A Few Things I'm Learning...

Some random musings on things I've learned (or rediscovered) recently:

• I actually like waking up at 5:00am to go work out. I used to think it was a necessary evil, but turns out I like it.
• I like showering & getting ready at the gym. It's nice not to have all the morning distractions of my house around, so I'm forced to get ready and get out.
• I love George Winston. He is my idol on the piano.
  
• I do not need a lot of space at all. In fact, I quite like being in small space. When I grew up, my favorite room was my bathroom - I would hang out there, do my homework there, etc. I like the "den" feel of smaller spaces.
  
• I have absolutely no need for a television.
  
• I like making decisions. Wishy-washiness is really annoying lately.
• I like that I pick up other people's idiosyncrasies easily. It makes me feel connected to them. Good Lord! :)
  
• I adapt very easily.
  
• I love skinny lattes from Starbucks. Mocha, caramel, or cinnamon dolce are my favorites.
• I don't need that much sleep. I can sustain myself with 5 hours.
• I love to laugh. Especially at myself.
  
• I can get by without my phone. I have practiced leaving it in the car, and I get by just fine.
• I don't need other people to go out and do something. It is nice, though.
• I have no motivation to cook. Try as I may, I just don't. It's much easier to reach for cereal.
  
• I love Tide laundry detergent and Downy fabric softener. Clothes that smell good when you put them on are the best!
• I think I've kicked my dessert habit. I haven't had dessert since New Years Eve, and I still don't have much desire for it. Salt, however - I crave salt all the time lately.
  
• I am at my core a social person. There is no reason to fight it.
• Friends can come from the most unlikely people.
  
• I think I alone can keep the Mexican food restaurants of Austin open.
• I think it's physically impossible for me to work from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
  
• I would like to buy some investment properties and get more into real estate.
  
• I like walking around with my black fuzzy slippers.
  
• If I could do anything for a job, I would be a personal trainer.
• I must have art (that I like) on my walls. It is not optional for me.
  
• Making my bed every morning makes me really happy. Coming home to an unmade bed sucks.
  
• I like my hair straight much better than curly. I will schedule my workouts around when I am going to wash my hair.
  
• I am a great listener.
  
• When someone asks me to keep a secret, I will.
• I really like helping people.
  
• I can listen to the same song on repeat 20 times and not get sick of it.
• I like going out for breakfast. I will not feel guilty about eating pancakes or biscuits.
  
• I think I am officially addicted to coffee.
• I miss my mom and dad. I wish they lived in Austin.
• I work best when I have multiple projects going on. When I don't have much to do, I'm completely unproductive.
• I like weekends.
  
• I like my body.
  
• I do NOT like traveling to Houston. (I do like text message from Houston, though.)
  
• I am less emotional about work than I used to be.
• I am more emotional about my friends than I used to be.
• It is possible to operate in a mode where I am not feeling guilty all the time.
• I am happy.
