How To Be Productive
While (wasting time) on Reddit, I had stumbled upon this info graph:
I have been going to bed and getting up earlier. Granted, it's my new job that has forced my new schedule but I have definitely seen positive results in the past seven weeks. I have more energy throughout the day, minimal mood swings, clarity and better judgement.

October
There were so many things that I had anticipated on doing this past weekend, such as working on this blog post (it's been over a month since my last post), hiking with Matt, and switching out seasonal wardrobe. None of that happened but I did host an impromptu dinner with Sam and Z, whom I haven't seen since August, and I got to see Ellie belly last Sunday.
It's nice to catch up with friends and it's even better to reflect on your life especially right before the holiday season - my holiday season starts with Halloween.
Weekend of September 19th - 21st: Matthew and I had dinner at Cunningham's with Barbara. Matt decided to try a raw oyster and I think he enjoyed it. He doesn't want to admit it because he's cheap. Matt and I spent the rest of the weekend in the Pasadena area: Saturday, we hung out with D.J. & Anna and then saw Top Dead Center at The Brass Rail Pub with Sabrina. On Sunday, we went to the Navel Academy to attend to my little brothers' Sea Cadet promotion and picnic.
Weekend of September 26th-28th: Matt and I attended James' cross country invitational at Hereford High School then we rush home for me to get ready for my facial appointment at Vita Revive. After my appointment, I ran some errands and packed an overnight bag for Leah and Layla's birthday sleepover. Matt was hosting Robbie's bachelors party that night instead of getting a room downtown, the guys were going to crash at our place in Towson. After a sleep deprived night with girls ranging from four to nine, I hung out with Ck and Emilia, whom at the time had just turned one! They were in town visiting because Joe and his company were participating in an east coast convention.
Tuesday, September 30th, Matt and I met up with Ben, Mike, Joe and Ck for dinner at Luna Del Sea. I am so glad I was in great company because the food there was disgusting and that I got to see them even just for a few hours because they all live out in L.A.

Weekend of October 3rd-5th: My birthday weekend and Robbie & Christi's Wedding.
My birthday was on the third and not to break tradition, I didn't get to go all out. So, Matt and I bought myself a bunch of nice novelty items such as:
Last weekend: As mentioned earlier, Sam and Z came over to our place for dinner Friday night. The entree was crispy cheddar chicken with baby red mashed potato and steamed broccoli. Matt and I had also put together a simple charcutrie plate because we went a little overboard at Trader Joe's last week. Last Saturday, Matt and I got up early and ran errands. We ended the day with dinner at Nando's Peri-Peri and watching Life of Pi on demand. We went over to Sam and Z's place for football Sunday and I got to cuddles with Ellie!
My birthday was on the third and not to break tradition, I didn't get to go all out. So, Matt and I bought myself a bunch of nice novelty items such as:
- Flowers delivered to work even though I was only there until 11:30 am
- Tory Burch Ella Tote in Black
- Lands' End Parka in Navy
- Tarte Rain Forest After Dark palette
- "I'll put a spell on you" (Hocus Pocus) baseball tee in green
- LORAC Pro palette
- Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lip Set
The first five items were from Matt and yes, I gave him a list of things I wanted - a month in advanced. I am a woman who knows what I want and don't have time to be passive aggressive and or returning shit that I don't want. The rest of the weekend was spent partaking in wedding festivities. Funny story, the plan was to camp with our friends after the wedding and when it was time to put up the tent, Matt and I realized that we had everything except for the tent itself. We were borrowing my parents' gigantic tent because people had express interest on staying in the tent with us. My point is that I am never going to ask my siblings to do anything for me again.
Weekend of 10-12th: We spent the weekend at my parents' house in southern Maryland. It was an interesting weekend to say the least. I tried Marie's Diner for the first time in my life and I loved it. It was also the weekend of my younger siblings' homecoming so my parents took Matt and me to dinner at Paul Kee in, my hometown, Wheaton while they were at the dance. It was delicious. Matt and I gorged on so much amaz-asian food that weekend.
