on thinking at work...

there are a lot of times when i'm at work having brilliant conversations in my head or with customers. every time this happens i think about how i need to go home and write about it--whatever it may be. but i don't. and not for any particular reason. it is just how it is.

oh, and i forgot my password.

password changed. access reinstated. so here i am.

with nothing in particular to write about.

perhaps i'll write every day for the month of may? but i doubt that.

i used to have a professor that would encourage a "personal improvement project", or pip, at the start of every semester. it was so highly encouraged that it was part of our grade. of course the completion wasn't necessary as long as we were able to adequately reflect on our effort or lack thereof. i should do this more often.

that being said, i suppose that the pip for the month of april (which flew by so under the radar that i missed my best friend's birthday and didn't even change my calendar) would have been reading the Holy Bible. i bought an esv bible sometime in 2010 and i started the daily reading plan that was in the back of the bible in january. they say that it takes 21 days to create a habit. well, i read for 20 days and then stopped. i picked it back up about thirty-two days ago and i'm pretty stoked about my progress and commitment.

also, in the month of april i started reading and praying through "the power of a praying wife" consistently. i really enjoy the same "power of" book for parents... i can attest to the works of God through prayer that i learned through that book and i can't wait to see God move in my marriage.

so... i just need to keep up with that stuff through the month of may.

i thought about doing the hot yoga challenge--thirty days of yoga. i just don't know if i can make that commitment, yet. they don't have the schedule online for may so i can't even pretend to see how it aligns with my schedule. more to come, i suppose.

the baby is having problems with his skin. because he isn't really eating anything except the occasional peas and pears we're assuming that it is something i'm consuming. which means that i'm going to have to take it out of my diet. i'm not quite ready for the elimination diet; i, after all, like to eat. however, i don't like seeing my baby bothered in any way, especially to the point i've seen lately.

beginning tomorrow i'm starting a food diary and taking daily pictures. i'll get a few days into this before i make any further changes. more to come on that, as well.

ah... more to come, more to come. but for now, i rest.
