// Established my one repetition maximum for deadlift -- 185 lb!
// Finished The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. If habit = patterns of human behavior then anything pertaining to human behavior is a habit? Enjoyed and learned a lot from this book despite being a little too all-encompassing due to the inadequate/borderline useless word habit.

// Ordered a pair of Paul Green shoes a few days ago - they are en route. As I was looking over my Nordstrom wish list this morning I saw that they went on sale! I called Nordstrom (wait time to speak to an actual person: 15 seconds plus no menu to navigate!) and they awarded me the price adjustment ($125!!!) Take-aways:
1. Always shop at Nordstrom for the best customer service and experience.
2. Monitor your wish list! VIGILANCE, FRIENDS.

Tell all the truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies

// Roasted onions. Still perfecting this but so far tasty results with slicing off the ends, peeling, cutting in half and placing the larger surface down on a foil-lined baking sheet, smearing with oil/bacon grease, roasting until soft. (So far I've tried 425 for about 30 minutes).
Here's to dazzling gradually! Have a great week, friends!
