1. I’ve started making a concerted effort to write at my desk this week. Usually, I camp out on the couch in the living room, with my feet up and my laptop in my lap. Which is nice and comfortable and all, but I don’t think it’s helping me be all that productive. So I’ve spent the week at my desk, and I’m pretty sure it’s working. It makes me feel more productive, at least.2. I’ve stopped buying celebrity tabloid magazines like People and US Weekly, magazines I used to read every time I had a plane ride. I still read EOnline religiously, don’t get me wrong, and I know way more about celebrity lives than is probably healthy for me, but I am beginning to cut back. I go for Conde Nast Traveler or Real Simple or Saveur. Maybe I just want to pretend like I’m more grown up.
3. I’ve been craving naps this week. From about 3 pm to 5 pm every day, I’ve started yawning and staring at my bed. I’m trying to combat it by taking a walk or running an errand around that time, because I’m not going to get much work done then anyway. And if I let myself nap one day, I’m going to want to nap at that time very day after that. Slippery slope.
4. I want to start watching World Cup games. I remember watching them in high school—waking up at four in the mornings to drive over to a friend’s house and watch all the cute guys run around. Because, okay, I don’t know anything about soccer, but it’s still entertaining.
5. There was a huge storm here in Boston last weekend, and tons of trees were torn down along the Charles River. So glad I wasn’t outside when this happened:

I really like that last picture. It looks like there should be a girl in a dress sitting on it, reading. =]
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the World Cup right now! And I need a nap, stat.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that would be an awesome book cover! Such a good idea :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I've just never gotten into those tabloids... I guess I'm a weird teen girl. I know nothing about soccer either, but I'm tempted to look into the World Cup after hearing the catchy theme song in Spanish. :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I second Amanda's comment!
I think watching cute boys run around sounds like a lot of fun. Sometimes I crave a nap as well...don't want to make it a habit though if you don't have the time, but if you NEED one...always a great way to recharge. :)

Alright, here's the plan: I'm going to avoid napping today by watching the USA v England World Cup game today. Also, someone needs to write a book that deserves Amanda's image idea as a cover!
ReplyDeleteI crave naps ALL the time, but rarely ever get one. I too want to watch the WC games, LOVE soccer. As for tabloid magazines, I try (try being key word)to avoid them, because it is bad if I know more about Brittany or Ashton then my own family, just sayin.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I always feel like I know more about celebrities than I know about some of my friends! So sad--I'll have to work on that.
