This weekend was full of thing that I should have done, but didn't. I'm going to blame it on the running. You see, we had a lovely little 14-miler scheduled for Saturday, which we started at least an hour later than planned, and let's just say: it takes a long stinkin' time to run that far. Not only that, I didn't enjoy one single minute of it. I'm feeling pretty discouraged about running, but I feel like we've come too far to quit. Maybe this week's runs will be better.
But anyway: after the run, I was exhausted and pretty much didn't want to do any of the things that I had planned on doing, which means I need to get to work this week. As is typical, I'm more drawn to the things I want to do than the things I need to do. Why am I like that??
Here's what I need to do this week:
(1) research things for my team's presentation in Thailand (must have at least part of this done before Saturday)
(2) work on learning Thai
(4) get out fall/winter clothes; put away spring/summer clothes
(5) compile a Christmas list of the things I want to get people as well as a list of things that I would like (why do I not want to do this?)
Here's what I want to do instead:
(1) read War & Peace (seriously - I can barely put it down)
(2) shop for inexpensive navy blue shoes (I found some I liked last week - they were on sale, but I talked myself out of buying them, then when I decided that I could buy them, they were back to full price and now I can't decide if I should get them or not - because, really: how often do I need navy shoes?)
(3) make more useless lists on my blog
(4) anything other than what I should be doing.
I say buy the shoes. Nothing makes an outfit like the perfect pair of shoes. That's why I have resolved to a) never get rid of perfectly good shoes, no matter how much time passes before I wear them again, and b) always buy shoes I love, because, if I really love them, I'll find a way to wear them.
