The One Where Heather Thinks She Can Do Things

The other night I was flipping channels on the TV because I couldn't sleep, and I landed on the Discovery Channel, where they were showing a Man vs. Food marathon, which I have never seen before.

I watched, and decided it is my new favorite show.

How lucky is this guy? He gets his own TV show where he goes around the country, eating the best food ever. And TONS of it!

I decided I wanted to be him.

Does that not make you so jealous?
Also, I love how when restaurant chefs are demonstrating how to make their famous dishes, he calls the food "sexy". Haha!
But then, I got to the part of the show where he does the food competition. And as I watched him eat the spiciest sushi rolls ever, I decided "eh..." and then when he attempted the SIX POUND BURRITO (which looked so delicious) and I imagined the heartburn afterwards, I decided "not for me."



Yesterday, I was reading the news, and saw a story about a guy who was walking the distance of the Amazon river from source to the sea.
And I thought! "Amazing! I want to do it!"
I read some of his blogs, and looked at his pictures.



Beautiful!



Sleeping in a hammock in the rainforest, wouldn't it be inspiring?

Then I saw this:



And this:



And the other pictures of snakes and bugs and foot fungus... And I decided, "no." No, I will not walk the length of the Amazon ever in my life.

So those were my two bursts of wanting to do something crazy-awesome this week.

Then I went and played RockBand (and I was pretty dang awesome...in my imagination).
