I’m still waiting for my tea to kick in, but other than heavy eyelids I’m doing just fab. 🙂
I haven’t lately because out here in the burbs I rely on my car to get around, but I did it often when I lived in San Francisco and spent half of my time on buses and trains. Zzzz…
I’d “disappear” the gray roots peeking through.
For now, just Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom lotion on my hands.
My Strawberry Shortcake roller skates. They were white with red wheels and laces, and I loved ’em to pieces. I remember the day when I realized that they no longer fit my feet, and what a sad day it was…
The nap I took yesterday on the couch. MAN, it felt great! I swear, I could write sonnets about how much I love naps, ha ha!
Yes, but I’m not sure why. It’s not like it ever helps me get where I need to go on time. 🙂
The salad bar at Whole Foods (aka Whole Paycheck), getting to bed early, my stretchy dark gray yoga pants, having a clean kitchen floor, and green tea.
Said stretchy gray yoga pants, a white tank top and a coral pink wrap sweater.
Write a list of positive affirmations every day, and post them someplace visible; read a few articles on time management; be kind whenever I critique myself; and use small treats as rewards whenever I’ve met a goal.
I usually cling to the last vestiges of every weekend, but last night I decided to just bite the bullet and look forward to Monday. To set the right tone for the week, I wrote brief lists of positive affirmations (I’m having a great day, I’m creative in my own way, I’m a good friend, etc.) on Post-It notes and put them around the house — on the mirrors, in my daily planner and on my computer screen (see above).
Speaking of kicking weeks off to good starts, do you have a minute to take the Monday Poll? If you’re new to MBB, the poll is just a quick way to touch base and to tune our mental motors.
All you do is copy the list below, and paste it with your answers in the comments. Easy, peasy. 🙂

Where are you headed to on your cruise?
1. Mood:
Very tired. I had to wake up early to go to a meeting with the Office for Students with Disabilities. I really hate saying my quirks are “disabilities.” Makes me cringe.
2. Do you ever fall asleep on public transportation?
Uh, no.
3. If you could wave a magic wand and instantly change one thing about your hair this morning, what would it be?
For it to be less oily. My hair’s been on a super oily streak lately.

Dresses at the moment. It’s hot AND humid here in Chicagoland.

Brush out Zena!
Go to the doctor for a physical and checking on this rash/bruise/whatever this thing is on my upper right arm. It itches AND hurts.
Get sunscreen. I’m running low AGAIN.
Get back to my exercise videos. I’ve been slacking due to the heat and humidity.
Hmm, maybe your hair’s extra oily because of the humidity?
A dry shampoo might help!
I don’t know! It could be that I have a mosquito bite near the back of the crown of my head. It’s usually not this kind of oily when it’s humid. It’s truly bizarre. Just like the bruise/rash thing on my upper right arm. Both weird phenomena this summer.
It might be because you’re getting older, too. I’ve noticed that my hair/scalp has changed throughout the years.
Give Zena a snuggle for me. 🙂
1. Mood:
Kind of frazzled. For no real reason. sigh.
2. Do you ever fall asleep on public transportation?
ha. yes. I don’t take it much anymore since I’m not going from Seattle to Tacoma, but I’d fall asleep ALL the time on the Sounder.
3. If you could wave a magic wand and instantly change one thing about your hair this morning, what would it be?
Take it back to my natural color 😛 I love having dark hair, but I’m sick of maintaining it. But I REALLY don’t want to strip the color out. sigh!

Hi Trude,
So happy to hear about you and your BF. 🙂 It’s an amazing thing to give and receive love!
BTW, what’s a White Gummi Bear Jamba Juice? Do they actually put Gummi Bears in the smoothie?
It really is! 🙂
They actually make a smoothie that tastes just like a white gummi bear – its amazing! Part of the employee-created “secret” menu. If you order it at any location, they’ll know how to make it! See also: Pink Starburst. Yummmm. 😀
Okay, I’m totally into Pink Starburst so I will have to try that one. I have to make sure it’s on a day I do actually cardio though, oy! 🙂

2. Do you ever fall asleep on public transportation? I haven’t taken public transportation recently (just now moving back to a place with a bus system…. though the drivers are on strike right now). If I had to, though, I’m sure I would, and that seems like a really bad idea.

10. Weekly goals: something related to work… I start for real on Wednesday, but I have no clue what’s going on yet to even formulate a specific goal! This weekend, I want to get the rest of my stuff boxed up at the old place, even if I can’t move it anywhere yet.
I’m loving the affirmations idea. I was thinking of doing something similar today when I was bored in a new teacher orientation thing. Haha. Gotta keep my mind occupied somehow.
I think the affirmations idea totally helps. It reminds me to look at the world through fresh eyes, you now?
Are you done moving? Get all those boxes unpacked, STAT!
I’m not done yet. I’ve moved as much as I can in my handy dandy Corolla (during the 10 or so back and forth trips I’ve made), but all my furniture is still at my old place. It is a sad situation over here for sure. Hahaha.
1. Mood:
Happy I accomplished most of my goals already today.
2. Do you ever fall asleep on public transportation?
