should have told me and I would have chosen somewhere less cheesy :)
I'm sorry but laughing really hard at the sneezing yourself a black eye.
