1. Weight-loss update: 18lbs gone (and counting). Hurray! I couldn’t be more excited about my progress. We started at the beginning of February…I think that’s pretty darn good for three months.
2. Hates this time of year…ONLY because all our shows end. Well, they ended last week for the most part and because we were at the beach we are catching up this week. I’m most excited about the Supernatural finale, but the most sad because I LOVE watching new episodes. I keep putting it off because I know when I watch it that’s all- that’s it, for MONTHS. At least it’s not over forever, so I have something to look forward to in the fall. On a positive note- I got every season for Christmas so I gotta get the hubby caught up.
3. I got the hubster an AWESOME fathers day gift, I am SO excited about it. I hope he loves it as much as I do, lol!!
4. My kid amazes me. More everyday. Every morning I wake up and there is something new to discover about him. My heart just swells with pride (literally, I can feel it in my chest). For instance, he is SO polite and I’m like when did he learn this?! I don’t remember me being so sweet, so smart…so young (maybe I wasn't, lol). He says things like, “thank you!” every time you help him, do something for him, etc... “I’m sorry” when he does something that he immediately knows could have hurt you or wasn’t nice. “Please!” when he asks you to do something for him. “Yes ma’am, Yes sir, etc…” I mean I know they do this- especially if it’s what you teach them to do, but at 2 ½ ?! I guess I just assumed that their little minds were too busy exploring and imagining to be concerned with the simplistic(s) of being polite. It just makes me really proud knowing that we are raising such a great kid. Not only am over the moon proud of him, but I am really proud of his daddy and myself- It’s our life goal to be the best parents to him and to raise him to be an amazing man of great character.
5. I’m thinking it’s about time for some cupcake baking. As part of my mother’s day gift I got this awesome book with about a bazillion recipes of some delicious looking cupcakes. I have been thru the book a couple times and am ready to dive in and give one a try. I bake them, then usually have one bite to taste test them before giving them out to anybody and everybody…poor hubby, he usually only gets one (the one where the icing didn’t set right, the least pretty one- lol), bless his heart.
6. My mind is already racing trying to figure out when and where our next vacation will be, crazy?!? maybe, it’s just how I’m made up. Actually, that a complete lie- I started thinking about the next one while on the last one. Luckily, I have a hubby who is just as crazy as I am about going on a holiday. A couple things have been thrown out there- I just don’t know what will happen. We’re early planners- so I’m sure we’ll begin to figure it out sooner than later. If once a year we go somewhere we haven’t been and then the beach for sheer love and tradition of it, I’m thinking that would make for a great year. Anything or any place extra would be simply delightful. This year, so far, we have been to Las Vegas, Charleston and Myrtle Beach…so, as the famous Lo say’s… “What’s next?!?” (Better start saving our pennies now!)
7. I’m pretty thankful that the end of the world did in fact NOT happen (I thought that it was a LOAD of BS myself, but what do I know, right?! Now, of course, it was a mis-calculation and the end of the world will now happen in five months...whatever!). Although, I know where I’m going when I go, I’m not ready to go! Plain and Simple. There are people that will say, “I’m eagerly awaiting the day when I can leave this world!”- and that kinda leaves me questioning myself because, well, I am not!! Does that make me less of a person?!? Honestly, I don’t think so. I just feel differently about the subject. I have a lot of living left to do; I have a lot left to see, to experience.
8. I am a bit behind on my Project Life book. With everything that has been happening I haven’t had the time to get caught up. The past couple of days I have had a bit of time but have been a little under the weather and simply didn’t feel like it…Here’s hoping soon, because I am SUPER eager and it’s weighing on my mind. I hate being behind.
9. I have SO many movies to make (another thing weighing on my mind!). I am new to this whole movie making thing, (I love to learn new things). For a person that KNOWS how to make them it takes a great deal of time, I can only imagine how long it will take me only half way knowing what I’m doing, therefore, I keep putting it off. I am excited about getting them made- but am so far behind that I have NO idea where to begin- ughers.
10. I feel like we have so much to do…the more I sit here and write this entry the more things I think about that need to be done, good lord, I have worked myself into a frenzy. On top of those small matters listed above, we have to get our car fixed (from the hail damage), we need to clean our car out (with vacations it has become a mess), we need to get more mulch for in front of our house (it was completely washed away with the bad storms we have had recently) - in addition to that the grass needs to be cut, weeds need to be pulled- and the outdoor list continues. We need to clean the inside of our house ( I cleaned before vacation but then we come home, we’re here for a couple days and it looks as if a tornado has touched down or something…ok, maybe not THAT bad). Holy smokes, I’m off to make a checklist (it’s how I roll) so that we can get some of this stuff conquered, wish me luck.
