Hello everyone!! And happy Aprils Fools to you too!!

Today was an amazing day!!

Only because my boyfriend had the day off (which is awesome and not cool at the same time!)

So we took the time and ate lunch at Roberta's! And it was yummy!! It was the first time I had Speck... which is herbed filled ham? or salami? Basically should be renamed delish!

Till my next food adventure!!

Hello everyone!!

Happy Ash Wednesday!

To those you don't know what Ash Wednesday is, it's the start of a 40-ish day period where Christians and Catholics "fast". It is a reflection on the 40 days that Christ was fasting in the dessert and endured temptations from Satan.

Not trying to be too religious but I do practice this too. And this year, I decided to give up convenience. What does that mean and why am I doing that?

Well you see, I could have gone the easy way and got rid of drinking or soda or sweets but 1.) I do that every year and I fail and 2.) that's the easy way out... 

And then it hit me... that's the easy way out! And that I am subconsciously very, very lazy.

And with that, I created a list for me to "fast" from... and here it is-

  1. I cannot take the easy commute. I can only take mass transit if it is taking me either to a different borough or state.
  2. I cannot buy fast food. I must either plan 1 days in advance or make my own lunch.
  3. I cannot use an ATM for easy money withdrawals or deposits. I must go to a bank teller for any bank stuff.
  4. I cannot go to a convenience store/ pharmacies for any purchases. 
  5. I cannot do anything for the "convenience of now". In order for a plan to happen, it must be planned 1 day in advance.
  6. I cannot impulse buy any materials, unless planned 1 day in advance. 

And it started today... and boy... IT SUCKS!!! 

I mean, it's such a good lent idea... but it sucks for the lazy person in me.

Anyway keep me on track, guys! I got 46 more days to go!

Till next time!
