Day 45 and 46 - Cheese!

day 45: when was the last time you tried something new
day 46: what makes you smile

Ok. Let's try Day 45 again. Trying something new and doing something new are completely different things. I was going to write about all the stuff I do at work that is new to me. I'm always learning about new laws, new mandates, new materials and gadgets. Almost everyday, I'm learning something new.

As for trying something new.... hmmm.... I guess the last 'new' thing I did was try a new sushi restaurant with someone about 2 weeks ago. I'm not a big sushi person- and he wasn't either exactly. We ordered the 'cooked' sushi- lame but delicious. Ooo! I also went to the Perot museum last week. We went to a new Italian restaurant after. A week before that I had an interesting little trip where I tried and fed a stingray (yay!), went bungee jumping (again- so it doesn't count), slept in a hammock (again), went up in a tower thingy, and played at an amusement park I had never been to. The week before that, I tried my own chicken kabobs at a party. I tried grilling them for the first time too. I also went to a person's house from the Ward I had never been to before.

... I guess I've recently tried a bunch of new things.... wow- sure hasn't felt like it.
PS (I also tried a new medication! :) )

Day 46:

What makes me smile? Lots of things! I was even smiling when someone called me 'bouncy' today. Oddly, it's been a work in progress. I used to have these CRAZY roller coaster mood swings daily. It was pretty awful. It's nice to finally smooth them out. It really did cost a part of my personality. I now have a flatter affect, but I feel it's more beneficial than being so crazy.
