My floor. According to Method. Personally, I wouldn't recommend that just yet.

Do you ever have to bargain with yourself? If you do this, then you don't have to do that.

I find myself doing that all the time. In an I'm adult, I get to decide what I want to do kind of way.

I use it at night when I'm not ready to go to bed, but should. I'm an adult. I can continue to play Alchemy and deal with the consequences in the morning.

Right now, I should be cleaning. But I'm not.

I need to go to the store. But I'm negotiating. If you go, you only have to buy this and that. The rest can wait until another day.

Is that what adults do? Or am I just plain lazy?

P.S. I think terrorists suck.

And I am on vacation! Frankly, my brain has been on vacay for a while now. I am so ready to be off. I won't be going anywhere since I just spent $350 on my car (and $90 on the dog), but it will be nice to not be at work.

My big goal for the week? To clean.

• the house
• the car

This is a big task. I want to get everything put away so I feel "clearer" for lack of a better term. I am feeling bogged down by stuff. I think I should just accept that I am stuck with the majority of the stuff while mom is alive because she pretty much won't let me get rid of it. Maybe I just need to buy some industrial size trash bags and sneak it out. Sad, huh? 41 and still hiding shit from my mom. :-)

I'd also like to hit a couple matinees. Mostly Ratatouille and Life Free or Die Harder. I told someone the second one today and she looked at me incredously, "Really??" Yeah. I heart Bruce Willis.

I want to spend some time adding to my pantry and planning out some meals for the following week. The veggie thing is going well and I am moving slowly away from processed foods (although I really heart Amy's). That's really my goal to move to a better overall nutrition plan. Cleaning is part of that. So my kitchen is more condusive to cooking, chopping, etc...

I have to say that everytime I eat a veggie meal I feel really good about myself. It's affecting my psyche way more than I thought it would. One of my friends asked this week if it would bother me if she ate meat in front of me. I told her no, but later teased her about the pile of chicken bones on her plate. She thought I meant it, but I again promised not to go "all PETA" on anyone. I think they're a little on the militant side. They have great info on their website about vegetarianism and veganism, but I almost feel guilty looking at them because I do think the group does as much harm as good.

I am up to seven minute intervals on the elliptical. My legs give out before my heart and breathing does. I've found I kind of enjoy it while watching TV. (Yes, that means it's in the middle of my living room.)

I've been reading a lot. Up to Book Five now. I'm going to wait until after the movie (bought my tickets today) to read Book Six. Which is good, because I've got some books ready at the library.

Oh, and today is my fifth anniversary in this house.
