GET IT, GET IT

I am writing this while Typepad's login system is down (DAMN IT! I HAVE THINGS TO SAY!) as an e-mail to myself to then later post it here on my blog. I know that's not you guys need to know, but it clarifies things for me on this end.
 
OK, so other than snafu, let's see, what to write about today. I am still determined to make my 500+ words tonight.
 
Went to work today, had a pretty good day, and while it was busy, it was good. I work in customer service and deal with both the pleasure of ringing people up and dealing with crazy returns. But the customers I all deal with have all been incredible; we are all on the same page of making sure that the customer is outfitted for whatever activity they are going to try. And Happy customers make for happy employees. We're selling more than products; we're selling experience and knowledge. And it's awesome.
 
And speaking of awesome, I'm putting it out there, out into the ether, out for the universe to hear- I will run a marathon at Disney World. But to do that, I gotta get my ass training. 
 
So tomorrow I will find myself doing a little trail running with a coworker/friend, and thus starts my adventure to making sure I get to Disney.
 
My new goal will also fit in with the whole going back to the gym and getting back into shape. This should also help give me a clearer picture of my goals, because while hitting a particular weight or body type, actually being able to do something like run a marathon kind of puts everything into perspective that what I worked so hard to do will culminate into something. I am both terrified and excited.
 
But again, I just need to push myself to be able to do this with gusto and correctly, in a healthy and safe way. I have a tendency to rush into things and not finish them, so this is a longer term goal I need to make sure I don't give up on. Much like writing in this blog and finishing school. Lots of long term goals I didn't realize were long term goals. Wow! GET IT GABS!
 
Now here is where things get quite sketchy. It's going to snow on Saturday, and while I do have the day off, I was hoping to hit up the gym that day, or get some running done (it's cold btw, but I think I'm getting used to it...that can't be a good thing). So here is hoping that the weather won't be too bad for the rest of January because if not, there go the majority of my plans.

And on an entirely random note. My 31st birthday is in about 13 days, and I have no idea what I am going to do, or what I want to do. All I know is that every time I make plans, I have to break them. So here is hoping for something, anything really. I just want to be happy. I think that should be a decent goal to have.
 
IT'S ALL ABOUT GOALS WITH ME! GAH!

STARTING...AGAIN?

Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. It seems to be a constant trend no? And it’s not like I don’t have the time to update this and actually keep track of… well everything. A routine is what I need, but how do I hold on to a routine when work doesn’t allow me to? Meaning that my schedule varies week to week, and I’ve just started school again (yay?), and I need to start getting my butt into the gym again. Ok. So that’s what I’ll do. I will set a routine, or attempt to. I will sit down either at this laptop or my phone and just write. Doesn’t matter what I write, as long as I put letters together to make words, to then makes sentences, to then make paragraphs, etc etc. Start. Stop. Start. Stop. Let’s leave this on a Start

Be a Super.

I'm gonna be honest. I really don't feel like doing this today. I physically do not feel good, and there's a bunch of stuff currently going on behind the scenes that I just don't want to discuss in a public space. It might be like this for a while, so these posts are probably going to be short for a bit. Sorry. Day 2: A person you admire. I think I covered something similar last month, and I think I said something along the lines that people can always let you down so try not to put much hope in other people. And considering how the mighty have fallen all over, its hard to have heroes. So I'm going to go with the fictional kind. I've been reading a lot of old Wonder Woman Comics, and the more I read, and the more I move away from the movie representation (which I love btw), the more I look to a fictional character for strength. And this isn't the first time I do this. It's very easy for me to look to fictional characters for inspiration and str...

Which definition?

Day 27: Conversely, write about something that's kicking ass right now.  This feels like an AP English assignment, that is if I'm understanding the use of the word "Conversely". Most white allies would rather not use their privilege for anything other than making a small statement, although conversely some white allies will be kick ass like Jessica Chastain and use her position of power to make sure her costar Octavia Spencer be paid the same as she, using her white privilege for good. That is the standard definition and use of "Conversely" that I am aware of. Or do they mean "conversationally"? In that case: Did you guy hear how Jessica Chastain is totally kicking ass right now? From what I read online, she saw that her friend and co-star Octavia Spencer was getting the same amount of pay that she was getting for the same project. So instead of just stating her objection like most white allies, she actually did something about it. She to...
