So you like broken records? Read on!

Since we last spoke I started drinking soda again and my sleep schedule is way messed up. And no I don't think there is a correlation between the two. Argue all you want but I generally know why I do what I do.

I'm quitting "the soda" AGAIN, tomorrow. Good grief I'm glad I'm not an alcoholic. I say that only because I know the damage that would do to those around me and at least with soda I'm only hurting myself.  We'll see how I do this go around and I'll let you know.

As for the sleep thing, I'm a heavy procrastinator. I always meet deadlines but I wait till the very last possible moment to get started. It seems most of my life I have procrastinated sleep as well. I have attributed this to being a night owl but really I think it's more of wanting to use my time seeking information. As a kid I would stay up reading until I was caught, and many times not caught, sometimes till 2am. As an adult, if I'm not diligent and disciplined I will stay up till 2 or 3 in the morning. It's not that I can't go to sleep, I usually fall asleep quite easily. I just want to read more, learn more, see what other people are doing, make stuff. If only I could turn this ever growing quest for knowledge and information into a job, that would be heaven. Do any of you procrastinate sleep? Do you just go with it or have you found a way to get some rest?

Here are some things I'd like to achieve this April. I'm just putting these out there, making them more concrete.
  1. Run at least 4 days a week. 
  2. Lose 10lbs
  3. Teach the munchkin something new and hopefully something we can do together. 
  4. Figure out if I really would use a sewing machine and maybe find a used one. (I really want to start making messenger bags)
I think that's enough for now, I'll let you know how it goes.
