How To Fail Successfully

"Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it." ~Plato


Yesterday I went running in the rain with the dog. It was a miserable experience. I don't think I'm too the point yet where I'm like "I have to run, even if it's through fire!" Yeah - it was a miserable experience for both Chewy (the dog) and I. And... it's raining again today. This is putting quite the damper on my marathon goals.

I can tell that today is going to be a day of I don'ts:
  • I don't want to go to work
  • I don't want to workout
  • I don't want to get off the couch
  • I don't want to watch what I'm eating
Updates:
Work: I'm going today... that's about all on that. Lawl
Love: Been totally, crazy in-love with my man the last couple days... even more than usual.
Zombies: Per recommendation, I will be taking pictures of safe zombie hideouts and putting them online.

Going to workout now... there's a goal for that right?

Failure Is Not An Option

"If we hole up I want to be somewhere familiar, I want to know where the exits are, and I want to be allowed to smoke." -- Ed, Shaun of the Dead

Today I decided to start blogging again. My goal: to document the fact that I tried, even if I don't succeed. Failure may not be an option, but I'm sure as hell determined to flirt with the idea. And if failure isn't an option, why is it so readily available everywhere I turn? Am I just not viewing the world the right way? Perhaps there's a more Superman-esque approach in which I can just fly really fast and turn time backwards if I don't like the outcome. Oh, Hollywood - how you toy with my emotions.

Updates:
Work: I just checked my work email for the 2nd time today. It's my day off.
Love: SO just took a picture of me curled up on the chair and is refusing to show it to me.
Zombies: I got too distracted looking up information about zombies to finish this post... go figure. (P.s. Save yourselves!)

Completely un-related (okay, slightly related), all the things I want to do:
  • buy an iPad (don't judge me!)
  • be a marathon runner (sadly... running is involved, but it's a nice idea)
  • go back to school and get my degree (already signed up so I can't back out now. Ha!)
  • learn to knit
  • learn to play Piano
  • read more often (without falling asleep)
  • write more often (blogging totally counts)
