Those who know me know that I can be fairly disciplined about getting things accomplished. But what they may not know is how I maintain my discipline. It's pretty easy--get rid of all distractions and set goals. I am pretty competitive by nature so setting goals help me to "beat" myself to do the task at hand. That's also why we do not go shopping often, own game consoles, or have a television in the house. However, I have moments of weakness. Lately, my greatest weakness has been Korean dramas. I stopped watching these shows because they just suck me in and all I think about all day long is that drama.
For my non-Asian friends, Korean dramas are equivalent to HBO drama specials but 1000 times better. They are usually one season and 16-20 episodes and there is a beginning and an end. They take sterotypical or cultural situations and magnify them--there is either someone dying of leukemia or a wealthy person in love with a poor person or some sort of moral dilemma.
The one I recently finished watching was called City Hunter. So good!!! And now I'm watching Scent of a Woman. So good!!! After I finish this show, I should go back into hiatus...
I need to learn balance though. Having EV makes me think about this more. Seeing how she's so much like me, it makes me think about all my good and bad aspects. It makes me think about what I can do to make sure that she's a better person than I am. Most days I feel like all I can do is pray. Having EV also makes me think about what I say, think, and act. Evangeline, you make momma want to be better. You make me want to grow closer to God.
