So, today the world is definitely making up for the disappointments of yesterday. I have 3 days of canceled morning classes (huzzah!), I've decided that I can work around not being able to upload directly from my phone, AND my external hard drive will arrive tonight so I can clean out my laptop and hopefully get it running faster!
This post however, I'd like to make a couple of confessions:
1. I like lists. Or maybe love them. My enjoyment of them, and of the high I get when I check everything off, is pretty serious.
2. At work, I was trying to convince everyone that we need to organize all our online lesson materials into separate folders, instead of having everything all in the same file. One coworker looked at me and said, "you really like organizing things, don't you?" I may have blushed, but wholeheartedly agreed, because usually it's a good thing in a work environment. Then a second coworker laughingly said, "I bet you're the kind who organizes all her M&Ms by color." ...And my mouth dropped open. Because, at that very instant, there were 6 tidy arrangements of M&Ms on my desk.

And this is how I usually eat them:
Actually, it only just occurred to me that perhaps that coworker said that because he'd peeked into my office and
noticed the rainbow-arrayed candies. Regardless, my reaction was ridiculous. I was so surprised at his joke being so true that I blurted "I also fold my husband's boxers!"
*Sigh.
So. Not only do I color-code my M&Ms before eating them...
3. ...I also love to fold my husband's boxers. BUT IN A REALLY COOL WAY, AMIRITE?
(Little-known production note: I recorded the audio "steps" to that video about 7 times, and by the 7th, when I forget what step I was on, I was tired of recording and just kept it!)
4. I apparently have trouble counting these days. I just had to re-number confession #3, because I had it written as #4. *slow head shake*
5. The logo for my makeup routine is "inexpertly applied." Because I only 1/2 care. But that doesn't stop me from following (and really enjoying) fashion blogger
Keiko Lynn. I haven't missed a post of hers... well, since I found her, I guess! I'm no fashionista, or syle guru (again, because I only 1/2 care, which isn't enough to propel me past where I am), but I certainly enjoy her style and photos.
Ok, that's enough confessions for today. I only have 3 subscribers, and to go further would be to endanger those three and their commitment (love you guys!). ;)
Carpe November!
P.S. Abs, CHEEECK. It's getting harder and harder each day, though. Ugh.
Squats, CHECK!
Minimalism, CHECK. Adam and I are adjusting this challenge to fit our needs. There's no way we can completely disconnect from electronics for the next 3 days (Yes. Yes, that really is the challenge.). I work ONLINE, and Adam runs the ONLINE version of a newspaper that he is required to update, not to mention the tech he uses in his classes, not to mention the fact that he's doing NaNoWriMo, and I'm doing NaBloPoMo. So, instead, we're challenging each other to disconnect from our iPhones unless absolutely necessary. Answering a phone call? Ok. Pulling up IMDB to check what other movies that actor was in? Not necessary. Checking Twitter/email/facebook/etc is likewise, unnecessary. It's going to be hard to remember at first, I think. So we'll see how we're doing by day 3!
