Happy Thinking Out Loud Thursday! How’s the week treating you? Aside from some stupidly chilly, rainy weather, mine has been quite alright, and not terribly busy. My mind has been a busy, random, crazy place, though, so I thought I’d take advantage of Amanda’s linkup to share that nonsense with you today.
1.) Why do people write on bathroom stall walls?
I’ve never understood it. Why do you engage in conversation there? Are you going to come back and check for responses? Has anyone made friends this way? I’m confused.
2.) I think the last three weeks of winter quarter were prettier than the first two of spring. I’m also pretty sure something similar happened last year. For the record, I’m done with coats and scarves and hats, Mother Nature! Please bring warmth and sunshine. Thank you.
3.) I’ve mentioned the weather can totally affect my mood. Yesterday, I walked to and from class with cool rain blowing under my umbrella. I felt a little sluggish all day. Coincidence? Maybe, but it sure didn’t feel like it.
4.) Aaaand on sluggish days, I don’t usually feel like eating adult food. You know, some most days I’m pretty good about getting healthy, produce-packed meals. Other days, I eat several bowls of Greek yogurt + cereal + pistachios for dinner, plus lots of snacks. Yesterday was one of those days. Also, I made a bit of a twist on these brownies and had a few. I’ll share ’em when I get them perfect. 😉
5.) Something I think is already pretty perfect?
These frozen PB&J Banana Bites I made for Fit University. They’re creamy and sweet and an awesome way to combine those classic childhood flavors. I still have a few in my freezer. 😉
6.) You know how I mentioned stupid cubic tissue box design yesterday? Can I elaborate? See, when you open the box, there are too many tissues inside, so when you grab one tissue to get it out, it rips. The next couple usually do the same. Then, there’s the point when there are too many in there to just come out when you pull, but rather than ripping, it just lifts the entire box up. There’s a very short sweet spot in the middle of the box, where you can grab the popped-up tissue and not get the whole box. THAT is what should happen. But then you get to the end and the box has so few tissues that when you pull one up, it’s so light that the whole box comes with it. Finally, the last four tissues are all folded into each other so you can’t get one when you want one. Is this an insignificant problem? Absolutely. But why hasn’t someone designed a better small tissue box?
7.) Part of needing to schedule myself is going to be finding a consistent yoga routine again. (It might make me care less about silly things than tissue boxes…)
I’m good at telling myself I should spend that hour and a half(ish) doing something else. Anyone wanna be my accountability buddy? 😉
And that’s all for me for today! Have a lovely Thursday!
What’s your biggest pet peeve? I have no idea what mine is, but it’s not tissue boxes. Maybe untidiness? Or lack of punctuality?
Are there any goals you’re working on right now?
Anything else I should know?
My biggest pet peeve is spitting or “hocking a luge” in the sink, especially after you brush your teeth. Some people don’t even wash it down the drain! EW! It’s the sound of it that kills me. I cringe inside. A goal I’m working towards is full recovery in my legs by Sunday so I can run another race. They’re feeling better, but not at 100%
I’ll be honest, I sometimes love reading the graffiti hahahaha so creative
