Odd Meals

Over the past few years, the times that we eat have changed. No longer are there defined breakfast, lunch, and dinner hours. Instead, we have breakfast, brunch, lunch, "late lunch", dinner, and fourth meal. 

I believe this is due to a number of factors including changing work habits, increased flexibility in scheduling, increased availability in prepackaged foods and ready made meals, and the fact that fewer people consider eating as a family around a dinner table to be important. 

I first started noticing this trend in collage when, due to varied class times, I found myself eating at odd hours between classes. Even now, I have breakfast around 10, lunch at 3, and dinner sometime between 5 and 9.

Not saying that this is wrong or anything, just that it is changing.  

Perhaps we should start calling them 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th meal instead. 

Here Comes 2013 - Happy New Year!

Hard to believe Christmas is already over this year and New Year's Eve is almost upon us.

Here are a few of my New Year's Resolutions:

1. Be happy more often. 2012 was a trying year, but I am really looking forward to 2013.
2. Work on time management. January is already booking up quickly, so staying on top of my schedule will be key.
3. Make fitness a habit, not a chore. Walk more, make healthier food choices, learn more about nutrition, and choose fun activities that include being active.
4. Stay organized. I have set up some good systems this year. Now the trick will be to keep them up.
5. Get more involved. I am already on the board of a young pros group, but in 2013, I have also agreed to help out a non profit called My City Kitchen. Hopefully, I will be able to learn a lot from the experience while using my skills to help them get their word out.

Here's to 2013. May the new year bring you health, wealth, and happiness!

Sincerely,
Kayleigh Apicerno

Kayleigh's Favorite Quotes - Motivational

"Well, what are you gonna do"

"Prepare for the worst, hope for the best"

"It is what it is"

"So it goes"

"Don't sweat the small stuff"

"Shit happens"

All of these quotes have something in common. They deal with what is out of our control. These quotes tend to be said often and not without reason. Not much in this life can be controlled, so deal with it.

Strange

Thought,
It is so strange how two people can view the same concept, idea, or event in such different ways.
This election is only proving this. One candidate says something and it can be spun in so many different ways. Even I heard one phrase on two different occasions and thought it meant something completely different.
During a discussion with my friend, I began to realize we were talking about the same topic but our views of it were so different we would never see eye to eye on it.
Oh well. It is what it is.

Something For Everyone To Remember

Hello,

I found this someecard today and wanted to share it because it is so true. And I really do wish everyone could be happy. When you are happy, and I mean actually happy, everything seems better and brighter. 

I have been depressed and I have been truly happy. Let me tell you, happy is always better. And this goes for everyone. I want everyone to be happy. What a wonderful life this could be.

Happy Day,
Kayleigh

Fall Is Here

Dunkin Donuts has pumpkin coffee and there is a slight chill in the air! This can only mean one thing...Fall is here! I know Labor Day isn't until Monday, but why not start now?

Happy Day!

Bye Bye Draw Something

So I uninstalled Draw Free/Draw Something. Now that Zynga took over, the app takes forever to load and there are way too many ads. Not to mention the limited amount of bombs and color packs you can get now that they are trying to make more money.

I was so disappointed when I learned about the Zynga taking over. I knew this was going to happen. Draw Something was such a fun game; one of the only games I ever played on my phone. The game is just no fun anymore.

Oh well.

Unhappy ex-customer,
