Last night as I curled up in bed with Lifetime on, I prepared myself for what I knew would be an emotional hour of television. Their new show “Coming Home” was premiering, and since I couldn’t even make it through the commercials without tearing up I was trying to mentally prepare myself. Sure enough I spent a good deal of the show crying like a baby. Especially when the little kids would cry, that got me every time. Damn you Lifetime. It really is an adorable show though.
Since yesterday was a pretty boring day, I don’t really have much to talk about today. I watched a lot of Criminal Minds, the Caps game, decided I should definitely not be allowed to read baby blogs, and did some laundry. I was very excited to have nice clean sheets to curl up in last night, so of course I woke up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. Typical. At least I had clean sheets for a few hours.
Looking at my calendar this morning, I was informed that Lent starts today (I’m such a good Catholic girl) uuuh I doubt I’ll give anything up. I’ll also probably still eat meat on Friday’s. In my high school days, I used to use Lent as an excuse to restrict things from my diet. I would give up meat, chips, soda, all in an effort to try to lose weight, and I wasn’t the only one. I went to an all girls Catholic high school, and it almost seemed like a competition as to who could give up the most impressive thing. Lunch time in the spring was a sad sight, as too many girls picked their way through their meal, throwing most of it away. So yeah, I won’t be participating, as I haven’t in many years.
I have a feeling I’ll be spending most of today browsing hair styles online (mine gets chopped tomorrow) and making an extensive packing list for this weekend. It’s looking like my rain boots will have to make the trip, so whatever little space in my brain was still contemplating carry on only has officially been eliminated. I’ll be checking a bag. That just means I can pack more clothes. Or go shopping and buy a lot of stuff ;). Alright, well have a good Monday!

I haven’t washed my sheets in a few weeks. I’m pretty gross. I should do that tonight. Thanks for the reminder.
I’ve never even heard of Coming Home. I was too busy watching a marathon of Holly’s World to watch anything else this weekend.
Hahaha I won’t even admit to how long it had been since I washed them. Oh Holly’s World. That one sucks me in too.
I just had to look that show up – sounds good! But yes… tear jerker!
Yeah, I bawled.
Ah, yes– lent!!! I completely forgot…oops!
Happy Monday, girl!
I always forget. I really am the worst Catholic ever.
I have to ban myself from Criminal Minds. That show scares the crap out of me, but its so damn good.
I haven’t heard of Coming Home. I wonder if its on tv in Canada. We miss out on all the good stuff.
Hahaha maybe that’s why I’ve been having weird dreams?!
Ah, I went to an all girls Catholic high school and we did the exact same thing. No bueno.
Sill all girls schools.
The lent inall-girl high school thing sounds familiar. Especially since Lent usually lead right up to Prom.
Yup. Pretty sad.
Ugh, the sweat thing happens to me too. So annoying. I hate changing my sheets.
Happened again last night. I am destined to have sweaty sheets.
Coming Home was so good! I look forward to crying every Sunday night, ha! And lent, i actually add things to do. Working on my health, focusing on not emotionally eating and bettering myself is what i’m working on 🙂
