Day Twenty-one

This month...

I will admit, I haven't been exactly diligent about completing my resolutions on the exact day, but I have definitely been committing to them over the course of the month, in some form or another.  For example, my new language phrase I actually looked up and recited multiple times, at 4:00 am of the the 14th, rather than during the day of the 13th.  I didn't dance on the 18th, but I have been dancing a lot this month, and was sure to do so yesterday, just in case. I didn't make a meal on the 19th, but yesterday I made homemade flavored peanut butter for a co-worker. The only thing I haven't done yet is wear high-heels.  This was foiled by some poor Valentine's planning on my part. However, Jesse and I have made a date for later this month, so the heels will come out, rain or shine.

I do feel a twinge of shame about slacking on some of my resolutions, but then I return to the thought that I am making up for them on other days. This is ultimately the point: to do each of these things more often.  That, I am doing.

In other less interesting news, studying for the RICA is trudging along. It has given me some interesting ideas for my own teaching, but mostly makes me worry about needing to remember it all. My stack of flash cards is growing....

Oh, and new music for today:

The Skaters (they had me at skaters.)

This was compared to The Unicorns. It is adorable and quaint, like sweet hipster wedding music:
