July 2015

July

Bring it.  When I was in Italy I made it a goal to eat gelato every day and to try a different flavor each time. I think with this month it should be ice cream everyday and many flavors!

National Hot Dog Month
Americans consume approximately 818 hot dogs per second between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with the prime time being the Fourth of July holiday; hence July being named National Hot Dog Month.  During the July 4th weekend alone (the biggest hot-dog holiday of the year), 155 million will be downed.

Week 2: Nude Recreation Week
              Huh. Because it is so hot out? That's why people are nude? Oh my.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
