THE PATRIOTS WON!!!! THE PATRIOTS WON!!!!
I was a little concerned because, going into last night's game, I hadn't picked one single winner in any of the playoff games. I rooted for the Bengals and then the Vikings. I rooted for the Redskins. I even rooted for the Colts, a fact that made my father-in-law proud but caused my stomach to hurt. I then rooted for the Broncos (because I really dislike the Ravens, despite their literary based name) and the Packers.
But I put on my lucky tee shirt (seriously, the Pats haven't lost a game this season when I've been wearing that shirt) and paced around. I swore at the refs (a lot) and didn't truly relax until the time ran out and my boys in blue were the victors.
And next weekend, I get to do it all over again. (somewhere The Man is groaning and plotting a trip to anywhere) Woo Hoo!
Moving on...
Last Monday I posted a list of four goals that I meant to accomplish during the week. And here's the funny thing... I actually did it. Early even. I finished the fourth and final goal on Thursday afternoon. I really didn't know what to do with myself then. Sad, I know, but true.
1. Work out at least three times this week.
I ran/walked a total of 10.5 miles last week. Not a lot, I know, but last year I only ran/walked a total of 10 miles the entire month of January. This would be more.
2. Write a workable draft of a book blurb.
I am now the proud-ish owner of a book blurb draft. It's quite possibly the worst thing I've ever written but it's a jumping off point, right? I thought briefly about sharing said blurb draft with you so y'all could tear it apart and tell me how to make it better, but it's so bad it's embarrassing so maybe I'll just take another crack at it first.
3. Clear out the jeans I no longer wear and put them in the 'donate' pile.
Six pairs of jeans, three pairs of corduroy pants into the pile and all of a sudden, I no longer look like I hoard denim. Just novels.
4. Get a freaking haircut.
I was concerned this would be the goal I would fail at because that would truly be ridiculous but I went to a salon in town and begged them for a walk-in appointment. I'm pretty sure the hairdresser took one look at me and figured it was her civic duty to help the helpless so she squeezed me in. Fortunately, she has German shepherds so we had something to talk about. I don't know if you know this about me but I kind of suck at small talk.
But I survived the social interaction (all fifteen minutes of it) and decided to celebrate by taking a couple of days off. I went to the movies, as I promised myself I would, and saw both Les Miserables and The Hobbit. I'm tempted to post a mini review of each but that'll have to wait until another day.
Because right now, it's time to talk about this week's goals...
1. Work out at least three times this week.
It worked out (haha...) so well last week so why not, right?
2. Take another pass at the book blurb to make it something less embarrassing.
It's really bad, y'all. I am not kidding.
And I also think that's all for goals. For this week at least. I'm sure I'll think of something to add to it later.
What are your goals for the week?
