zzzzzzzzzz!

I haven't been sleeping great and it was friday so I took a quarter of a sleeping pill last night.  Not a whole one or even a half.   A quarter.  I slept for 12 hours!  I probably would have gone into a coma if I had taken the whole thing.  Today I am feeling rested and happy to still be living! Ha!

Week 52

I can't believe it has already been a year since I started these lists. Time is just flying by. In just 5 more days, I will have been married for 2 years. It seems like it just happened!

Anyway, this list is about things I am currently obsessing over. Pretty easy since I have a slight bit of OCD.

1. Buying a house. Right now we are weighing the options of single family vs townhouse. There are pros and cons to both. I'm not sure yet.  I feel like we are getting closer though.  I'm getting excited.

2. Spending (awake) time with Kurt. I know that it sounds silly but he is back to working graves until his co-worker recovers from a motorcycle accident so the time that we are both awake and together is few and far between.

3. Shorts and sandals. I am so sick of long pants and tennis shoes!  I am just so much more comfortable when I'm not roasting.  Maybe it's super early menopause.  I don't know, but man! I do have to wear a polo at work though and that doesn't help with the heat.

4. My Zoogue iphone cases.  I just had to "like them" on their website and they gave me a code for a free phone case.  I just had to pay shipping.  I bought 6 and used the code on all of them.  I really like the cases too.

5. Babies.  Is everyone having a baby except me right now?  It sure seems like it!  I know that it wouldn't fit into my life plan right now but man am I getting baby hungry!  I just keep telling myself that we are getting a house first!

Thanks weekly lists! Sometimes I have loved you and sometimes I have despised you but I'm happy to say I made it though!

Week 51

I'm writing this one from the road on our {annual} trip to Vegas. You would think I would get a little more used to this drive. Anyway,this list is entitled: Wouldn't it be cool if...

1. We won a bunch of money in Vegas and could buy one of the houses that I've been drooling over on the mls.

2. Stay at home moms got paid for the work they do. My career path would be set.

3. I could stop spilling food on every shirt that I own!

4. I could re-do my wedding now that pinterest exists.

5. America valued curvy women like Polynesian countries do.

6. I could have a time share to all the places I want to go.

7. Everyone had a closet like on Clueless and a personal stylist.

8. Dyson made a full body air slice dryer.

9. I could get a 5 year tattoo so I could decide if I really want a permanent one.

10. It was acceptable to wear yoga pants all day every day.

Jiffy Pop!

I got to relive a little bit of my childhood again last night.  I have never made popcorn using a jiffy pop before.  I know what you are thinking.  How have you missed that? Especially being the avid camper that you are?  Well, I don't know, but I've done it now and it was GREAT!  I got to share this first time experience with my nephew Kayden.  Here are some photos of the grand event!

He was real excited to be in this photo.

Getting a little more excited as it starts popping.

Oh, the unwrapping! I'm just so excited!

Yummy stale and kind of burned popcorn!

 It was very fun!

Week 50

I'll be honest.  I'm getting bored of making lists.  However, it is also about the only blogging I'm doing lately.  I'm two weeks away from finishing out the year and I can't help but wonder what I will blog about after it's over.  I will work on doing better! 

 

Week 49

Four Quotes I Know To Be True At 24

1. "I can only please one person per day.  Today I choose me." Sometimes you need to be a little selfish.  People will walk all over you if you aren't willing to put yourself first every once in a while.  

2. "The less you give a damn, the happier you will be."  Sometimes it seems like everyone has an opinion about what is right for you.  Follow your heart and do what you think is best. 

3.  "A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything"  There is a day and night difference from a time when everything is too serious versus a funny time.  Those are the times you remember anyway. 

4. "Your dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady."  Love your body and accept your flaws.  This doesn't mean to stop caring about health, but just be happy with who you are.  

Week 48

My cousin Heather has been one of my best friends for a long time.  She has always been there for me and I really appreciate her.  She is the reason I'm glad that families can be friends forever.
