This evening I found myself perusing Pinterest, and reading cute little motivational sayings and totally unconfirmed "facts" about the general benefits of running, eating certain foods, ect. I was overwhelmed by the stunning pictures of sparklingly clean and flawlessly decorated rooms, and floored by just what could be created with a few beads and some glue. I began to have visions of myself as a Pinterest Person, one who rises early to exercise, drinking tea whilst having a quiet time, and then donning a handmade apron to become the paragon of housecleaning virtues required to keep up her family's expansive and beautiful home. "This is who I will be" I told myself--and then I remembered my most recent Saturday...
I arose at the cheerful hour of 11:45, and stalked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee, ignoring the pile of dishes Jack and Wils had already accumulated. Back in my room, I visited all of my favorite websites, finally settling down on fanfiction.com, to read a lovely story about Anne of Green Gables' grandchildren. This took up a great deal of my day, but I still had time to catch up on some TV shows online, while knitting and eating "lunch" (if that's what you call my 3:00 meal). I did go for a brief "run" (45 second jog, 1 minute walk/desperate wheeze and reflection on my hatred of movement). This composed my day. I am not a Pinterest Person. But I want to be.
Thus the lengthy post about my feelings. I shall provide you, dear readers (Nana, Jenn) with a idealized schedule for the morrow, and will post tomorrow evening about how well I fared.
