This afternoon I started a post that essentially argued that I had every right to be cranky and spend the whole day pouting. I even tried to photograph it for your entertainment but of course when you are cranky nothing works and my computer's camera was broken.
In a shocking turn of events however I am in a 110% better mood this evening and glad I didn't actually post an entire blog about why it's ok to act like a brat when you are an adult.
What busted me out of my bad mood? A lovely walk, baking cookies and home renovation shows on the TV. Sadly I think a great deal of my happiness is tied into what happens on the TV (and I watch way less now than I used to!)
I often forget how much good a walk can do for my mood. Tonight I headed out on my own with my headphones blaring (ok, at a reasonable volume to not damage my hearing) and enjoyed the lovely sunshine which for the first time in a while wasn't accompanied by intense heat.
There is nothing like my "2012 Best Beats" playlist (no joke, that is what I named it) to perk me up. It's got a little bit of all the music that drives Jason crazy on it and brings me great joy. I mean seriously how can Jay-Z and Spice Girls not improve my night?!?!
As I mentioned I did give baking another go, this time the avocados were ripe so I figured why not substitute them for butter in my chocolate chip cookie recipe. I will tell you why not: they taste and smell terrible. That was a huge disappointment but it was fun to bake them at least!
I also got this crazy idea to add avocado to my frozen berry smoothie this afternoon. Again, not something I would suggest in the future in a berry smoothie at least!

If you'd asked me this afternoon what I was happy about I probably would have rolled my eyes and stuck my bottom lip out further. Thinking about it from a more adult perspective I can see that it was actually a pretty good and productive day and going for a walk definitely gave me something to be happy about.

Use apple sauce instead of butter! It tastes good and it's less fatty than avocados.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Martha (?). That's the plan for the next batch I was just too curious about the avocados. I've learned my lesson on that though.
