yes, when i woke up this morning, it was indeed, 14 degrees. & as the meteorologists prepped us for it last week they said, "temps and winds straight from the artic!" i believe it. it's like, if i don't NEED to leave the house, do i?
this morning i am enjoying kathy lee and hoda, like most mornings. they are tipsy and mostly obnoxious but, there is something about them in the morning that really makes me happy. so, here i am, bein happy this wednesday morning. :)
so...i started a book last night, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?" by: Mindy Kaling from The Office. Although I was never an avid viewer of the show, i have found that she is quite hillarious. it's rare for me to read books and laugh aloud. but, this is one that i am actually cracking up with! just so straight forward and full of dry humor. i'm only like 30 pages in so, just getting started! looking forward to it though. :)
you see, at this exact point in my life, i am very lucky to have lots of free time on my hands. i am in the middle of a little break from the taylor swift tour schedule and waiting for feb. 25th to roll around to head to Perth, Australia, which i am realllly looking forward to. but, in the meantime, trying to figure out what it is i can do with my time each day. feeling a bit guilty at times for maybe not 'working' per-say. but, also trying to fully embrace my 'time off' because as the past year has been, the next month and a half will be pretty intense with simultaneous travel and work. but here i am, still struggling with this internal battle in my head each day. is watching hoda and kathy lee, blogging, reading, cleaning, running errands, going to the gym, cooking, baking, enjoying a morning, mid day, and afternoon coffee at the coffee shop (occasionally), really enough to be productive? i say to myself, self, you should be doing more with your life!! you should be working harder! and just when i notice i'm actually screaming at myself (on the inside), i realize...wait, what you are doing is actually very fulfilling. even if it isn't the norm, whatever that is...and especially because it's only temporary. i still struggle with it though. the self-loathing and stuff. i hope it goes away, but at the same time, i guess that mentality is the very thing that motivates us, as the human race. so let me just say, as someone else said, "let whatever you do today, be enough." just make it special. :)
loving on the january coldness! the season for suppression! until next time. bundle up!
