I'm beginning to wonder if I'm becoming some sort of neat/clean-freak.

Ever since I moved into the new house in June, I've made a habit of vacuuming/Swiffering the floors every other week or so. I'm not perfect when it comes to putting the dishes away, but by no means is the sink ever over-flowing with dirty dishes. I suppose I just really like the look, smell and feel of a nice, clean house.

My bedroom is the worst of it, since I don't quite have enough room for all of my clothes (plus Danny's!) to hang in the closet or fit in the dresser. I know I need to go through and take out stuff for Good Will, but I just never seem to get around to that. Once we get a system in place where we can store our clothes properly, it will really reduce the mess in my bedroom. But at least the sheets get changed every other week.

Anyway, just reflecting!

It has been a whirlwind past few days! I was going full-speed all weekend, helping Danny move stuff out to Matt and Jen's new house near Chesapeake Beach, and then going out on the boat all day with friends on Saturday. Sunday was actually pretty lazy, but that's ok.

Danny talked to his dad a few days ago, and we're going down to Galveston next week to the beach. The only thing I'm dreading is being in a bathing suit, unfortunately. I just feel self-conscious, and I have plenty of weight left to lose. Not to mention it's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel, and oceans are looking pretty darn scarey right now :)

After a lot of thought, I'm going to forego the pony for the immediate future. I've been thinking of a puppy lately, too, but I think the best thing will be another adult dog. A friend for Ella that doesn't need as much work as a puppy. I'm going to be looking at Humane Society and maybe so local rescue dogs. I'm hesitant to search Craigslist, because I feel like people just put their problem dogs on there. Anyway, I'm off to do cost-analysis and look at dogs!
