To those who love to write,

In my junior year of high school, I received a journal with a frog on the front. I still have that journal somewhere at home in Minnesota. Ever since then I have been writing in a journal. it calms me down to see my handwriting and to write down my thoughts.

Lately though, I haven't been writing as much as I would like. I am attempting to get back on track because writing is something that I really enjoy. Sometimes life is moving so fast that I forget about doing things that I enjoy. I also think that ideas come out as well and I need them for my next etching!!!

Trying to write everyday for a bit,

P.S. It is interesting to know how others see you.

Dear bring-your-own lunch eaters,

I discovered that one of my favorite things is not only eating my lunch but packing it before I head to the city!!! Lately, my lunches consist of a sandwich, fruit, homemade banana bread, granola, pita chips, carrots and yogurt. I really look forward to eating today's beautiful sandwich (ham, avocado, cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, mayo and mustard on roll with poppy and caraway seeds). I get a bit nervous when I feel like I did not bring enough food to work!

One of my roommates probably thinks I am crazy. I am always doing something with food when he sees me or napping.

Eating well,
My-Linh

P.S. I am saving money by bringing my own lunch which helps.

To those who find balance,

I have been working 6 days for the last few months and it was stressing me out. I always need to be somewhere.

However, I found something that makes me real happy!!! My only day off is Friday. I either bake a nice treat or work on some artwork. I also find someone who doesn't work on Friday to have lunch with.

Next, I need to figure out how to fit exercising into my life. I have been choosing to bike to my boyfriend's house occasionally.

Balancing on my head,
My-Linh

Dear NFL viewers,

NFL's first game is in the forth quarter and yes, the Vikings are playing the Saints!!! I enjoy watching, however, the Vikings look a little like they have been in the past. They are a bit shake-y and with no rhythm or rhyme and too many penalties. I feel like I am a nervous wreck. We have a pretty good team with Harvin back,the famous never going to retire silver fox Brett Farve, and our fierce Allen.

I love watching sports!!! I hope you like sports too.

Hoping for wins,
My-Linh

P.S. I am back writing again!!! Working six days a week is a bit much but I need it. I think I have found a bit of a balance though.
