1. Closer in Faith: I have been back and forth this month. Like I have been trying really hard to get back on a schedule. I have been way better about it this month. It's not all together, and I have changed some things around to make it easier. Creating the habit is so hard! It's hard to be consistent. I am hoping that in the coming month that I will be able to have the habit down and will feel better because I will have everything all balanced out.
2. Lose 50 Pounds: Creating that habit is also getting into the gym in the morning five times a week again. I am still getting up really early to do my gym and quiet time. However, I switched them so now I am going to the gym after. In doing this my mom and I get to go to the gym at the same time, which makes going to the gym so much better! When you have someone the counts on you to be there you are so much more likely to show up!
3. Cook Better: This one I think that I have improved on the most this month! Now, I was way better about cooking in the days that I didn't already to have plans to eat out. Now, what I need to do better is actually make myself cook that meal that I have planned. There were some nights that I didn't cook what I had planned, and just made other things. So, it's a step up but it's not perfect. We are working on it!
4. Dress for Success: This one has also been better. I'm telling you when I am on a routine I am so much better in all of the areas. My night routine includes me picking out my outfit for work the next day and I actually have time to get ready instead in just rolling out of bed to get there. So, I have not been to work everyday all done up but it's been almost every day. I really think the only few days that I didn't do it was when I was sick.
5. Speak up: I think that I have been saying more in like small group this month. Like we were talking about Joseph and his brothers earlier and I had some stuff to say about that.
6. Own the Room: I don't know if this counts as this or not but one of the girls that I work with said that I always have style. Like, I always look good when she sees me (I think that I look like a troll most of the time) and I guess that would be a way to gage that right?
7. Look People in the eye more: I think that I have improved of this one much more thus far in the year. I still do this when I am working and that's been way better.
9. Style:
I chose this shirt because I hate the flower that I share a name with on stuff. I don't wear stuff with daisies on them. So when I saw it I rolled my eyes. Then I realized that I need to get this shirt. So, it's here. It's not my favorite but I will wear it.
10. Creativity: So, this month I wasn't able to work on my blanket. I really haven't had time to read but I in other ways I really got to be creative in other areas. Like Alaina and I are getting closer to our 16th year friendavsary. I have been driving myself nuts all month in trying to figure out what I want to do. I got all of the the plan together. I am going to be working out all the other other aspects of it in the coming months. I am very excited. The other thing that I got to work on was what my project for next year are going to be. I am working out the kinks on those still but I have a good overall plan down for those too!
11. Spoiling:
So, I bought stuff for my car! I have been wanting to get some new stuff for my few car. There are still a few more things that I want to get but I am very excited for the things that I got!
12. Peace: I feel pretty good this month! It's not where I want to be but I think that it's ok. I know that if I get the habits back down most of this stuff works itself out. I know that I will get better. I really need to take it a day at a time.
This is a story of a boy that is struggling with his past. While dealing with everything that is also happening now, and worried about the future. In high school he doesn't have many friends, and he is trying to find where he belongs. With the helps of some unlikely friends he might survive high school.
I remember when this movie came out that lots of people said how good it was. I see where people liked it. It's wasn't my thing. I liked that the main character really got to get out of his shell. Other than that, had I known the whole story I really won't have watched it.
An insurance clerk is just trying to live his life. However, his job is really not letting that happen. You see Bud lives in a very nice apartment that the high up in the company like to use in order to have their affairs away from anywhere their wives can find them. However, when Bud meets Fran, he finds that he really wants his own apartment to himself to live a life he wants to live, hopefully with Fran.
Let me tell you, this movie is still not the great to me. I have watched it and reviewed it before. I don't get it, I don't like it, and I really wish it didn't have to deal with it anymore. I don't think I am going to get that wish. It's fine for a drama but when you get Jack Lemmon and Shirley McClain together you really want something that is funnier.
The meal for this movie was Bild-Your-Own Turkey and Cranberry Club with Roasted Sweet Potato Coins and the drink was a Rum Collins
The Sandwich was really good! I have never really made a Thanksgiving sandwich in my life so I was really surprised by how good it really was. I am not a fancy sandwich person. Give me deli meat and some bread and I am good to go. However, all of the stuff that I had to put on made me nervous cause I thought that it was going to be too much and it really wasn't. I was very surprise. I did try this drink and it wasn't very good. I think it was just too much!
A free spirited young girl is doing her best to get some money together to support herself, and her brother when he gets out of the army. With a mysterious past, and a questionable way of living her new neighbor is intrigued. He doesn't have the best record of "living right" either and neither judges the other in what they are doing. Over time they get to know all about each other but is it enough to make things work out?
So, this is a movie that I hated the first time I watch it and I have slowing been understanding it over the years. I know that I could look up online what other think or feel about this movie, but I honestly rally didn't get it until I watched it last year. Now I am starting to understand why it's the classic that it has come to be. So, i would recommend this movie and I am glad that I got to watch it again.
The lovely meal that I got to enjoy was Cardamom-Cinnamon Twists and the drink was Soyer Au Champagne with Berries. The twists were delicious and easy to make, and drink was ok. I am not finding that I really don't like brandy. I think if I made the drink again I would make it without the brand and try something else like rum. However, it was refreshing, I mean who doesn't like and excuse to have ice cream?
Chad just got out of the army and back home to Hawaii! However, what awaits him is not something that he wants. He really wants to spend his time on his surf board and not take over the family business. So, he doesn't tell his parents that he is home. He hangs out at the beach for almost a week to avoid the subject. However, Elvis sings ands dancing his himself in to how he wants to life his life. Not without getting into a little bit of trouble at first.
How fitting is it that and Elvis movie lands on the same month of his passing at 42 years old. He is 26 in the movie and it just makes me sad. Really it makes me more said because I have watched that new Elvis movie 12 times since it came out in June. So, knowing a little bit more about his career and stuff it makes me sad. However, I have always loved this Elvis movie. I have seen love is terrible Elvis movies because my friend Bradley loves Elvis and the levels of bad movies Elvis is insane. It's sad but true.
The meal was Coconut Fish Curry with Mai Tais.
I was really excited about the curry because I love the lamb curry Alaina and I made a while back. I also had a really good curry at the restaurant Alaina and went to not that long ago. However, this one wasn't the great. I am not sure if it was because I did something wrong, or if it was the fish. I am not sure. So, if I made it again I would give the original one more shot to see if it was me or the meal, and then make adjustments from there. The drink was ok. there was this syrup I had to make that I didn't really like and I think next time I will just not make the syrup, or buy one that's already made, and try again.
The month has been insane so I was not able to get four meals done, I only got the three. So, September I will have four meals and the the rest of the year will be less. I am nervous about some of the meals that are coming up and also bout some of the movies. So, it's gonna be interesting. I very excited to see how this works out.
