Where's the Balance?

It has occurred to me that I am REALLY good at staying on top of some things in my life, and then on the other hand, REALLY bad at staying on top of other things. I guess this blog is dedicated to my lack of blogging. As I thought to myself, "Self, you should really blog again. People are starting to give you dirty looks. Next thing you know you'll be getting hate emails."

So before you start scheming just WHAT adjectives you will use to express your disappointment in me ("bloody" is yet to be taken), may I remind you that you are reading a new post. I am doing this for YOU.

Things I've been good at staying on top of...

--Watching ridiculous reality rubbish (language teacher whoop whoop) such as Biggest Loser and Bachelor and on REALLY shameful nights, True Beauty. I don't want to say that the Biggest Loser is ridiculous. I mean, it is, but it's not. I'm a huge fan. The Bachelor is like a step down from the non-ridiculosity of B.L.. It's getting a little (or fine a lot) more stupid. And then True Beauty? I don't think you could do any worse. For those who don't know about it (good for you; be proud of yourselves), it follows a group of beautiful models who are, unbeknownst to them, put into situations where they can do the right thing or the wrong thing. So they are being looked at not only on the outside but on the inside. Hence the title, "True Beauty." Let's just say I'd totally beat everyone in that game. Muahahah. No wait, just watching that show automatically takes me out of the running. Drat.

--Checking my email and being on Facebook. Seriously. How pathetic can I get? Well, I am showing my true colors by sharing with you that I have been quite pathetic recently. I mean....how many times can a girl check her email? And see if anyone wrote on her wall? And yeah, has anyone else out there in the world actually taken the time to write 25 MORE random things about herself? Sheesh. 

--Eating. I am not like those people who say, "Oh I was so busy I didn't eat lunch." Or "I was so tired I went to bed." I like to eat. And I'm proud of it. I never have so much to do that I don't eat. I work my schedule AROUND my meals. And snacks. Most people I know work the other way. Weirdos. 

--Reading. Again, sometimes reading turns into checking my email, but I've been into some books recently. One is Twilight (although I haven't been reading it daily) and the other is called "The Complete Book of Running for Women". It's just that; no explanation needed.

--Working out. Well, actually, sometimes I realize I'd rather read, check my email, eat, and watch stupid TV so that gets put on the back burner. But I've been pretty on top of getting to the gym. Or getting my feet to the pavement. I guess I AM running a marathon in 5 months. Working out is non-negotiable.

Things I've been been TERRIBLE at staying on top of:

--Blogging. Already said it. And I apologize. Please forgive me now and in the future. Because you and I both know that sometimes blogging is not my cup of tea....that reminds me, I've also been VERY good at keeping up my intake of hot chocolate. It has got to stop but I have no motivation to stop it. Oh well.

--Keeping track of stupid stupid mature responsibility stuff. Tax Season is here and I think it should be called Stupid Season instead. I keep getting budget/tax/stupid paperwork in the mail and I just hate it all. But know I have to keep it. I don't even know where I put it all. Bloody 'ell. I hate doing my checking account balance too. I hate it. It should be called checking account stupid instead.

--Doing fun things with friends. Work...and by that I mean teaching, coaching, running, projecting, grad schooling, big sistering, and support lettering...is always there. Some of it I see as more work than other things, but it all takes up time and at the end of the day I am a pretty boring person.  Thank you to my dear friends who love me anyway. I just heart you so much! Footnote: I love my life! I'm not complaining, just expressing...and blogging:)

--Being with Jesus. Always a struggle these days.

Alright. I have some basketball to watch (whoop whoop DeLuca!), some spinning to spin, and some Biggest Loser to watch. Careful out there folks, It's treacherous (if you're in MASS)...
