August.

I'm usually juggling a few different projects at once. It's been the nature of the game since I was a little creature. My mom is a super ambitious (crazily busy/overwhelmed) lady. I've always been a toned-down (can you believe it!) version of that. But, I have my dad's paralyzing perfectionism mixed in, which creates a person who tries to do too much too well and, in actuality, does very little, part way. But, that part way is sooooo perfect. Anyways, I was sitting a home a few nights ago trying to think about a better way to be a person in this world, trying to walk that line between both my parental models. I decided I just wanted to do something each day that made me feel like something had been accomplished, but without all the crazy accessories (other chores/obligations) that I usually latch onto each day. Capish? Anyway, yesterday I decided I wanted to bring a sack lunch to work. I'd been going to work rushed, without lunch, which usually resulted in me trying to waitout my shift so I could eat something cheaper/healthier than what's around my work. I'd fail and dig into whatever sugar/carb-overload was in the backroom. Well, I brought my sack lunch. Or, more accurately, I ate the Safeway groceries I'd left in my bag at work, including room-temp yogurt. Delish. But, a step in the right direction.

And today, I decided I wanted to eat all three meals at home. Again, this comes back to trying to save money and eat a little better. Not so sure about eating better but I did, for the first time, make good hash browns. I rolled up the shredded potatoes in lots of towels/papertowels and basically stood on it, trying to get all the water out of the potatoes. Amazing. So, I've eating an American-worthy parade of foods today... fried eggs, hash browns, PB&J, milk, chocolate chip cookies, yogurt, pasta. So good. Vegetables? What.
