I’m thinking about getting a modular vanity for my bathroom. I’m a bathroom cleanliness freak. My bedroom is a total mess, but my bathroom is always squeaky clean. It’s a weird obsession that I embrace wholeheartedly.

I’m making a list of things that I need in my bathroom. I already have a towel rack, a toothbrush organizer, but I want a new laundry hamper.

I like clean bathrooms, what can I say?

The thing about getting a custom mattress is that you don’t ever want to leave bed. Last night I dreamed about cakes, ice cream, mango tarts, and other scrumptious desserts that I can’t have for the rest of the week.

It was delightful. I am officially a masochist for anticipating these dreams, and I probably need psychiatric treatment for this.

Tell me, why is it so cold today?! Why wasn’t it cold in December? I think I need electric blankets or something. I am currently wearing a turtleneck and I am freezing. Is it time to start wearing layers? And gloves or mittens? I don’t like wearing things that will slow down my typing.

I think it’s going to get even colder tonight. 2012, why you be lyk dis?

This is something that I need to constantly remind myself of: it’s 2012. When I’m writing dates on journal entries, when I’m writing dates on bank withdrawal and deposit slips, basically every time I need to write down the year. It’s 2012. Not 2011. It’s kinda easy to forget. It’s like buying a yoga mat.

It’s 2012, Lexie. Just remember, so your checks don’t end up bouncing.

I am the master of distraction. And I don’t mean that I’m great at distracting people. I’m just awesome at getting distracted.

Like today, I was working, and suddenly I started thinking about chicken curry, nutella, gelato, and soup. Mmm, soup. Never mind that I’m supposed to be fasting.

Maybe next time I’ll end up thinking about non-appetizing things like Materials Manager Jobs.

Note to self: resist distraction.

Today is Day 2. It has been more challenging than I thought it would be. But grace is present. I don’t feel the hunger, but when I smell certain types of food, I get cravings. I keep reminding myself about self-denial.

I have also learned something: because you’re fasting, you easily get cold. I’ve learned to wear sweaters and down jackets so I don’t end up freezing.

I’ve committed to spending the next seven days praying and fasting for the things I want to accomplish this year. I’m hoping that the next 7 days brings me to a deeper awareness of Jesus’ work in my life. I am excited!

I’ve committed to fast from (aside from food): secular music, movies and books. I was also thinking of fasting from Twitter and Facebook, but that is practically impossible, since I need Facebook for my job. Maybe fast from a posguys barcode scanner? Kidding.

I have two 2012 planners now. One from the Moon Leaf Tea Shop and one from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.

I have no idea which to use.

I do plan to use one for work and one for personal stuff. But which for which purpose? Which would be great for taking notes of dates for delivery of restaurant supplies?

This is such a strange dilemma. I hope I don’t receive any more planners. Though I would appreciate the coupons.

I want a nice awesome set of altec lansing speakers. I know. Late wishlist revelation.

I don’t care. Wishlists don’t have to be necessarily for Christmas, right?

Oh, if only we had our own Amazon warehouse in the Philippines. Then it would be so easy to purchase items online. Please, Amazon? Open a PH warehouse?

Somehow, I doubt the possibility of this wish being granted.

And I realized that I’d like to be able to write a whole book.

About what? I don’t know.

Certainly not about the fact that I like to wear nursing scrubs to bed because they are very comfy. TMI, I know.

I don’t know. I just want to write. But I am aware that I need a subject matter. Should I talk about milk tea? Planners? I don’t know.
