Ten on Tuesday

Posted in Ten on Tuesday by

1. What keeps you up at night? (figuratively)

Not a heck of a lot at the moment.

2. What keeps you up at night? (literally)

The disgustingly warm fall weather, or anxiety.

3. Where do you want to go in life? (figuratively)

Where ever life may take me.

4. Where do you want to go in life? (literally)

Some place lovely.

5. Have you ever bit off more than you could chew? (figuratively)

Oh, most definitely, but I usually manage to power through everything.

6. Have you ever bit off more than you could chew? (literally)

Yeah. It makes for awkward dinnertime moments.

7. Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? (figuratively)

It depends on what it is you’re looking for in life. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

8. Is the grass really greener on the other side of the fence? (literally)

Considering my neighbour on one side only has a brick patio and no grass and the other is no longer alive, yes.

9. If you can’t stand the heat, do you get out of the kitchen? (figuratively)

Sadly, yes. I hate arguments so I avoid them.

10. If you can’t stand the heat, do you get out of the kitchen? (literally)

If I’m the one not cooking, hell yes!

This is Me in October …

This month….

I like: That it’s still unbelievably warm outside!

I don’t like: My lack of kitchen table. One day I’ll get it!

I want you to know: That I splurged on a brand-new mattress set from Simmons. Bowling Ball whaaa? I’m pretty excited. It gets here on Saturday!

I’ve planned: To eventually have multiple house-warming bish-bashes.

I want to say to someone special: You’re amazing.

Where are YOU this month?

Seven Quick Takes

During the week, the power has gone out every single day. The electric company is upgrading the power on my street, which I guess is a good thing, but it’s frustrating! On Wednesday, I didn’t think it was going to go out, so I started boiling some eggs, and it went out. Grr! Yesterday it went out for an hour, which was the longest period of time so far. I only have to survive through next week with random outages and they’re suppose to be done.

My freelance story was publishing and distributed on Saturday, which was pretty exciting, expect I didn’t get a byline! I’m thinking it’s because it was a Q&A, but still! The rest of my freelance work is coming out sometime next week.

Every since Kyle and I moved to our new place, we have not gone to McDonald’s a single time for breakfast! Yeah, it sounds disgusting, but we used to go at least once per weekend. I guess being further away from (the good) McDonald’s has some benefits.

~4~

I’m contemplating taking kickboxing lessons at a ladies only kickboxing facility! It’s only 10 minutes from my house and they have a whole bunch of different class times that work for with my crazy schedule. I need to get back in shape, so why not kick-ass at the same time?

~5~

I’ve finally started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo! It was really hard getting past the first boring bit, but it’s starting to get good! I’m still not sure if I’ll read the rest of the series; I guess it will depend on how I like the rest of the book.

~6~

I’m excited that all my favourite fall TV shows are back on air! Right now I’m addicted to Weeds on Sunday; Glee on Tuesday; Survivor, The Ultimate Fighter and ANTM on Wednesday; and Grey’s and Private Practice on Thursday. So far I’ve had to work a lot during the week at Job #2, which makes me pretty happy to be able to watch them all online the next morning.

~7~

I’ve been watching way too much of The Doctors. It’s got to the point where I’m all, “OMG, I HAVE THAT!” I was already a little bit of a hypochondriac, but this had definitely made it worse.

So who’s tried kickboxing? What are your favourite fall TV shows? And who else is reading the Millennium Trilogy? Have an awesome weekend!
