Mood: tired, hopeful, excited
The title of this blog suggests that I am, well, living simply. Which is not a lie. I am currently (as we just moved into the new place) living without internet, cable, a printer, a land line, even a "real" bed isn't in my world right now.
While one might assume that a bed would be of the utmost importance...I find I'm honestly FREAKING OUT without having connection to the internet. It's literally killing me to not blog everyday and to not constantly check e-mails. Sure, I can check Facebook and my e-mails on my phone....but it's not the same. Nor is it quick...and it's difficult to write e-mail responses. And trying to connect with one who lives in another country....near impossible without the internet. Incredibly frustrating.
At the same time I'm remembering how much I love cooking. And having a quiet night with Caitlyn and Maddie over some hilarious movies is more fulfilling than 10 hours on the web anyway. That being said though, I still miss being able to get online. I miss this blog. Mainly because, while I'm still doing my daily nice things....the ritual of writing it everyday is something I truly enjoy. And I sincerely hope that it encourages people to at least THINK about doing something nice for themselves.
I've done a few nice things lately...I've started a new book
which as I have no television or internet distraction, I can actually read when I have free time...mainly right before bed.
I had a girl's night in Omaha with Mommy and Caitlyn consisting mainly of drinking, but also sushi...shopping...and fancy water.
Those are pretty much the only pictures I've taken of my good things lately as I know I won't be able to post them. But they are all wonderful things. The book is still giving me wonderful things to read and laugh and cry with...and the water and alcohol are proof of the amazing and fun time I had with mom and Cait.
