Creature of Habit

In case you didn't know....I am a creature of habit. Sometimes it bugs me but most of the time its somewhat comforting because I have enough decisions to make about everyone else around me so at least I don't have to think to much about myself.

I have the same thing for breakfast 98% of the time.......Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds

I have the same thing for lunch 99% of the time (if I am home).....Sandwich and tomato soup w/pepper and hot sauce


My style of clothing never really changes because a) I rarely shop for myself and b) when I do shop for myself it has to be on sale and I have to make sure it goes with multiple things and is comfortable (so it almost ends up being t-shirt and jeans) (and its mostly black)

My style of decorating has always been the same....eclectic with no theme because I hardly buy anything new so alot of what I have is hand me downs

My hairstyle has been the same for 15 yrs

And when I do have lunch outside of the house it always Mcdonalds. I never venture anywhere new because I LOVE Mcdonalds. Yes I will admit that I love the place and I will not feel ashamed! But I do try and restrain myself to no more then 2-3 times a month.



But today is a different day. I don't know what it is (maybe cuz its election day! Sorry sorry I can't help myself and you don't even know why I'm saying it all day) but today I needed something different. I needed to do something for myself for a change. I have been going through some stuff the last month or so, and maybe I will write about it.... but I don't know yet. So Kaden and I left the house (yes I actually left the house!) and we went on the hunt for a few new pieces of clothing. I wanted to find something beyond my usual t shirt/ jeans and add a little style to myself. And wouldn't you know that when I decide to buy something for myself, I couldn't find anything I liked. That is so very frustrating. But I am not giving up.

So after we were done I was hungry so where do we go?? You guessed it... Mcdonalds! And what I forgot to mention is the fact that I ALWAYS get the same thing. Quarter pounder meal w/ diet coke. Always Always Always! But since today was a day of a little change I decided I wanted to try this...



I almost backed out at the last minute when I got to the drive thru. I was seriously arguing with myself. I mean this so opposite of my habit. But I followed through and I can I say one thing???? YUMMY! It was sooo good. I am finding out that good things can happen when you step out of your comfort zone. (Is it bad that I want to go get another one???)

girl, if your favorite place to eat is at McDonalds ... then it is time to step out of your comfort zone. There is a whole world out there. You have taken the 1st step by ordering something different. The next step is to step away from the arches :-)
