Pushing Those Limits

This week has been a big challenge for me physically.

Everyday I have either worked out, danced or both. I can feel it in every part of my aching body too. My joints hurt, my feet are sore, my knees and back are bruised and I love every minute of it!

It has pushed my knee and ankle to their limits. I can't even remember the last time my ankle really got swollen but it sure did last night. Luckily Josh went out and bought me an awesome ice pack. My knee has been hurting but it is always hard to tell if it is because it is actually hurt or because it is so flipping cold outside!

It has been a great first week of my last semester :)

Cabin Fever

I find it funny that when I get Cabin Fever I get productive.

I've loved having this time off but I am going stir crazy. Case and point the house. Since this break started I have reorganized every room in the house but the bath room and Megan's bedroom. I've done loads of dishes, witch is the one chore I don't have to do here. We bought a bookshelf and moved all of Josh's and my's movies onto it. This caused us to move the chair and to reorganize the bookshelves in the other room. I've cleaned out the drawers in my bedroom and threw out a bunch of stuff that I don't need anymore. I even got Josh to get rid of some of his old shirts. I even cleaned off my vanity and made it much more usable.

I have also found loads of time to cook and bake. It has been wonderful! It is something that I have always loved to do but just never really have the time for. I know that once classes start tomorrow the only real day I will have time to cook a big meal will be on Sundays. Other days I will have to make due with the fast recipes that I have found.

I will be sad to see this free/productive time go but at the same time I am so ready to be busy again. I also know that after I graduate I wont always be busy with things I like to do so I guess I will embrace this time while I have it.

Resolutions

I'm normally not big on New Years resolutions. They don't get kept or I forget about them. This year I plan on doing some that I think I can actually do.

1. 365 Picture Project: This is something I have wanted to do for a while but decided to wait until the new year to start. You have to take at least one picture every day of the year. I have already put up my first one on Facebook!

2. No Jeans for 1 month. I read about this on Collegefashion.net I wear a lot of jeans so I think this will be a fun challenge for me.

3. Another idea from college fashion, One month dedicated to dresses. I own a few dresses so this wont be the hardest thing in the world but I think the fun part will be finding new ways to wear the dresses so they don't get boring.

4. Read at least one book that is a classic that I just never got around to reading before.


That is were I am starting for now.


Cheers to 2011!
