It's Hard to be a Perfectionist...

When you're not perfect.

And somehow, life has a way of bluntly telling you that you're not perfect.

So earlier this week I decided to look at face lifts that had gone awry. You know, to minimize my imperfections. I realized it doesn't help to look at disfigured faces to make you happy.

It also doesn't help to play Solitaire for hours.

And it doesn't help to replay all your imperfections in your mind.

Even Dan Fogelberg songs don't work.

So, if I've offended anybody lately, I'm sorry. And if I've gotten a little pudgy lately, it's cuz I'm not perfect but brownies are.

And from here on out I'm seeking for anything that is "virtuous lovely or of good report or praiseworthy." Which means I'll be reading Nie Nie's blog more.

But I'm still not perfect.

Friday Five:
1. Nie Nie's home.

2. Date night tonight!

3. I didn't yell at the lady that just called me from another department. I just talked to her "strictly."

4. Sister's who share their drama.

5. Dan Fogelberg Pandora.

Break Time!

I'm taking a break today!

Yesterday, after staring at my computer for an entire 9 hours straight, I came home with a big bad headache after a big bad day.

So today I'm going outside for lunch, eating my sandwich and reading some chic lit.

My computer won't know what to do without me....


My Five:
1. My non-tainted peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

2. Beautiful weather to enjoy.

3. My daughter's fever broke. And my son is better.

4. Visiting teaching done.

5. Zig Ziglar. Just kidding. But not really.

Motivation

Yesterday I had Darin take a picture of me in my swimsuit. It's my little (or big) way of reminding myself why I need to exercise.

Do any of you have tips on how to stay motivated to be healthy?

My Monday Five:

1. The smell of rain. It's so clean and refreshing.

2. Zig Ziglar. He makes me want to be positive. At least until something negative happens...

3. My lunch hour. I can do my 10 minute Bu-thigh workout and blog. Oh, and eat.

4. Ice cold water! Without the ice, though.

5. The square foot garden my husband is building. Our weed patch may actually look nice this year
