Brussel Sprouts::Testing the Unknown

Testing the Unknown, the uncomfortable, the uneasy...

It's all quite exciting actually...I welcome new opportunities, possibilities, experiences, relationships, ideas! Though I must say, I also love the comfort and stability of those everyday moments, routines, nuances that just seem to make the day flow smoothly. Moments like letting our big girls out of their bed BEFORE the little ones (mostly because they are talking so loudly that you just want to shut them up, but more so they don't trample the little ones as they barrel down the hallway pouncing over the couches and out the door). Moments like that wonderful kiss goodbye, before walking out the door to start your day, that would just throw everything off kilter should you go without it! Moments like instictfully heading straight in to change into comfy pj pants and a hoody, because the day of fashion is clearly over! Moments such as needing that armpit to snuggle into, otherwise falling asleep is far too difficult! There are so many small moments in the day, that are so comfortable you don't even really acknowledge them.

Then those are those moments, of really any size, that just test you. Mine today was so minute, it was really quite stupid. I have grown up firmly believing that I HATE, no truly despise, brussel sprouts. Honestly, I've never tried them, but apparently my mom has hated them all my life, so like mother like daughter (we'll blame her). So today, I finally get to catchup with my parents over dinner, and what's on the menu?...brussel sprouts! Of course they also make broccoli and peas, beacuse brussel sprouts = EWWWWW, but I decided to test the unknown and give them a shot at my taste buds. Honestly they weren't too bad. Don't get me wrong, they weren't good, but they weren't bad. They were actually rather bland and kind of remind me of a leafy lima bean, so I guess you could say I was indifferent.

So why, you ask, am I blogging about a rather ugly vegetable? Well because it's a new year, a new month, a new day. I've decided to get uncomfortable and test the unkown professionally, planning lots of fun new changes and announcements for Cattura Photography over the next few months...so why not test the unknown personally as well?! And yes, that means testing even those silly minute unknowns, like do I really hate brussel sprouts?...ehhh, indifferent! (Side note - I even tested whether or not I really hate jelly, and NO...it's actually quite good on an english muffin!)

Who knows, by the end of the year, I could have a whole new diet of preference. So what kind of unknowns are you going to test?
