Day 31: It's the end of the world...

I really like that song. But it has nothing to do with this post other than that I like it. It just popped into my head and became a post title. Moving on...

Day 31 of the Blog Every Day in May challenge. WOW! I can't believe I made it. Well, I may have cheated a few times by scheduling or back dating my posts. But I still did 31 posts in 31 days. That's an accomplishment. And because of the 31 posts in 31 days, I have now run out of things to talk about. I'm not a fan of today's prompt (a vivid memory).

SO instead, you get a random assortment of crap thoughts.

  1. I had an egg salad sandwich from Brown Bag Deli for lunch. It was yummy!
  2. I went to a class at the gym last called BodyPump. My arms felt like jello afterwards. This means I should workout more often.
  3. It is insanely hot in Houston today. I started sweating as soon as I walked outside. Not good when you're trying to impress someone. 
  4. Looking forward to happy hour tonight with some friends (and Boy Wonder). Fun times!
  5. I FINALLY figured out where my IPass was. I loaned it to my grandma and she forgot to give it back. It's been driving me crazy!
  6. I think it's really unfair I have to pay bar dues again when I just paid them last November. The State of Texas likes to suck money out of lawyers. 
  7. My days of having nights off are coming to a close. I'm going to be so busy in June!
  8. My brother is getting married next May. He is becoming a real adult. I should probably join him in adult world soon.
  9. I'm going to Chicago in July. So excited!
  10. It's Friday. Thank goodness. These short weeks always feel so long. I hope Clark lets me sleep in tomorrow. 
Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be blogging more but not every day in June!

Day 30: Letting go...

Day 30! Only one more day! Today's prompt: Letting go.

I have learned in my short 32 years on this planet that letting go is one of the best ways to be happy. I was actually just discussing this topic last night with Boy Wonder. When I was in my 20s, I had everything planned out. Actually, now that I think about it, I believe I came out of the womb planning my life. I always had goals and a time frame that I was aiming to meet. But in my 20s, I was really into planning. My life was going to go like this- college, marriage, babies. HA! Boy did the Big Guy Upstairs have a different plan for me. I got through college but the marriage and babies part kinda fell apart. I think that was probably the first time in my life that things didn't go as planned. And as an 25ish year old would do, I sulked and complained and threw a fit. But then, I put on my big girl panties and realized that letting go of the planning every single moment of my life was what would really make me happy. I let go and moved on.

If my plan had gone as planned, I would have never gone to law school. I would have never met my close group of friends that I have now. I would have never gotten to spend a summer in Spain. I wouldn't be as involved with my sorority as I am now. My life would be completely different. And I love my life now. I can honestly say that I am completely happy. While there are always things that I'm working towards (i.e. that marriage and family goal), I definitely wouldn't change the way my life has turned out. I am happier and more satisfied with my life now than I think I ever have been. And it's all thanks to "letting go."

Day 29: I got nothing for you

Day 29 and the prompt I was supposed to do was all pictures. Except I forgot to take pictures today. So I have nothing for you. Except that today was a normal day of work, taking care of the pup, and trivia with friends and Boy Wonder. There you go. A recap of my Wednesday. Exciting, huh?!?!?!
