A reason why...

It is POURING here in Austin right now and I'm loving it, but I will say that this weather always reminds me why I should never live in the Pacific Northwest...I would never get anything done.

Days like this I wish I had a laptop so I could curl up in bed and work from there. To me, rainy days are best spent curled up in bed with a good book or on the couch with a favorite movie. This is fine somewhere like Austin where the rain is few and far between, but I don't think that would fly if I lived where it rained all the time.

Anyone else get really unproductive on dark rainy days? Excuse me while I go make myself some coffee and attempt to get things done.

Bring on the rain...

I love the idea of a good rain and how it's as if everything is wiped clean. The morning after a big storm everything is the same and yet, everything's different...

Lately I've been working on waking up early. I've let myself get away with getting out of bed a little later than I'd like the past few months, although many nights I'm up past midnight working on things. I've been trying to change this habit slowly, but I decided that this week I would just do it whether I was tired or not.

Yesterday went perfectly, I woke up early and hopped right out of bed and got to work. Let's just say that today didn't go so well. My alarm went off and I was actually alert (this never happens), but then I looked over at Dave and he looked so peaceful that I couldn't help but to lay my head on his chest and drift back off to sleep. I thought I had reset my alarm, but I thought wrong. Next thing I knew it was 10:30. Dangit.

I'm trying not to beat myself up about it, I'll do better tomorrow. I just hate that it only took until day 2 for me to crack. That's the beauty of it though, tomorrow is another day and we can try again at the things we failed at today.
