Something I find interesting is how I'm consciously changing behaviors. Not only me, but J as well. As our lives are moving on, we are doing things from eating more veggies to flossing daily. These things that we're doing are for our health and life, but we're setting in motions behaviors we want to pass onto our children. We discuss things in a new light. "We need to get used to XYZ so that we don't do it in front our kids!" These things are commonplace for many people. Everyone should eat well. Everyone should floss daily! But we halfheartedly do it for ourselves. There's always tomorrow!
These are not thoughts we want to pass onto our future children. Even though we have no plans to try to have kids any time soon, we'd like to have these habits become second nature to us sooner rather than later.
It's too bad it takes the idea of kids to whip us into shape.. but seriously, if there are no kids involved... farting is REALLY funny...

Green Monster RAWR!!!
I freak out about getting older. Kind of, anyway. I look forward to turning 30, but I also have this fear that life is passing me by and I'll accomplish nothing. I'll wake up tomorrow and be 90 and it'll be too late to have kids, get rich, travel, and sky dive. I'm usually pretty good about talking myself out of these fears.
Yesterday, I got home and checked my mail (as I do whenever I get home and J hasn't beat me to it). There was a lot of stuff addressed to me. You'd be amazed at how much mail you get when you get engaged. Luckily, I love mail. One piece of mail I did not love getting yesterday was my application to AARP. Yes.. THAT AARP.
I remember laughing at/with my mom when she got her AARP stuff before her time, but you know what? SHE WASN'T 28!!!!!!! I have 22 years before I'm eligible for AARP! Not that I wouldn't love the discounts. How did they figure I'd be interested? Do they knock on doors and send it out to anyone that is usually in bed by 8:30 pm? WTF?! (how many old people say that?!)
In other news, this morning I had a Green Monster. I used 2 handfuls of raw spinach (like 3 cups!), almond milk, 1/2 a banana and random fruit.
I'm going to be experimenting with this. I really can't wait to try more things!
