Day 22 of my #30daybloggingchallenge My worst habits



My worst habits.

A big gripe I have with myself is that I start something, but don't finish. You name it; fitness, organization projects, diets, I have started and then got stalled many times. But here's the thing: I don't want to just talk anymore, I want to complete what I start. I've started by little monthly challenges on instagram. I have discovered that with a little structure, I can achieve what I want.

Another bad habit is procrastination. I like to joke, "I'll do it tomorrowland." If I can put off something until tomorrow or the next day, I'll do it. Now that I'm back in college, I can't put things off. I have to tackle my tasks and keep my schedule up to date. I'm working daily to break this habit.

I'll admit it too, I can be lazy. I have the art of couch surfing down to an art form. There have been days I hung out on the couch most of the day, ordered pizza and binge watched Netflix until dark. This is why sometimes I have lapses in filming, I was just too lazy to do anything. 

I have recently been listening to the audio book, "Girl, Wash your Face" by Rachel Hollis. I have been waking up feeling inspired for the first time in years. The book spoke to me in ways no self help book has. What really opened my eyes was the statement that when I back out of things I've openly said I would do, I'm breaking a promise to myself. I'd never thought of it that way. I don't want to do that anymore. I deserve more and I deserve better.

I'm formulating a plan which I will discuss soon which will help me to do better with my goals. I don't want to be complacent and stagnant anymore. "Good enough" is just not enough for me now. I want more.

I'll keep you updated. TTFN,

Gabrielle

Things are looking up

Things are changing around here... My husband got a promotion to Assistant Manager at Wal Mart. We are waiting to find out where his job will be. It could be within driving distance of Tulsa, but we aren't for sure. We do know it should be in this area. He has to attend a four week class to be trained in his new job before he is moved. Which means that Japan is postponed until a later date. Another bit of good news...I'm going back to college. I'm attending Tulsa Community College and studying Strategic Communications, otherwise known as Public Relations. I will be finishing my Associates degree there and lack 6-8 classes! I am also being approved for financial aid. I will only be going part time since that is what my aid will cover due to my previous degree. This works out well for me anyway due to having seizures and being unable to take on a full schedule. Once I have completed this degree, I will be attending Oklahoma State University to finish my B.A. in Strate...

Hello there!

Hello! For those who don't know me, let me pour you a glass of sweet tea and let's chat. My name is Gabrielle Farringer and I am a Disney fanatic. I always have been ever since I was a little girl. A little about me: I am happily married to a man named Kenneth since 2006, but we've been together since 2000. Our 12th wedding anniversary comes up next month on June 17th. I have a spirited furbaby, Nando who is the light of my life. I love Disney, WWE, cooking, shopping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. My first trip to Walt Disney World was on June 18, 2006 when we stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter for four days, followed by a 3 day cruise on the Wonder. It was a fabulous time and one we still fondly remember! Since then, I have visited Walt Disney World 10+ times and Disneyland twice. My husband and I took another cruise on the Wonder in 2010 as well. I am looking forward to sharing more with you and hearing from you! Tata for now Gabrie...

day 12 of my #30daybloggingchallenge My favorite childhood book

When I was a child, I had a few favorite childhood books I loved. When I was little, I loved Dr. Seuss. I loved every Dr Seuss book I got my hands on, but my favorite Seuss childhood book was called, "My book about Me." It was a book where my mom and I updated it every year when I was growing up. It was like my first scrap booking experiment. The book included my favorite foods, where I live, where I went to school, my height, hobbies, interests, and so on. It was fun to see the change from year to year. When I was a teenager, I also loved the Sweet Valley High series. My favorite character was Jessica Wakefield. I always wanted to be like her. She might not have had it all together, but she had the most fun! What's your favorite childhood book?
