and you will!

Generally, I don’t care to go places where there are poeple that I don’t get along with. I live in an itty-bitty town, and you run into people everywhere. This past weekend, a friend and I went out, which was LNOG overdue for both of us. We went to this little place downtown, and of course half the poeple in townw e don’t like or don’t liek us were there. I was pretty scared going into it..mostly because I tend to feel really insecure, but we held our heads up high, and walked in like we owned the place. We had a blast!! At first, my security was just acting..but the longer we stayed, I realized that I am NOT a product of the other people arund me, and was secure in myself and had a fantastic time!!

or rather, nto to simply, but to de-clutter, and I am taking the opportunity to simplify as I go. Motivated by having to, I’m not sure that it’s really reaching any goal, but the fact that I am chosing to simplify down rather than just move crap around as I normally do is something that I am proud of.

Our neighbors have a bug problem (NOT raoches, thank god..I would shoot them if that were the case!!) and we are having our house treated as wlel. I got the call yesterday that the exterminator is coming in two and a h alf days, and there needs to be nothing on my flooors aside from heavy furnituyre.

Now, I am fairly neat. MY house is clean, although there is clutter around, but it is all contained by totes and bins and shelves, etc. I have decided that since I have to move all the little/light stuff, I am really gong to do this right..go through it all and chuck and donate what is not really being used, what is floating around fr no reason, etc. I am hoping that sine I have a short time to do this, rather than my normal open-ended agenda, I will be less hesitant to think about anything too much, and just go with my gut!!

Hopefully it works…

We went out to dinner yesterday with some friends who are getting married today. We went to this fantastic sushi bar/japanese restaurant, and sat a hibatchi table where all our food was prepared fresh and in front of us. What an experience!! IT was amazing, the food was divine, and everyone had a great time!

So…they order some sushi, which I have alwyas said that I wanted to try, just for the experience. They offered me some, which I at first declined, but then figured..it’s now or never baby!! So I did it..I had a tuna roll.

So interesting. I put a bit o f wasabit on the end, and a lit dip in the soy sauce, and then popped it in my mouth. The explosion of flavor when I bit down was AMAZING!!! Of course, once I bit again, the texture kinda got to me, but I persevered (hey, I was in the middle of a restaurant, I couldn’t just spit it out, ya know?? LOL) and with each bite it got b etter, and finally towards the end of it it was quite enjoyable.

I seriosuly doubt that I will ever do it again. But I am very proud of myself for trying it, and I can say that I have done it.

I’m glad that I reached this goal, and also that obtaining it was a result fo other things I have been working on about myelf, like not being so scared, and being in charge of myself.
