L'eau

L'eau.  Or Water, as we say it in english.  It is incredible stuff.  I've read a number of articles on it recently and then I came across this succinct graphic on Pinterest and decided it was time to actually do something about it.  

Being a full time online student I spend a lot of time as a couch potato.  I wake up and then sit down for the rest of the day.  I'm reading and taking notes or I'm on my computer and I don't realize that hours have passed.  I'm starting to implement some changes for my physical and mental health now and water is just one of them.  I read a statistic that said you should take your body weight, cut it in half, and that is how many ounces of water you should drink a day.  I don't drink anywhere near that amount!  This handy graphic says 8 glasses, which is a little more reasonable.

So I'm starting tonight. :-)  We just got a reverse osmosis water filter recently, so there is no excuse that the water doesn't taste good.  Water, water, everywhere and every drop was drunk...

Cheers!

Tuesday 14:00


I love Tuesdays.
I get the house completely to myself.

Today that means:

Devotions in bed
Music or podcasts as loud as I want
Fancy lunch
Checklists to keep my multitasking organized
Financial Accounting/Microeconomics studying
Answering emails
Studying French
Editing pictures
Doing Laundry
Letter writing

Productivity is an awesome feeling.

4 Things


  • Never have I read a post quite like this one on this topic.  Dressing well.  Modestly, yes, but this article moves beyond that.  Dress like a lady, act like a lady! Go ahead and read Rachel's post and get inspired yourself. . . 
  • A beautiful read about life and abortion.  This mother is so loving and encouraging, even while she disagrees with something.
  • The audiobook Sylvester by Georgette Heyer read by Richard Armitage.  Yep.  Mr. Thornton folks.  Check it out if you need a good diversion.
  • A beautiful set of Thai commercials.  Such beautiful stories.
