September


Seriously!?  Is it really September already?? 
I can’t believe that another fall season is approaching once again.  And while I’m getting psyched for pumpkin spice latte’s and fall jackets, I’m upset with myself.  Other than a few great dinner dates with friends and an amazing vacation that I took at the end of August, I really don’t have anything to show for this year.  So, for the month of September I thought I would make a list of goals that I want to accomplish.  Since it’s already the 10th, and I’m traveling this weekend, this month’s list is a little shorter than what I hope future months will look like. 
So here it is…
  • Set-up a dinner date with some girlfriends.
  • See if I can set-up a time to hang out with my sister.
  • Start the process of selling gently used clothes and shoes that I don't wear anymore, or that I've never worn.
  • Detail my car.
  • Label and organize my vacation photos.
  • Sign up for Bible Study.
  • Get back into my exercise routine.  I didn't exercise at all over vacation, and I haven't really been motivated to get back to the gym.
  • Attend a wine festival.
  • Go apple picking.

Why Do People Do What They Do?

Last week, I attended a client meeting with several of my co-workers.  During said meeting, one of my co-workers, and good friend, got up to get water for our guests from a mini fridge in a cabinet located in the meeting room.  But, she wasn't really quiet or discrete about it, and proceeded to slam the cabinet doors, while our guests were speaking. Maybe it's because I've lived in an apartment for too long, and the sound of my neighbors slamming their doors and kitchen cabinets has become a big pet peeve of mine.  But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude.  It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.  Reasons range from anger, lack of awareness, laziness, selfishness, bad manners, and lack of consideration for others.  I immediately did some self-reflection.  While I'm pretty good about not...
