DAY EIGHT (Thursday 11/22/12)

I've been MIA from the blog for a few days.  I debated doing an accumulated day (4 days in 1), but decided I should go back to these days and recall them individually for the purpose of tracking my growth.

But I'll still keep it brief, so we can all catch up fast...

1 - Wake Up @ 6:00am

     It was Thanksgiving.  I was at home in Iowa.  I did not get up at 6:00am.  I was observing the holiday by being thankful for an extra hour of sleep.  I woke up at 7:00am and went for a run on the good ol' Lily Ave. blacktop.

2 - Scottish Shower

     Pretty sure the water in rural Iowa was the coldest yet.  Another thing I noticed...after spending over 18 years showering in that basement bathroom, this was the first instance that when I got out of the shower, the mirrors weren't fogged up for a half hour.  Kind of cool (pun)... no steam!

3 - No Television

     This morning, Mom was watching TV while prepping our feast in the kitchen.  She caught me zoned out standing in front of the mini TV set for a scene from The Rock.  Give me a break...you HAVE to watch that movie when it's on.  Five seconds ain't gonna kill me, Mom!!

4 - Clean My Room

      In Iowa for Thanksgiving all day.  My clean room will be waiting for me when I get back to Fairmont.

5 - Write A Song Every Day

      First time I've failed this challenge.  It totally slipped my mind while spending the holiday with Rachel and the family.  I did pen out a lick after we got back to Fairmont on Friday, but I'm still gonna give this one the RED light.

6 - 30 Minute Workout

     I went for a run on our blacktop this morning.  It was so cold out that I froze the back of my throat.  Shit that hurts!  Also got some exercise with the family on the Wii.  Erica is a worthy adversary in Wii Canoeing.  Impressive.
