What seems like a good blog topic at 7am, and what seems like a good blog topic when you're actually awake, are totally different.
This morning I woke up and thought that I should blog about how much they must love their pets here because there is an Animal Hospital on every block. Also, their are big semi trucks driving around with Pet Milk.
Of course Pet Milk is actually a brand of dairy for humans here, and not the lactose free milk you can buy for your cats. Just found that one out.
Yesterday I had a Pizza and Movie night with Daniel and his two kids. It reminds me of when my mom, Barry, Andrew, and I used to order pizza and watch a movie on a Friday night. Except I'm not the kid this time.
Tomorrow I'm going to try out yet another church. I have found one that I like, but it's in another town about 30 mins away and if I could find a decent one closer I would like that. The one tomorrow is called Cliffdale Community Church. Anything with "Community Church" in it's name is appealing to me. It has a website and advertises a casual atmosphere (I can wear jeans) and contemporary worship. I found it one day just driving down Cliffdale Road.
Every year since sometime in highschool I have given up something for lent. I am not catholic and to not believe that this practice is necessary, but it has been helpful in my life. I have found that going 40 days without a certain vice or habit usually breaks me of it entirely. Here are some things I've given up for lent:
Sour Cream
Chocolate
Straightening my hair
Baths
(just kidding about the baths)
I'm not sure what to give up this year, however, because I've given up so many things in my diet over the past year that I don't have much else left besides healthy food. I also am not sure I have any habits that would be hard to break. I'm not addicted to the internet and could go without it, but am not going to because I want to stay in contact with those far away. I don't watch much TV. I guess I could give up my boyfriend for 40 days?
Anyway, I will probably just stick with the rules I already have, but make sure I don't do any cheating. No meat, dairy, refined carbs, processed foods, etc. And NO CAFFEINE.
