Being NOT Lazy Is Exhausting

Posted By on February 28, 2010

I know what you’re thinking – that I didn’t blog last Thursday night, therefore only blogging four days last week, thus not living up to my Lensolution promise. BUT! My Lensolution was to really give up being lazy in all aspects of my life, most notably in blogging, but also all around. So while I didn’t blog five days last week, and went to bed at 9 PM on Thursday night, I DID do some good!

I gave blood!

For VAMPIRES! EDWARDDDDD!

And Simba wanted to tell you all to do your part to help save lives!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And then this weekend, I actually left the house! And ran errands! And did all the things I’ve been putting off for weeks and weeks!

Saturday morning I went to Target, got coffee, picked up my contacts and my dry cleaning all before noon! And then I came home, unpacked my purchases, organized a bit of the second bedroom and then did four loads of laundry!

Then I took a break, sat down on the couch and then didn’t get up until I moved to the bedroom and went to bed.

Yeesh! Who knew actually DOING things would make you so tired?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I went over to my Grandma’s/Mom’s house and took my Gram out to run errands. Since my mom has to do it all the time, I figured it would be nice to give her a break. So we went to KMart and stocked up on things for Gram. Then we stopped for donuts. And if you live in a state with Dunkin Donuts, I HIGHLY recommend you head out there RIGHT NOW for their triple chocolate donut. SO TASTY!

But at least I got a free meal out of it AND leftovers! And watched the awesome USA-Canada hockey game. And while it didn’t end in the US’s favor, it was still an AWESOME game and I’m so glad the US hockey team is finally performing at the Olympics! And not just destroying hotel rooms!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, I’m sure you’ve all been hearing me talk about this enough this weekend, BUT! The amazing Laurie asked me to be part of a panel with her for a Room of Your Own session at this year’s BlogHer conference. I gladly accepted because I would never turn down a chance to spew my nonsense at a room full of people!

Anyway, I don’t know when voting ends (I think it is today, but I’m not sure), but if you are able to still vote, I would love your support to say that you would attend this session. (CLICK HERE TO VOTE!) Even if you’re not going to BlogHer, the more support the better! For those of us bloggers who aren’t moms and just blog about our lives, there are not a lot of panels/sessions for us at BlogHer and I think this will really be fantastic. Doesn’t hurt that I’ll be on a panel with some FANTASTIC LADIES!

For those of you who have voted, THANK YOU! I really hope we get to present in August!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And with that, I’m going to bed. Because I’ve done far too much this weekend and I’m beyond exhausted!

    I am going to Blogher too and it my first time. I can’t wait!

    As for Dunkin Donuts, there are just far too many of them in Boston and the donuts just aren’t good anymore.

    Congratulations!

    And are you serious about the Dunkin Donuts??? Are there really states without them?? Please advise if there are because we have a DD about every mile here – and it’s maddening!! The donuts are easy to resist – but have you had the Munchkins???? Soooo my weakness….

  6. Congratulations on the panel! I still don’t know if I’ll be able to make it to BlogHer (I’ve never been but I’m dying to go, especially with it being in New York this year) but I’ll still vote for you!

    Good for you for giving blood too! I wish I could give blood. I even have O-. Boo weight restrictions. Sure I might pass out, but people neeeeeeeed it!
