Uh-Oh

My nose is running, my eyes feel droopy and my head is starting to hurt. That can only mean one thing, I am getting sick. And that is the worst possible thing. As if trying to adjust to sleeping in the daylight and working all night isn't bad enough, trying to do it when all I am going to want to do is sleep will be even worse.
Not to mention I have finally started working out and eating healthy and being sick always throws that off, because I have no energy to work out and all I want to eat is chicken noodle soup and crackers. Hopefully I am blowing things way out of proportion and tomorrow I will be fine, but if not wish me luck!

Fun Undies!!

I know this may seem strange to blog about, but I bought new bras and panties yesterday and I'm excited!! I was never a big believer in the need to have your bra and panties match, but I have recently discovered that doing so is fun! So I got four new bras and three new pairs of panties to match.
I have recently decided that feeling sexy (something I have always struggled with) starts underneath your clothes and if you have cute (or sexy) underwear on your going to feel better about yourself all day!
After all no one wants to wear granny panties.

Fail

If I were to be keeping track of how well I was doing at keeping my two resolutions (I posted about them earlier) it would be Resolutions-1 Paige-0. Earlier today, against, my first resolution I freaked out at my boyfriend for something tiny and insignificant. Something I had hoped to not do anymore. I know, I know I can't be perfect and people slip up sometimes but still.
In other news I know have black-out curtains, which said boyfriend so kindly put up for me, and I think it helped me sleep a lot better, which is always good news!
That is really all for now but as always I will keep you posted.

Lack of Sleep=No Adventures

I know this blog is called the daily adventures of P, but I haven't been sleeping well or very much and that makes for a lack of adventures, because all I do all day is sleep or lounge on the couch because I'm too tired to do anything else.
I did venture out to go hang out with some friends Saturday night only to fall asleep on Nicole's bed, bad news.
Yesterday I (well John) bought black out curtains for the bedroom, which hopefully will help me sleep better!!
I'm hoping to get caught upon my sleep and feel more like doing things, so my blog will be more interesting! Wish me luck.

Pajama Day

You know those days when you don't get out of your pajamas all day? I've had one of those days, I put my pj's on when I got home from work at 8:30 in the morning and haven't got out of them in the 18 hours since. It is amazing! And just exactly what I needed, no where to be or nothing really important to do. I must admit adjusting to working 40 hours a week and at night nonetheless has been a challenge for me. I constantly feel like sleeping and when I do manage to be awake I don't feel like doing anything productive. So this pj day was just what I needed to recharge and tomorrow hopefully I'll finally get somethings done on my day off. Sure I could be cleaning or doing other productive thing, but lets be honest when is anyone ever productive in their pajamas? So I think I'll got watch some old Sex and the City episodes.

Perfect

I discovered the most amazing song yesterday, its called Fucking Perfect by Pink (sorry to those of you that might offend) but it is incredible. It is pretty much about how no one is perfect and we need to stop being so hard on ourselves and that being imperfect is what makes us perfect. K so I'm pretty sure that didn't make sense but just listen to the song and you'll understand what I mean.
It's amazing that we can see all the great things about other people and usually insist on telling them on a regular basis but can't figure out how to do the same thing for ourselves. I know it seems strange that I of all people would be writing about this because if I had to pick my biggest fault (and trust me I have many) it would be being to hard on myself. I'll never be skinny enough, pretty enough, smart enough or whatever. But enough of that shit.
Along with my resolution to let go and have more fun (see yesterday's post if you missed that) my second resolution is to stop being so hard on myself. I have a good job, an amazing family and boyfriend, the cutest puppy in the entire world and awesome friends. Yes I may be overweight, something I'd like to change, but obviously there are other people in the world (friends, family, boyfriend) that could care less. Even with all those people backing me up I still find ways to bring myself down, why do I do that? Why do we do that? As Pink says "I'm done looking for the critics cause they're everywhere." Besides being perfect is no fun, trust me I've tried, so here's to embracing what I've got and letting go of the past. And I think that would be perfect.

A Fresh Start?

Well hello again world, yes I know I'm a terrible blogger, oops. But anyways the new year has made think of a few things. Many people somehow seem to think that a new year is a fresh start, but can that really be true?
Do you wake up feeling any different new year's day than you do any other day (except for maybe hungover)? People set new year's resolutions hoping that this will finally be the year they lose weight, get organized, stop smoking, whatever, but I wonder what makes them think this year will be any different?
I know I sound like a huge pessimist but I'm one of those people too. Every year for as long as I can remember I tell myself that at the beginning of the year I'm going to start working out and eating right, but here I am still overweight.
People always say you have to make things happen, but I haven't really figured out how to do that yet. I think I just sit around and wait for things to happen. I'm one of those people that have to have every detail of things planned out or I go crazy but I think some days that is what's holding me back.
So I think this year my "resolution" is going to be to make things happen. Finally become a decision maker and be spontaneous every now and then. We'll see how things go and I'll try and keep you updated by blogging more than once every six months.
