random

Random Thoughts:

I'm still compiling all of my summer activities for you, in case you were wondering. Maybe by the time I am done with it, it will be really cold and it will take me back to the fun in the sun I had this summer.

I also fell off the weight loss band wagon. I am back in full force at work and it's been crazy. I have been so lazy when I come home at 8:30-9pm. that I don't want to do anything, even cook. We have been eating out like crazy and I have gained some (not all) pounds but I know that once I turn this apartment back into something wonderful, I will be back at losing the weight.

Which brings me to my next random thought - my apartment. It's in shambles. Complete and udder embarrassing shambles. Let me paint a picture - there was a foot and a half path from the front door to the living room that you could walk in between all the STUFF that I had laying everywhere. That STUFF was from summer camp, junk mail, shopping, my mom's house (that's another story for another time and place), Mark's Grandma's house, work, conferences, etc. Since Mark is working AND going to school full time AND I am working at work and at home MORE than full time, barely anything is able to get done. I became soooooo overwhelmed with it all that I didn't even know where to start...until this weekend. I've been a cleaning maniac today. It feels good. It felt good. And I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow.

Mark is graciously taking 3 bags and 3 boxes full of stuff  to Goodwill tomorrow AND we are getting a storage unit so we can properly use our closet space for the RIGHT reasons. Like hanging coats in and all that jazz. I didn't really know how cheap storage spaces were and if i did research before TODAY then I would have totally had one a long time ago. I can't wait to store the holiday decorations and the new appliances that Mark brought from his Grandma's house and the GIANT workout bench that I have concealed in my dining area AND everything else that we DON'T need right now.

One of my goals this year was to become more organized. Does it matter that we are approaching month eleven and I am just now taking the steps? Heck no...at least I'm doing something about it!

It's not too early

The holidays are fast approaching and it's that time again to think about Christmas cards!

cheers

So it's been about a hundred years since I last blogged. I think that I was just having a blast this summer and then got hit with the W word so hard that I couldn't even think straight. I still can't.

Work has been incredibly busy for me so I don't get a whole lot of me time. I mostly don't even get to use my laptop (I blog better on a computer) to do anything since I am either in my car or in my bed; unfortunately with my phone.

Once I find my camera USB (which is stuck in some bag that I used this summer), I will upload some pics of my FUN summer so ya'll don't start to think I am that lame.

Here's to more consistent blogging...
