As if a couple weeks ago when I swore off anything new until the first of the year I thought that this would be a crazy tricky project. Until this evening when I realized that today alone I did two new things without trying. I suppose that it would be cheating to use these as part of my blog experience but I am going to tell you about them anyways.
1. Today I got to take my very loyal pup Molly with me to work for the first time. Often I work two jobs back to back and as Molly would never be allowed at my afternoon job taking her with me is only an option on one job days. I was going to take her with me once last week but taking her on an extra long walk before work was just not happening that day, and I had things that I was doing either before or after work so she didn't join me. The funny thing is that this morning if I would have remembered that I have sworn off anything new she would have stayed home and not had near the adventure that she had today. Most everyone loved her. I am pretty sure that she got a TON of extra love. Not to fear Mr. Perfect and I do love her very much and take great care of her....but I think that she really enjoyed getting to meet so many new people. It was a bonus that these said new people wee excited to see her and loved on her as well. I think both Molly and I are looking forward to a day when she can come back soon.
Adventure 2. We ate at a new restaurant. This seems silly and now I feel like a fatty so it probably was silly. A year or so ago I heard about this wing place fairly close by that is supposed to have good wings and amazing rolls. Mr. Perfect was over by said place today as I remembered the location and suggested wings for dinner. The funny thing is that up until this point I was pretty sure that I was going to make an amazing little dish with chicken and bell peppers and maybe some hummus or something great like that. But it didn't happen. The wings were good....but in a regular situation would not be worth blogging about.
The funny thing is that when you live in the moment and let new things happen they do. I am looking forward to this year because I feel that my cautious repetitive lifestyle is of course safe and happy, but that there can be more. More in the willingness to go with the flow instead of the fear that so often encompasses me when it comes to new adventures, new experiences, and new (but hopefully few) kitchen disasters.
