Moore or Les I'm not a Morning Person

This morning I was Soooooooooooooooooo tired. But Mr. Peanut had to get up at 6:30, so we both did. We may have been slow to start, but we did start, and shortly into our morning, we were participating with full enthusiasm. Yay us! I am considering keeping track of measurements to see if this early exercise thing works like the poster said it would... but then again; I don't want to work myself up and then get disappointed if it doesn't. Perhaps it should be enough to know that it's the healthy choice. 
Speaking of choices; Today I choose to be productive. However, my productivity, in part, depends on others... so said productivity has halted for the time being. Although; I did choose to write a blog whilst I wait on them to do their part. I will also post anther entry into "Les & Moore" which, for some reason, I have not been posting online, even though I do have pages written out on paper. Then again, I will run out of pages to type if I don't also add to the written pages too. I am mostly just stuck on where to take it. And I can't get feedback from readers, One) because I am not sure there are readers, and Two) If I haven't typed up to where we are, how can they say where to go from there? As we can see: I've fallen behind. I did have an idea though. Yesterday I thought about illustrating a few parts of what's already written, maybe add some pictures to the blog site. I also considered, along this same line of thought: Perhaps I could illustrate and read aloud the story at intervals then post them as well... Do an audio/visual thing. Kinda like those shows that I rarely watched when I was a kid. An illustrator would illustrate a story as they read it aloud. I liked it when they did all the voices. I think it would be best to have more of the story down before I went that far though. I'd also have to design the characters look. Any input on that end (or any that I've discussed) would be much appreciated.

Morning Tones Set the Days Tune

I am in a great mood. I have woken up for the past few mornings in a fantastic mood. Mr. Peanut and I have started new morning routines that help to set the tone for our entire days. And so far, it Has worked. Granted; it's only been a few days, but... just saying. Part of this morning routine is declaring our intentions for the day and for how we want to feel or what we want to accomplish and setting it in our minds to make it happen. Another aspect of our mornings also now includes exercise. Not alot, we don't always have the time to dedicate to a full workout, but doing something (at least something) is important. Just a short exercise regime. I actually found the short list of things that we do on pintrest, which; I know, I know; I said I didn't like pintrests... I still don't like it when my facebook wall is inundated with "pins" from one person and I'm all... Good Grief, I Don't Give a Rip!!! but that's a discussion for another time. 
After setting this spectacular tone for the day, we are then ready to attack anything. I am getting LOTS of work done and am determined  to actually make a dent in my to-do list that I've mentally prepared for my day... Because (not only because, but it helps) we also have a short nightly routine too. We list off at least 5 success for the day. When I was kid, mom had us say something we were thankful for before going to bed each night when we said our prayers. It's not a bad habit to get into. Like in White Christmas when Bing Crosby sings about Counting your Blessings instead of Sheep to fall asleep. You should try it. Positive attitude, positive reinforcement, positive outlook. Out with the Negativity... Ha! It's not easy. I myself am a natural pessimist and see the negative in everything, but for years I have been trying to be the "Optimistic Pessimist" and I LOOK for that silver lining. The constant positivity on the regular helps.

Sharing Holidays and Occasions

Once again, it is my birthday month, and said birthday is only a few days away now. And I, once again, am trying to not build myself up to let myself down. However; like always, I am not quite succeeding. I have imparted to Mr. Peanut, exactly how important this occasion is, and he is attempting to get the day off of work so that he can make it as special as possible. This brings us to the issue of his employers. We won't know until this evening if he'll be able to spend any time with me or not. Seeing as the big day is on Monday and today is Saturday, this simple fact has made it Nigh impossible to plan anything. Thus injuring my psyche and disappointing me before the fact. I have tried to busy myself with other things to think about, to no avail. For; they all lead back to this one specific conundrum. For instance: I have been in search of the proper attire for the  events unplanned. This has proved most difficult, due entirely to the fact that the events are unplanned, and cannot be planned until we have his schedule. Not only is this difficult; it is downright unnerving. I spent an entire day looking for something that I couldn't put my finger on. I can't even describe what it is I am looking for because I don't know the purpose yet for which I need it. I am now out of time to purchase something that is unknown. I am also unable to create that thing because I have no inkling to what it should look like in the least. Even if the day gets planned this evening for Monday, I will still be unable to procure the proper attire before the date in question. Sunday is out, and Monday is not only the day of, but also a National holiday. Thus making the entire previous weekend difficult in the very least. 
Which brings me to another point. I am all for Memorial Day being a wonderful and Thanks filled occasion, but it is again, exceedingly difficult to find appreciation for someone else when one feels so severely under appreciated. A feeling that does come, more often than not, with this most important day of the year. Happy Friggin Birthday to me.
