10 Things I learnt while on my mini break

1. I'm not a "comfort eater" - when Im a bit down or stressed I tend to lose my appetite and eat almost nothing.
2. Cool guys don't look at explosions (Thanks Will Farrell and friends for pointing it out in THIS funny song)
3. I can be bribed with a home cooked meal
4. I have a love/hate relationship with strapless tops
5. Sipping champagne on a weekday afternoon is blissful
6. Not talking to or seeing The Boyf for a week was challenging, but it made me appreciate him even more :)
7. I probably need to listen more and talk less at times
8. Sometimes a long car ride alone with a favourite CD is all you need to get back on track.
9. There is more than one way to put on socks
10. Taking a break from the computer for a while does wonders for the mind.

Definitely with you on number 10. I was away for four days this weekend, didn't give two hoots about the computer, vowed when I returned not to get sucked back into the detrimental type of bloggyland stuff, aaaaaaaaand here I am doing it anyway. Self-restraint and time management? Fail.

Regroup time.

I'm with you on #1...I just wish my life was more stressful so I could get some benefit out of it!

Maryx said...

I am a comfort eater depends on what I'm comforting. Otherwise I starve.

I am way too easily bribed with home cooked meals. Especially the truly South African kind.

I can relate to #4

#9 - ?!

Glad you enjoyed it sweetie!
