angelakFinished Circuit Training for the day.
Good job, me. Go you. Go you for getting off your ass after your dandy 7-6 jorb.
I have to pat myself on the back today - because there was this little voice in my head that was feeling lazy on a Friday.
But I figured if I just got to it immediately after the office, I wouldn't back out. I would if I waited until my lovely Jim woke up, wanted dinner, wanted to watch The Office Season 4, and then he had to go to work and then I had to go to bed because I have a 4:45/5AM date with my mom to go get Grandma to go support her one and only fun hobby=gambling.
I go because I love to chill with Grandma. Also we just have a blast - and it provides an opportunity to occasionally see my sister, and also always see my Mom.
Needless to say...
I have been reading a lot about the Raw Food diet lately. It is really annoying me because I have a burning curiosity to try it, but I'm totally mortified also. So I've been reading and reading. I know it would be good to go veggie, and if I was really ambitious, vegan, but those 2 things are also seemingly intimidating. I wanted to talk to Sam on the Flist because I think she tried the Raw diet. I'm curious. At the very least, I will keep it in the back of my mind and learn what I will about it.
It's not that I'm against meat, it's that my inner voice is like, "HEY LOOK AT ALL THE BENEFITS THAT COULD BE YOURS."
The downside: Expense, inconvenience, deviation from social norm, and changing my entire home life and the things I currently share with King James, AKA Jimbo. Who knows.
For now I just like to look at it conceptually.
On another note, I have been really putting some strong efforts to organizing my home. It is coming along, single room by single room. I have at the very least re-arranged furniture in the living room, the Den (partially now doubling/tripling as my office/workout room, leaving my Temple space for just spiritual work) and the Temple space.
As for the bedroom? Jim and I have plans to deal with the laundry in there VerySoon(tm).
We had a triumph for sorting laundry that was sitting in the Den area. Now it is gone and in the right places.
That only leaves Jim's space. Which I pretty much leave to him.
If he wants it to be a scary obstacle course, than that be his personal Will. When we moved into 874, I did say he could do ANYTHING he wanted with that room (the Man Room) and that I would not dictate on any level what that was.
This being said - I am interested at some point once all my other projects are done - helping him if he wants it.
ONLY if he says, "I'd really like it if you helped me."
It would be nice to CL that shitty futon and get something like a twin mattress/bed in there so guests could be a TINY bit more comfortable. But, we'll see. I hate the futon thing we have in there. It is poopy. I feel for guests on one hand, but it also keeps them from over-staying. Not that we have many guests come over - HONESTLY.
Either way.
Thinky thoughts about home.
Glad to be enjoying a Friday afternoon with my books, my computer, my peace. Soon - shower.
The layouts I have for both the Den and the Living Room are SO MUCH BETTER than before btw. Very pleased with them. I would like to move the weight rack up here to the Den eventually, but we'll see. It is one heavy son of a bitch. Although, I DID lug it around when I brought it home initially (I bought it from Kimberly). best $60 I ever spent btw.
I will wait a bit before I try this on my own - or request generous services of Jim. Seeing as it WOULD be 1 flight of stairs (thank goodness only floor 2). Anyyyyway. Enough babbling.
And to end this, I'd like to announce that Fritz is sound asleep on the love seat in here and looking entirely too plush toylike and adorable. I want to squash him with love. ;)
