The New 29

Day 1-2: Held the door open for someone at the airport, concentrated as much as I possibly could on my homework but didn't feel bad when I couldn't finish it all.

Day 1 - 2 (again)

Posted on November 5, 2008 at 5:40am 2 Comments

So things kinda fell apart for me over the past couple of weeks and I needed to take some time to myself to get other things done. In all honesty, they haven't really let up either, but the 29 days has been on my mind. I've been thinking about restarting the next cycle, and this morning I got a nice little nudge from Peter so I'm back on the saddle again.



Especially after last night.



Obama is going to be my next president. I was THERE, in the middle of the crowd, amidst… Continue

Day 1 - 2

After writing that last blog today, here are my decisions for my gives (which more than likely will be amended...you'll see why in a minute).



For me, I'm going to go exercise. As soon as this little bloggity blog is done my ass is heading out the door, even in 39 degree weather and I'm going to go to for a walk. I have gained way too much weight and feel way to lethargic. So, I'm doing it!



For someone else...this is the one that's giving me issue. Over the last week or… Continue

At the end of it all

Well, in the last five days of this challenge I stopped blogging. I don't know why I couldn't come here and write even two words. Yes, I've been busy but this was supposed to be something that was important. I know that I did the challenge and that I completed it, but for some reason it was just a little bitter sweet that I didn't log anything. So now, I sit here thinking what next? It's time to start my next 29 days. What am I going to do this time that's different? Who will I… Continue

Day 24

I can't believe that it's already day 24. Where did this month go???



Yesterday, I ended up not going to the reading that I wanted to, but ended up at a poetry reading instead which was fun because I got to hang out with the boy that I have a crush on. Then I stayed up till 3 am watching The Biggest Loser. Which motivated my give for myself today. I got up and took a walk. I didn't turn on the computer or go to the fridge. I simply got up, got dressed and took a nice long walk around… Continue

Days 21-23

I hate when I'm so busy that I don't have the time to post on here. This has been one of those weeks, the ones that I feel like I can barely catch a breath, where sometimes I forget to eat because my fingers have to keep typing away, and my brain goes to mush by Friday. So here's a quick update on all the things that have happened:



Update on day 20:

I didn't get that card made for the 1. cute 2. single 3. single and searching man who I would have eventually run into. It's a… Continue
