It summer and I've been slacking on the posts but not the home improvement. My dad has been visiting the last 4-5 days and we have been busy doing some home improvement. The first task on the list was to fix my kitchen. On a cold rainy night in January Brett and I thought hmmm lets paint our kitchen red. Well lets just say it was a really really bad idea. I can not paint WELL and when someone cannot paint WELL red is not the color to go with. I can easily cross PAINTER off the list of possible jobs in my future. So thankfully my dad came up from so cal to paint the kitchen off white. WOW what a difference it makes. I love it. While he was up we also installed a ceiling fan, new outlets, painted the living room and other small stuff. I feel like there is still so much to do around my house but things are definitely getting better. My dad leave tomorrow and then the countdown begins till the 4th of July.

ready for vacay

Tonight I lost a little momentum. It was awkward from the start...I came home fro work and didn't want to go to the gym and then the mail came containing 3 movies from netflix..basically all the discs from season 7 of "The Shield" I watched one and then went on a 10 min. walk. I think I am just ready for vacay....ohhh when will it come.

Awwwww me time!

As I type this I have to say how relaxed I am. As I lay here in my pretty clean house I am listening to the hubby play piano. I love when he plays. t relaxes him at night and me. Today was a good day...I feel motivated! I did pretty good eating and went to the gym with Brett. He knew wasn't really feeling it so we did a quick workout together. Now I am just winding down before I do some reading and watch a movie. I leave for Kern in a week and can not wait. I feel like I need to just get away sometimes.

A WEEK LATER

Well jeez it's only a week later and I finally am doing my 2ND blog. I can't get to discouraged however since a friend of mine (Jamie) created one for me last year and yes a year later I still didn't create anything myself on it. So needless to say I am making improvement. I went on a great walk with Jame today and ran errands all over town. I have really been trying to be a healthier person so I ate pretty good but now I feel all bloated. Darn fiber and fruit.

I think if I can really watch the beer and sugar intake I will be on my way to loosing a few pounds and toning up!

You gotta start somewhere

I'm starting my first blog tonight. Yippee! With tonight being a Tuesday all I can say is...its almost hump day which means I am looking forward to the weekend. Tonight was a great night because I was able to do a few of my favorite things...go to the gym, take a little nap, watch season 4 of the weeds and go to Target. Sure cleaning the house might have been a great idea but hey...that's what the weekends for. As for one last goal for tonight I need to and want to do my nightly reading. My hubby and I are trying to buckle down and finish our bibles from cover to cover in 1 year. We do nightly readings but since he's not here every night I skip sometimes. Well I am off to read and then to bed I go!
