November 2014 Favorite Things

Every time I type the words "favorite things' I sing it in my head all Sound Of Music style. 



Less sugar in my life:



In 2013 I cut out a lot of added sugar in my life.  For the record, I only use regular sugar, cane sugar or brown sugar, I hate all the sugar substitutes. I did it slowly, but putting less and less in tea and coffee, cutting out juice and soda and overall eating better.  I upped my water intake by drinking lemon water, or really any fruit infused water.  I drink tea and coffee with no sugar now and I have maybe one soda week (I'm a social soda drinker).   I feel better overall and notice the actual taste of my food items more than before. 




Metro:



I take the metro to and from work everyday.  I just bring my Kindle and read while on my way to my destination.  It does get boring at times, but the people watching is always entertaining.  I can't say I love taking it, however, it does save me the headache of driving to work everyday. 

Some pros:
I'm reading so many books, time to veg out, mostly reliable time wise,

Some cons:
The cost, the Silver Line is a bit pricey, if and when fares go up, I'm out.  There are some really rude people that take public transportation.  These people include manspreaders (Google it), loud music folks (what is the point of headphones if I can still hear your music?), gum snappers and open mouth chewers (I hope it tastes like the metro!), and people that put bags on the seat so that you can't sit down.


Work Friends:

Work friends can really make your day.  Sometimes you are having a bad day, whatever is going on in life and suddenly you see a work friend and things seem lighter.  At my office, we are on 5 floors, so I don't necessarily see the same people everyday, so it is that much more fun when I do see them.  Some people I see everyday and it is always a nice perk.  The 12:15 lunch crew is always enjoyable to hang out with. Work friends really help make the environment better and helps to create back office communications. 


Hugs and Loves!
