Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy (by Back2the80sagain)
I could spend all day looking up awesomely odd music videos… In fact, if I’m still ill tomorrow, it’s probably what I’ll be doing.

Grocery Shopping.
I went to Publix today with my sister. I love Publix. Unfortunately, I hadn’t been there in a couple of weeks to really grocery shop and have been eating out a lot. If you’ve never been to Publix they have a huge scale in the front of the store and I check my weight periodically. We went in today, I excitedly ran to the scale like a twelve year old and hopped on.
Much to my dismay… I’ve gained ten pounds… not in a year… not in 6 months… in 2 weeks.
Usually I weigh myself after shopping on my way out. I’m glad I did it first this time because it had a great influence on what I purchased on the trip. No soda, no cookies, no meat. I did pick up some Kashi granola bars because I didn’t want to deprive my self of sweets entirely.
Also, shopping with my sister is dangerous business. Usually when I go to the grocery store, I have a list, I go in, I get out. My sister likes to browse. I ended up spending way more money than I originally planned because I kept finding things I “needed” as we went up and down every single aisle. I still made healthy selections… but still spent too much.
We were in the store for about an hour, when I go to the store by myself I’m usually not in there for more than 15 minutes. We got home and put everything away and I made myself an egg, one piece of toast and pan roasted some tomatoes and mushrooms. People are always amazed that I don’t work out but stay thin… it’s called dieting. I don’t do crash diets or take pills. I just cut out the fat and eat more veggies and less sugar until I lose the weight… then I usually reward myself with cookies and cake and chocolates and all sorts of yummies that I am now thinking about.
Long boring story short: Weigh yourself BEFORE grocery shopping.

"This Is Why I'll Never Be An Adult" - Hyperbole and a Half
I recently fell in love with the meme “All The Things!” (I’m not really hip to the most recent memes because, well, I want somewhat of a life outside the interwebs) Someone had commented that the meme originated from Allie and her blog “Hyperbole and a Half.” That is all it takes to make me frantically search for the source of this funny. I found it in her “This is Why I’ll Never Be an Adult” post and after reading it I can definitely relate. I think being displeased with my life situation is what causes me to go through similar cycles which are explained in the post.
. Regardless, please read the blog, it is funny and true. -

Frustration.
I try to be zen most of the time and not get too angry about trivial things. However, when one day is full of trivial annoyances, I tend to get anxious and stressed very easily. Today is one of those days. I also have to be careful because when I do get anxious and stressed, I make snap decisions. Not usually regrettable ones, but as an indecisive person, it tends to cause more stress until things level out again and then I usually feel way better. I have some big decisions to make and when certain people push the wrong buttons I tend to want to make up my mind as if I were ripping off a band-aid.
I don’t know if any of that made sense but yeah, I’m not particularly pleased with the events and actions of others today.

Time to downsize.
Hello, my name is Claudia, and I am a collector. I collect books. Comics. Action figures/toys. Clothes. Shoes. Dvds. Records. Art… I have downsized my collections before, out of necessity when moving but I haven’t moved in quite some time and when I moved cross country I didn’t take much with me, since my room at my sister’s would be unused anyway.
I have made the difficult decision to become a minimalist. This is the main reason I have deactivated my Facebook for the time being. I need to spend more time with myself.
This process will start with cleaning out my drawers and closets and getting rid of clothes and shoes.
The second step, which will be the most difficult, will be my books. I’m not going to get rid of all the books but a majority. Hopefully at least 75%.
Third, toys. I love them. I want to keep collecting them but they require a lot of space and most just sit in their boxes in my closet. I will keep a select few and mostly ones that were gifts.
Next, I need to get rid of my records. I love them but I don’t even own a record player at the present and I feel like if I want to start collecting them again, I’ll always be able to track down the ones I want. There are a couple I’ll keep for sentimental reasons.
DVDs are not a problem. My ex still has pretty much my entire collection. I would like to have them because I love movies but that’s one step I don’t currently have to worry about.
As far as my art… you’d have to kill me.
