"Happy" Monday, friends...

So, it's Monday, and our weekend was JAM PACKED with stuff to do... it was fun, though! Friday, I was off work, but I was watching Jason's cousin's 10 year old daughter, Miranda. She had spent the night on Thursday because I'm off work on Friday's... I was concerned because--besides dogs--I really haven't been responsible for another life. Plus, we have NOTHING of interest for a 10 year old girl anywhere in our home. But we ordered a pizza, watched a movie and then she went to bed. Easy enough. Jason and I watched Game 1 of the Hawks (they lost) and called it a night.

Friday morning, we went and got our nails done, which was fun. I was looking like a boy with my nawed off nails, so I bought me some fake ones :) Pretty. We had my friend Sarah's wedding Friday night, and it was AMAZING. We had so much fun - the decorations, food, drinks, EVERYTHING was incredible! Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Noble!

Saturday, I had to work (gay) until 2pm and then I went home and immediately took a 2 hour nap. It was glorious. Jason was busy painting the house while I slept. We then spent the evening with our friends Jim and Gentrie (who are expecting a little one in August - along with EVERY OTHER PERSON I know haha) and watched Game 2 of the Hawks (they won). Great game.

Yesterday, we surprised our friend Kaleb with a 30th birthday party, so it was nice to chill out and relax with friends.... And POOF... that's the weekend. I'm back at work now in my office full of boxes and trying to get motivated to get some solid work done. Maybe I can try again tomorrow...?

So that's that. I'm really focused on getting to the gym everyday this week and eating healthy. It's going to be my first priority from now on. My goal is to lose 10lbs. I just want to feel better, too. So, I'll update you all on how that's going.

Have a great Monday, people!



Already slacking.

So I didn't get to post again last night... I worked a bit later and then decided it was more important to spend time with my husband and my two fur kids rather than blogging. All in all yesterday was a good day. I stuck to my diet (I'm sure I'll be posting a lot about my weight/excersice routine, so deal with it) :). I did not workout, but I didn't eat a Klondike bar for dinner like I did on Monday night, so I'm going to chalk that up as a win in my book.

Today, I'm going to plow through my work and try to go to the gym... I need to get back into the swing of things, AND I'm paying $10 a month for it, so I might as well get my money's worth lol...

We are in the process of updating our house a bit--We put in new dark wood floors in the kitchen and foyer, so we had to change all of our trim from oak to white woodwork... It's been a long process, but it's looking pretty sweet, so that's good. Meanwhile, all of the doors in our house are off the hinges so Jason can paint them, which means no privacy whatsoever. I pee, the dogs are there. But they smell like Fritos, so I don't mind. Here are a few pics of "before" and "after" of the house. I like it.

Little by little, we're getting to where we want to be... I need to get cracking on planting flowers this year... I skipped it last year, and the year before I only put up a hanging basket. Pathetic. So that's it. Nothing like blogging to make you realize how boring your life is... haha.

In conclusion, here's a picture of my fur loves for you to enjoy. They make me smile.



Back at it... I think?

So apparently I started a blog back in 09 and did one post then stopped. Typical. I really don't know what I'm doing - as you can see - but I do want to try this out again.

I started a new job at Westwood College, and so far, so good. I'm a Field Admissions Rep, and I get to work with high school kids on a daily basis... I feel like I'm still in high school, so it works out well.

Today, I just feel weird... I'm cold, I'm pissy & I just want to be home in my jams. Such is life. Instead, I'm working until about 7pm, and then I'm going to try my damndest (is that a word? it is now) to get to the gym. I think if I start on a regular workout routine, I'll feel better and "less weird" but who knows? I've also recently wanted to pick up a new hobby, so maybe blogging is it. We'll see how long it takes for me to get bored and quit. Wish me luck! :)

I'll try to hop on again tonight and wrap up my day. After I smell my dogs' paws, of course.
