I'm So Fortunate

Gina isn't feeling well, so we got Chinese take-out - mango chicken and brown rice for me if you're interested. She doesn't like fortune cookies - I do. It's always funny though that we only ordered two meals and they gave us five cookies.

I, of course, ate all of them.
1. Declare peace every day.
2. A truly great person never puts away the simplicity of a child.
3. A lifetime of happiness lies ahead of you.
4. Ambition is the incentive that makes purpose great and achievement greater.
5. You are never too old to dream. Dreams bring hopes.

So... which one counts? All of them? Or is it the first one I opened, do they cancel each other out or only the last one. Did Miss Manners ever do a segment on fortune cookie etiquette?

ADDENDUM:
Of course, each was read in the following manner:
1. Declare peace every day in bed. (I try every morning, but still have to get up)
2. A truly great person never puts away the simplicity of a child in bed. (Hmmm, that one is just creepy)
3. A lifetime of happiness lies ahead of you in bed. (YES!!)
4. Ambition is the incentive that makes purpose great and achievement greater in bed. (always try harder)
5. You are never too old to dream. Dreams bring hopes in bed. (so true)

Blogging from the iPhone

Possible? We'll see.

Plus a photo? As long as you start the email with the pic (another
iPhone deficiency)

Planning my routine

Okay, so I have OCD and I'm also anal-retentive, so I crave order and routine.
I have a couple of blogs, but never find time to post anything.
I buy a lot of books and rarely get to read them.
I always have a list of things to do, some of those I actually get done. Why? Because there's a list, a plan. That works for me (somewhat), so now I need to bring that principal to get into a consistent routine AND get more done.

• Write Blog Post/Ideas (don't need to post every day but at least work on ideas)
• Read (get through the books, magazines and online content that piles up waiting for my attention)
• Design (anything - I have many ideas)
• Work (yeah, have to make time for that too)
• Socialize (emails, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn - it's something I do that needs a timeframe for the stopping point, otherwise it's all I do)
• Meditate (relax, think OR don't think, reboot and recharge)
• Family (have to make time for the family - kids grow too fast and life is too short)

Now, I just need to designate when it makes the most sense to do what.
But that's for another day...

BTW... I'm also a procrastinator - that doesn't help either. *sigh
