You know what I love?

Popcorn, I love it, my favorite snack, always has been, not quite sure why, but it always has been. My folks tell me that back when I was a toddler, they would put me to bed, and then settle in with some popcorn after dad popped it. After a bit I would come waddling out of my room in my pjs saying popcorn. So my love for the snack has been around for a while.

Right now I am slowly getting used to not having the usual pop with it. I have gone two months without drinking a pop, I was on diet pops only, but I was still having a couple or more cans a day, so I just stopped to see how long I could go, and it's snowballed into two months. Now I wonder what to drink my Morgan with the next time I have some, but that's a side track. I used to always have a pop with my corn, well not always, but usually, and they go together so well. But now I am doing just fine with merely popcorn, love it.

Another thing I love...how I met your mother...for me the best sitcom ever. Fantastic acting, great writing, inside jokes for loyal viewers, and last night...it made me cry. They threw a plotline at us in the final seconds of the show, one that I could see coming but wasn't quite sure what it would be, but the acting around the reveal was so good that I cried, chin even quivered a bit people.

Well today I find out that the show is even more genius than I thought it was, because they subtley did a countdown to the Bad News (the title of the episode). I noticed numbers here and there in the show, but I didn't realize that they were doing an actual countdown. This website has the screengrabs of each number.

To me, that is genius and I loves it.

I figured out another thing I want to do this year, or at least work on as I progress. I want to go for it more, put myself out there more, not think as much. I don't know if I hit on that in the last blog or not, but I think I want to see this progression in me more than others. See a lot of the time I will have an option of something and I will question it, think about it and decide to do something that I think would be more acceptable, and I want to go with gut instinct more. I think I can trust myself enough to act, and not think about my Catholic quilt or social mores as much. Should be fun.

And now...back to the popcorn.
