In a mood...

I'm in a mood today. a bad one.

i HATE being in a bad mood.

today i told my husband that i didnt like my job. and in fact didnt really like people today. and now hes working till the wee hours of the night (or you know, till 1130-ish)

i called my parents house to vent and my momma wasnt there so i vented to my dad. he listened faithfully (but hates the phone...) so after about 8 minutes he told me to make sure and call back when my mom was home. LOL

SO. i decided to try and counter-act my mood.

Here are some of my very favorite things, things that make me happy.

In no particular order:

Um, yeah hi. Walker, Texas Ranger--you rock my little socks.

Hahaha Joe looks like he's doing the Thriller dance

My nieces!!!

Cheers

Hard to stay in a bad mood when this is what you are driving home looking at. Isnt it? Happy March 1st everyone.
Cheers!

Re-take on "I have never..."

I call this the "Do you ever...?"

Like, do you ever go to say something and then blank totally out?

do you ever forget the salt in the cookies you're making and they turn out horrible?

do you ever forget to put milk on the grocery list, go to the store reminding yourself of the milk, and go home only to realize that you didnt actually BUY the milk?

or how about this?

do you ever look back at your life and smile?

or wonder what wouldve happened if you sent that letter to your ex's parents after you broke up? (yeah. i just found a letter i wrote my ex's family after we broke up...i keep looking at it and cant decide what i do with it now!)

do you ever wonder about the conversations you might have had with those that have since passed on?

do you ever sit and wonder why you dont allow yourself to have silly fun more?

or do you ever think of what your future kids will look like? (will they have Jace's dark hair and my blue eyes...because--TO. DIE. FOR.)


These are some of my "Do you evers..." lately. Do you have any??

SUCCESS!

i.
finally.
finished.
the.
book.

shrugged.

hallelujah.

How you doin'?

So, just so we can see how well i'm doing on my 25 before 25 list:

**create an ornament wreath--CHECK.
**read and finish atlas shrugged--ALMOST CHECK. Im about half way there.

(BIGGEST UNDERTAKING OF MY LIFE.)

and yeah. thats all i got. i better get myself in gear.

A letter to myself:

Dear Me:

Remember how you looked at yourself in the mirror and realized that you were like really really overweight?

Remember when you scored a job at a fairly close salon?

Remember when you and your husband were down to just one car and he was going to need it for work?

Remember when your brain came up with THIS idea? "I can just ride my bike to AND from work! it'll be the perfect plan! J can have the car, and i'll get in FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC shape!"

Remember how you've been only riding the bike FROM work for the last few days??

Remember how you wanted to die after only ONE mile that first day?

Remember how you sat at the light waiting for the "WALK" sign to come on and silently cursed your legs, AND yourself for being so out of shape?

Remember how you went to spinning class and almost cut off your legs after 30 minutes while your sister in laws were kicking your trash?

yeah. I remember that too. foolish.

Valentine's Craft

These crafts started out because I have almost NO Vday decorations!

Last year i cut out like a BILLION hearts and heart attacked the inside of our house. I kept them and did it again this year, but i wanted something else.

So i thought? WREATH!

I made ONE and LOVED IT. So i made my mom one, and my SIL Melanie one (she doesnt have much for decorations either!) and then i made one for my friend Lauren (the BusyBee) for her 23rd Bday! and one for my friend Katie. Her 24th is in a few days.

So much fun. So much mess! You should really see our floor/couch. Fabric EVERYWHERE. but SO worth it!
