Follow Your Bliss

Saturday Day evening:

So today was my little phone chat with my guru or health coach. Today was the call where we came up with my plan. This is a service provided through my work and we get a discount on our insurance premiums for using the service. Some people are skeptical about it but this actually works for me. My guru is really nice and she doesn’t sound like a drill sergeant and I told her about all my bad food habits and caffeine dependency. She gave me numbers and structure so I am ready to go. I feel more confident about this attempt to eat healthier because this is a series of gradual changes with the ultimate goal of breaking old habits. We will see how it goes in a month when we have our next chat. She is even sending me a little goal sheet for my fridge! I think I like the fact that we just talk on the phone. I don’t have to go to meetings or a special facility.
I went to my neighborhood yarn store today. I bought a Brittany L hook (yay!), two crusty issues of Vogue Knitting and a vintage Cabbage Patch clothes leaflet (all in crochet). That was my post birthday mini-splurge.
I am almost done with skein one on the Boston Rose shawl. I bought some Vanna yarn in Pink Poodle today so I started another shawl with my new hook. My mom says that the pink shawls are going the fastest at church so
I also made my Saturday stop to Whole Foods and the post office. I mailed off some Halloween books to little L.
Last night at BN, I bought a copy of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz which has won several big awards including the Pulitzer Prize. I picked it because I wanted something to read that wasn’t something I would typically pick and it just sounds like it will be a great read. I am also re-reading Wicked and Anne of Avonlea. I like to rotate around when I am reading.
My sister’s evil roommate from hell moved out today. She has found a new host family and hopefully my sister will be happier now. She is coming out here for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year thanks to some miles that my Dad needed to use before they expired.
Sunday Morning:
It is also doing the rainy thing here again today.Paul Newman has passed away which is very sad because he was a great actor and philanthropist. I had just purchased a bottle of his Caesar salad dressing at Whole Foods yesterday too.
I went to Starbucks this morning and this time, The Way I See It featured on my cup was highly appropriate.

I have been dreaming of a new purse too. I love my Coach purse that I got back in early August but I keep seeing everyone and their dog carrying the same version of mine in the same color and that is annoying me so I have started using Coach purse #1 again.

I am also really tired of having to drive to four different gas stations just to buy gas. I had to do that yesterday because I was close to running out and I had been putting it off for this exact reason.
