The 1st of the Month is as Exciting as my Birthday
Today is a long-awaited day for 3 reasons:
1. Today music will sing again from my Mac just like the Pat Neff Bells ring as I scurry to class. I have been deprived of music for over a week because Pandora put a limit on obsessive listeners like me. I hit my 40 hour maximum sometime last week, and because I also lost my iTunes, I tell a sad story of not having had music. I have been experiencing withdrawals from my calming Beethoven station that enhances my attempted studious nature and my Keith Urban station that makes me love the country a bit more (though I’ve never even ridden a tractor or know anyone I would consider a member of the Red Neck club but I do love America, so I am a qualified country listener). The first of the month equals Pandora is back.
2. Secondly, I only have to do one push-up today. Earlier last month I got motivated and committed to doing a push-up for the date. This means on the September 5th, I did 5 push-ups. At the beginning of September, 6,7,and 8 push-ups were barable. However, last week I was humbled as I had to scatter my push-ups through chapters of Pride and Prejudice. At the end of each chapter I would do 5, because how could I possible do 30 at once when I did 29 the night before? Today I will do my push-ups with confidence and be victorious—all one of them. Maybe by Halloween I will be strong enough to finish them in one setting. Until then, one is fine with me.
3. Oh, and reason number 3: I can legally buy alcohol, and therefore, today I’m going to hit up Happy Hour and go crazy—Sonic-style. I might even get a large Diet Coke with Vanilla (every other day I only get a medium). Big day I’d say.
