be more secure
Act like you own the place... 3 months ago

and you will!

Generally, I don’t care to go places where there are poeple that I don’t get along with. I live in an itty-bitty town, and you run into people everywhere. This past weekend, a friend and I went out, which was LNOG overdue for both of us. We went to this little place downtown, and of course half the poeple in townw e don’t like or don’t liek us were there. I was pretty scared going into it..mostly because I tend to feel really insecure, but we held our heads up high, and walked in like we owned the place. We had a blast!! At first, my security was just acting..but the longer we stayed, I realized that I am NOT a product of the other people arund me, and was secure in myself and had a fantastic time!!



Simplify.
I am being forced to simply... 4 months ago

or rather, nto to simply, but to de-clutter, and I am taking the opportunity to simplify as I go. Motivated by having to, I’m not sure that it’s really reaching any goal, but the fact that I am chosing to simplify down rather than just move crap around as I normally do is something that I am proud of.

Our neighbors have a bug problem (NOT raoches, thank god..I would shoot them if that were the case!!) and we are having our house treated as wlel. I got the call yesterday that the exterminator is coming in two and a h alf days, and there needs to be nothing on my flooors aside from heavy furnituyre.

Now, I am fairly neat. MY house is clean, although there is clutter around, but it is all contained by totes and bins and shelves, etc. I have decided that since I have to move all the little/light stuff, I am really gong to do this right..go through it all and chuck and donate what is not really being used, what is floating around fr no reason, etc. I am hoping that sine I have a short time to do this, rather than my normal open-ended agenda, I will be less hesitant to think about anything too much, and just go with my gut!!

Hopefully it works…



eat sushi
So it was an interesting experience... 4 months ago

We went out to dinner yesterday with some friends who are getting married today. We went to this fantastic sushi bar/japanese restaurant, and sat a hibatchi table where all our food was prepared fresh and in front of us. What an experience!! IT was amazing, the food was divine, and everyone had a great time!

So…they order some sushi, which I have alwyas said that I wanted to try, just for the experience. They offered me some, which I at first declined, but then figured..it’s now or never baby!! So I did it..I had a tuna roll.

So interesting. I put a bit o f wasabit on the end, and a lit dip in the soy sauce, and then popped it in my mouth. The explosion of flavor when I bit down was AMAZING!!! Of course, once I bit again, the texture kinda got to me, but I persevered (hey, I was in the middle of a restaurant, I couldn’t just spit it out, ya know?? LOL) and with each bite it got b etter, and finally towards the end of it it was quite enjoyable.

I seriosuly doubt that I will ever do it again. But I am very proud of myself for trying it, and I can say that I have done it.

I’m glad that I reached this goal, and also that obtaining it was a result fo other things I have been working on about myelf, like not being so scared, and being in charge of myself.
