It's the Holiday Season...
Since Thanksgiving is coming up here shortly, I figured it was ok to listen to Christmas music. So on Friday on my way home from work (looooong long drive. About to get longer) I turned on 102.9...and as I'm listening to these classics and singing along, I realized something.
Pretty much every Christmas song that I love love love is...romantic? What the heck is wrong with this picture?
I really like Christmas time. When I was younger it was magical, and now being older...it is kind of romantic. I wish it was more Christ centered, and it IS Christ centered for me, but...there is a very romantic feel to Christmas time. I've never really thought about it much, except for when I was 15 and I was sad I couldn't be with my boyfriend on Christmas (haha...ohhh teenie boppers). But listening to this romantic Christmas music made me realize...I haven't bee "single" on Christmas since I was fourteen.
It's a very...very...strange feeling. I'm not quite sure what to do with this feeling. I don't like this feeling. It's weird.

Positive-ity
It's list time, foo!
1. I love seeing people I haven't seen in awhile. I got to see my only girl cousin today, who lives in Florida and I haven't seen since her wedding 2 years ago. I got to meet her 8 month old baby and it was just...great.
2. I can't WAIT to get a new freakin' phone!
3. I'm excited to not have access to TV when I move back in with my parents. TV has become a serious addiction since I canceled my netflix account. I can't stop! And at home I mostly watch "Friends" and "That 70's Show"... I feel like I see the characters on that show more than I see real people! When I'm with my client we watch cool mystery shows and make faces at each other. It's fun.
4. I either NEED to get a new SD card for my camera or something to upload pictures from my BETTER camera. I'm dying not being able to take pictures.
5. My hair color has really changed since I dyed it. I wish I could show you, but I Don't have a camera to take pictures with.
6. I NEED Neeed neeeed to start working out. And possibly taking vitamin D? I can't let this winter get a hold of me!
I'm trying to have a positive outlook on life and decide how I can be more proactive to get all these things done. That is why I'm sharing. AND that is why I called this post "positivity."

Random Facts for the Day
1. I love violins. And stringed instrument music in general. I wish I could play the cello or something.
2. I hate that I get home so late on Thursday and Friday. I have so much I want to do and it's already time for bed!

Quitting
First of all...It's already the 9th of the month and I haven't posted yet.
That's partly because of media fasts, partly because of laziness.
Anyways, I've decided that I'm going to quit caffeine...again.
Last year I quit around the holidays because I was just very irritated with the fact that I relied on coffee. I needed it and I HAD to have it. It was just annoying and frustrating. Well, I feel like I'm back to that place. Worse even because I usually have more than one cup a day. I had been getting free half pounds of coffee from work every week, and that was/is what was/is keeping my caffeine addiction alive. Last week was my last week working for Caribou (this week has been my first week that I haven't had to work every day but one. It's been WONDERFUL). So I figure it's the perfect time to "ween" myself off.
I only have a few half pounds of coffee left. I'm starting to just have one cup of coffee (which is a little hard) and soon I'll have 1/2 caf coffee thanks to my mom giving me a half pound of decaf. Once all the coffee is gone, I'm done drinking it. I'll get some tea and finish weening myself off that way. I know that quitting during winter time doesn't seem to make that much sense, but it does for me. It's time.
I've also been doing media fasts, and I want to continue doing them on a regular basis. Just to remind myself that the internet isn't everything... I just quit using it for a day or two or three.
So anyways. That's my update for the day.
