Crossing fingers and toes!

I'm hoping that the shenenigans with my home computer are over. For now, at least. *crosses fingers* It seems to be working now.

I like being able to bring home a small to-do list every night of stuff I want to get done. It's much more manageable than having a huge, long to-do list staring at you every day. So each day during work, I write 3-5 tasks on a Post-It and cross them off during the evening. I try to get them done before I get settled on my bed with a book or in front of a TV. Especially stuff like laundry - throw it in immediately when I get home from work, that way I can get it dried and hung up before bedtime.

My college roommate and I had a long (almost 2 hour!) talk last night, just catching up. We discussed how we're both trying to eat more "whole foods"...as in, no processed stuff. Or if you buy something in the store, it's ingredient list is short and you actually can tell what the words are. I told her how I try to cook more now and we're both lucky that we have boyfriends who don't really care what we put in front of them. As long as Matt doesn't have to cook it, he's fine with whatever is served. I slowly have been trying new recipes and subbing healthier options in for things I used to eat. When I made Matt his birthday French toast breakfast, I used whole grain eco-friendly bread with natural peanut butter, and only drizzled a small amount of the sugar-free syrup we got. (I could have gotten the pure maple syrup, but that stuff has about 40-50 grams of sugar tablespoon. Since I'm sensitive to sugar, I decided it was best to go with the fake stuff in this instance, haha.)

Pretty soon, I'll be posting about next month's resolutions and goals and I will also be doing a reflective look back on the past month.
