It hasn’t been that long….but, it feels like it!!

This has been a crazy weekend, starting with our winter trip to the zoo. Before you have me committed, let me explain!!! There was a really nice giraffe lady that told us to come in the winter because many of the animals are more active and vocal during the cold months. So…we decided to brave the cold….and it was WORTH it!! Not only did we learn that our (<–yes we’ve staked claim) giraffe has finally become pregnant, but holy crap the animals were relishing the cold weather. The lions were playing…and growling like crazy, the elusive red panda was playing in the snow, oh and we learned the zoo has a Starbucks. It was fantastic! Not to mention…no one goes to the zoo when it’s cold so we practically had the place to ourselves. 🙂 We learned the birds created this beautiful 200lb nest in the atrium, which we’ll be posting pictures of, and when the cold became too much there were plenty of indoor exhibits to warm up in. 🙂 By far, it was one of my favorite trips to the zoo.

Aside from that, we also had my sister’s birthday and birthday party. Talk about chaos….*groan*. Currently, we are working on science fair projects…right before bed time. -.-

I failed slacked on my eating and workout plan. BUT!!! Tomorrow is a new day and we’ll be right on track again. Early morning run down will go as follows: 5am alarm, 15-20 min of yoga, 1mile run, 1st day of Insanity, then of course…..breakfast!!!! Oh..did I forget to mention my brother put Insanity on my phone so we could transfer it to the computer…? I will start it tomorrow, and I’m taking weekly photos that I may or may not post on here. Eff it….we’ve all been there right? By this time next year…the goal is to be the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life! Fit and strong…not skinny fat, not underweight, not starving.

I make it a point to let you know when I screw up as well as when I’m doing well, so that you know you’re not alone. The key idea is to stay positive and never give up. So you ate that extra slice of pizza….evaluate, learn, and keep going!

Hopefully everyone is having a great weekend!!!

Missing You

Posted in Daily struggles, Life, Work, tagged , , , , on April 20, 2012| 2 Comments »

I haven’t blogged in so long it’s like going to a foreign country for the first time. What’s new, what’s new….hmmm where to start is the real question. I’m sitting in my kitchen right now staring down the dishes willing them to wash themselves…..it hasn’t happened yet but, I’m determined. Conquering the telepathic abilities is top priority today. I’m going to Eat that Frog …so to speak. (For all of those who are confused, it’s a self-help book about procrastination hahaha)

Ahem, anyhow, I have officially become a stay at home mommy again. Everyone jump up and say YAY! My life still feels just as busy as when I worked full-time, but, I’m always home. So, I dig it. I’m getting married in two months, well less than two months…and I’ve never been happier :D. <–That deserves another yay. All together now….YAY. Sometimes it is kind of weird to be home all day, like look at me blog, I haven’t had the energy or the inspiration to write one measly sentence in months. Yet here I am, getting back to my roots. The plan is to keep up with both of my blogs and start managing an etsy account. YEAH, etsy….I’m jumping on the bandwagon. What I’m thinking is I’ll start off with a few nail designs on artificial nails, some cute drawing journals for kids, and knitted wash cloths for babes to see how well it takes off. Who knows, maybe I’ll have a full-fledged crafting business by the end of summer. HEY, don’t judge…..I can dream :D. I have all this crafting crap in my closet that has not been getting anyyyy good use, so I might as well start-up the things I love and make a living out of it. Now if only I could get myself on a decent schedule…..I have a great sleep schedule, I need a working from home schedule…. I suck at organizing.

OH! Forgot to mention, I also have started a zoo…yep you heard me a zoo. I have my pup, Ollie….my bearded dragon, Godzilla…..my psycho beta fish, Tank…..a gajillion tadpoles, No Name haha. I’m working on getting a rat, because their cute. Or another lizard. I’m not sure yet…one day when I become an Etsy god, I think I’ll look into the Savannahs again. They’re beauuuuutiful and the size of a dog, but, they’re a cat. A cat that looks like a leopard. A cat that costs more than 3 thousand dollars…..heh.

So, just like the dinosaurs, I’m Baaaack.
