4:03, 2:22 & 21 days

Certain times make themselves known to me for some reason.
Plenty of people do the 11:11 thing, right? Make a wish...
But me?
It's 4:03 & 2:22.
I notice them on the clock often,
but even weirder is when they find me.
It's like they're seeking me out.
I notice them on the clocks in shows and movies.

I hear them in songs(&songs) or see them in videos.
They just follow me... or maybe I find them.
Either way they are there.
Maybe someday I'll know why?
Or maybe they'll just follow me around the rest of my life & I'll never know.
But it makes me smile, because I feel like it's mine.
Is that weird?

Does anything follow you around?


p.s. I just realized it just so happens to be February 22nd.... 2/22 :)

I'm going to need your support for the next 21 days(and ya know, always and forever) because I've decided to join my BBB Summer in her 21 days to a better you challenge! Yesterday marked the start of the 21 days.
Day 1: Give up something for the 21 days. I decided to give up sweets!
I know, I know... I'm off my rocker. Giving up sweets for 21 days and soda for 40? I'm certifiable. So if I come to you(via email or blog comment) and tell you that I am about to inhale a plate of brownies or bag of skittles, feel free to slap my hand, shake me and make me sit in the corner. Every day I will be posting about what I've done that day to work my way towards becoming a better me! Join on in if you please!
Just be sure to link to my lady, like so , being as it was her grand idea :)


Day 2:
Let today be a day that you are focused on going out of your way to show love and kindness to the people around you.

So to start my day off... a little note for this lady


19 love notes:

  1. Wow Lace, good luck! :D I can imagine having to give up one of your main staples, I'll think twice before I have to give up coffee haha I know you can do it though, for a good cause as well!

  14. Can I just tell you that today is sucky without sugar? I so want to cave and eat licorice. Like, so so so bad.

    Talk me off the ledge.

  15. Oh, best of luck girl! I'm slowly making my way there to the no soda, no sweets! But if I vow to give it up for 21 days, I will immediately go out and binge. So kudos to you for your resolve

  16. So weird...I just gave up sweets for 21 days in January. First off, I didn't know I was addicted to sugar!!! Man it was Hard! But I made it! Granola saved me. I don't know if you like it, but I made about 4 batches of homemade granola and everytime, I craved sweet I ate that. It really gave me that satisfied feeling. Hope that helps you & Good Luck!!
