Detox Day!

I woke up late this morning. My shift at work starts at 9:30am. I woke up at 9:37am. Grant it, all I have to do is roll out of bed and to the computer, but this was not how I wanted to start my day. Once at the computer, it literally took me almost 2 hours to get logged in and ready to work. Errors were popping up, the screen kept freezing, and the essays would not download. (I critique essays and research papers.)

Then I realized, I had not been "grateful" or "feeling good". I need to change the way I am thinking. Who cares if I was tired. I shouldn't have stayed up so late. I should have taken that ibuprofen earlier in the night. I should have...you get the picture. Ultimately, I probably just wanted an excuse to not go to work. How lame is that?

I got my tax refund already, so all of my money worries are gone! I should be GRATEFUL beyond measure. Even though I don't have a car anymore, I live in a centrally located neighborhood and have good friends who look out for us.

But I also realized I have been taking in a large amount of garbage--ie negative crap. I have been watching the depressing ass news everyday. Yeah that's over with. If I wanted to be depressed, I would just go back to looking for a 9 to 5 job. I have been watching those court tv shows and gossip shows like tmz. Yeah enough of that too. Plus there are probably some residual feelings of contempt for people I argued with last week. Gotta get that out of my head!

After I get off work today, I plan on going into detox mode. How? LAUGHING MY A** OFF! Anything on you tube that is funny, I'll be watching it. I am going to put in my favorite movies: Rat Race and Last Holiday. Then I will blast the good music for the rest of the evening; whilst I write, sing, and dance. Anything that makes me feel good, I will be DOING! ;-) I should probably add some peanut butter and chocolate somewhere in this evening.

my addiction

The one thing I like most about the holidays is my granny's cooking. I am priming myself for that trip to Florida. But these are a few treats that I like all year round. I really am addicted.


Reese's...it's a shame how much I love these.

I'm a peanut butter freak, so they actually have one with peanut butter in the rice krispies, covered in chocolate. This is from Kilwins, a little ice cream shop in Wilmington, NC. ***This is a rice krispie treat on a stick***

Chocolate Fetish is my favorite chocolate spot. This little truffle actually has cayenne pepper sprinkled on top.

Dragons kiss is sold at Chocolate Fetish too. I think this one has wasabi in it, oh well...it was delicious anyway. They are in Asheville, NC...the lesbian mecca of the east coast. They call it the San Francisco of the south. Basically, it is very LGBT friendly!
