better things

i've been pretty negative lately, but today got me thinking. it's time for me to start focusing on the positives because, really life isn't all that bad. for instance, take the pictures i posted a few weeks ago, the ones of the beautiful california sky. well, it turns out the sky is like that every night. and every day this week has been 60 degrees and sunny. really there's no room for complaint when you're walking around in flip flops and short sleeves under a bright sunny sun. i mean, isn't nature the grandest of all wonders and most beautiful of beauties? i get to enjoy as much of it as i want, and that's a great thing. my smiling carrot friend thinks so.

speaking of sun, i eat sunnyside up eggs at least once a week. other days i eat over-medium or scrambled eggs or omelets. sometimes i just go with a banana and nature's valley peanut bar. or a toasted bagel with peanut butter. and everything with a tall glass of fattening milk. the point being here is that breakfast is awesome, and living at home is great because the fridge is always stocked with fresh ingredients. nevermind that i buy all the ingredients and i could have eaten breakfast in college if i woke up earlier, but at least the kitchen is really clean.

i bought a scale the other day. my dad saw it and, after a look of astonishment, asked why i had to get such a sexy one. but other than being sexy, it measures my weight, which i record in an excel sheet that i've simply labeled "Regimen". i've been noticing an upward trend as of a few days ago. lately i've been battling some 'rhea so there was a slight decline... but over a few months it'll be a fine little data set. maybe i can write a thesis on it.
