Potentially funny thoughts from a local comic
I spontaneously tried to eat vegan for the third day, and I was somewhat successful. Though I did eat some eggs at breakfast because there was no other protein source available where I was staying. I also have some Dollar Tree shopping to report. I saw this monstrosity at Dollar Tree, and it turns out…
I was more mentally prepared this week than last week for Vegan Sunday. Still, it snuck up on me. Saturday night, I was like, “Oh crap, I’m eating vegan tomorrow.” However, I still hadn’t bought anything specific, like veggie burgers or tofu, to make my dining more creative or inspirational. I woke up famished this…
Yesterday morning, spur-of-the-moment, I decided to start eating vegan one day a week. I would be a full-time vegetarian if my body could take it, but I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I need a certain amount of high-quality protein in my diet, and I cannot give that up. Since I’m not a big fan…
This year, I’ve been trying to improve my outlook, my attitude, and my life. I’ve been reading books about habits: essentially if you change small habits throughout your day, you will change your life. I’m currently reading BJ Fogg’s book, “Tiny Habits.” Fogg discusses a woman who wakes up every morning at 4:30 a.m. to…
One of my goals in 2020 is to volunteer more often. I don’t volunteer much. Here’s why: I don’t like boring volunteer shifts where I sit around watching the clock. I don’t like long volunteer shifts. An ideal length of time is maybe 1.5 hours. After that, I get antsy. I don’t want to be…
How much money does the average American adult spend per year, trying to impress people? How much money did I spend last year, trying to impress people? Let’s say I went to a cabin in the woods where I wouldn’t see anyone for a month. How much money would I save? Makeup: I’d skip it….
When I was in college, I could be happy listening to music in my room and chilling out. I didn’t need to be doing anything major. Why? I had a big goal: to finish four years of college. It was nice to have forced goals back then; adult life is sort of aimless. Wouldn’t it…
A year ago, around the holidays, I had some idle time off of work, so I started getting rid of clothing that I didn’t wear, Marie Kondo style! I’ve bought a lot of clothes over the years. However, I have been unable to wear most of it. I have a sensitivity to many fabrics. I…
I have been an on-and-off vegetarian for most of my life. I stopped eating meat at age 11 when I learned that my next-door neighbors were raising bunnies to slaughter and eat! Bunnies are pets; they can’t be eaten! I never did tell my neighbors that they inspired me to become a vegetarian. Since then,…
I’ve been posting about Dollar Tree for nearly a year. There may be a few more Dollar Tree Dining posts, but I’m transitioning to new topics. I have several things I’ll be writing about. But right now, I’m thinking about morning routines. I woke up early this morning with the best of intentions: I was…
