Phase Two: Step 12

Yet another task where I thought I was "centered", which kind of makes it harder to do what they want me to do. Today I had to optimise my spontaneity. I know that I tend to be spontaneous for certains things and at other times I'm systematic. It all depends of the task at hand. I don't think I constantly behave one way. Granted I'm not as systematic as my husband. He has to plan things - must be his programming mind that affects every aspects of his life or something.

If I'm normally spontaneous they suggested that I make plans for something that's going to happen in the future. So, I made up a list of things to do for my garage sale next Saturday. I've prepared my signs, grouped my things per categories (dishes, books, purses together, etc.), priced most of everything. Tonight during our walk I thought about where I wanted to put up my signs and in which paper I would advertise. Now if next Saturday can only be sunny!

If I'm normally systematic, they suggested to do something more spontaneous. So, I made muffins (like I do every week, for hubby) and improvised with the recipe a little. I grilled some coconut and added some chunks of pineapple to the recipe. They came out quite nice, and they sure did smell good! Will have a taste tomorrow morning.

I just look at tomorrow's task and again I'm behaving both ways, depending on my mood or environment. This phase is not the same at all as Phase One... Since I think that I'm not just one way it makes it weird (I think) a little. But at least I'm still doing it... and it's making me realise how I do behave. Just for that I'd say, it's a good thing.

Actually hubby IM'ed me saying they were quite good. Had one as well and I must say that was a good experiment.

If you want the recipe I'll e-mail it to you.
