1) Be myself: Well, this one is ok. Though I'll say that I've noticed a bizarre happening- when I hang out with my friend Amanda too long, I start picking up her mannerisms. Though, this is true of most of my friends since, oh, about 8th grade. Certainly not a bad thing, just amusing.
2) CCs: Haven't used them all week, so that's good.
3) Take care of my body: well.... this one is 50/50. My friend Sirrah's "The holidays aren't over until I say so" party was perhaps a misstep in this area (what- there were pigs in a blanket! and devils on horseback! And butterscotch pie! Come ON!) But the girls and I have gotten more into planning our competition (starts on Sunday), so at least that's progress in the right direction. Likewise, even though it's cold, I've been walking to work to try to fit some sort-of exercise in. ...Can I also include the Literary Pub Crawl, which involved a lot of walking, as "exercise?" No? Aw, fine. I guess that Guiness did kind-of negate the walk, huh.
4) Mass: I didn't get to a mass this weekend- maybe next?
5) New Recipes: Already wrote a post about this earlier in the week.
6) Meditating: As I said before, I've been slacktastic on the meditation resolution in the past, and we're starting off 2010 the same way, apparently. For some reason, I haven't been sleeping well this week, so I just feel too exhausted to do it. Likewise, though I am cleaning my room bit by bit, it still seems too cluttered to really meditate in. Or, as usual, I'm just finding excuses. Now that I'll be back to the school schedule, hopefully I'll find an appropriate time to put that in.
7) Daily Prayer: not doing so bad here. The past couple days however, I've been so tired when I've been praying that my prayers end up being a bit more disjointed than I'd prefer. Hopefully, once I start sleeping better, I'll be fine.
8) Organizing and Cleaning: The cleaning my room thing is... well. It's not as clean as I'd like to to be, but it's definitely improving. This weekend, my friends and I had a photoshoot for the "00'Duong Calender" and, though a thousand things were splayed out on my bed by the end of the day, finding them in the first place was pretty easy. Likewise, when I got home, most of the things got put away again. (The rest will hopefully go back to their homes tonight) I've also got a place where I'm keeping all of my extra computer/camera/electronics/etc cords, and was able to
find the one I needed for school pretty easily this morning. (a feat in itself, since me doing anything in the morning is a bit of a crapshoot, as anyone who's seen my wardrobe choices on a workday can probably attest to) So, hopefully, I can keep progressing in the right direction. 9) Knitting a sweater: haven't started. Still working on a hat. The hat's coming out awesome though- it's my first lace stitch pattern, and it's actually looking like the picture. The picture here is not mine- just an example of the pattern I'm using. I'm using a different yarn, so the lacy pattern is more pronounced. I have a feeling I could get into using this pattern a lot.
10) Service Project: Haven't looked into service projects yet.
On a distantly related note though, check out this article!
My friend Chris has become the darling of the legal deferral programs and NYT wrote an article and produced a rather extensive video of him. Congrats, Chris!
Happy Monday, friends! It's a new week!
