Loving the Cool Summer Nights

Even though it was muggy outside, as soon as we drove from PA and got near our street in MD, you could tell a definite temperature change. Pretty much due to the winding stream by my house. It was super cool and breezy.

We went out for dinner last night. We went to Keystone Diner. It was a cute little place. With kick-butt calamari. We might go for breakfast this morning. Their water was definitally PA water. Something I'm not used to. Bleh!

Then we went to Staples! And Justin let me fill up a cup full of binder clips and paper clips. For only $5.99!! I was super excited. He got bored waiting after 30 minutes because I tried to cram every single paper clip I could into that thing. He called it stingey...I called it getting our monies worth! We got a good laugh.

Off to grab a shower and then to work later today! I have a pretty chilled out day, hanging at the Service Desk. Yay!!

First Day

I drove up to PA today to go with my sister-in-law to get Brooke off the bus today from her first day in kindergarten at Baresville Elementary School.
These are just a little backwords.

Brooke enjoying her after-school donut.

She didn't like her smoothie much.
Sitting on the "stoop" waiting for mommy.
Getting off the bus. Here comes the bus!


After a long day of craftiness and hair coloring...and playing with my little ponies, I was pooped. Justin was so cute. He had dinner ready for me when I got home tonight. Chicken tacos. Needless to say I did not get to enjoy them. My acid reflux has been really acting up this week and I ate a little and felt sick. I still feel nauseated. On that note, I'm going to bed and try not to get sick.

Crafty Notebooks

So, I spent 3 hours today decorating my binders for school. Call me dorky...I'd like to think I am organized and crafty. The cutting didn't take long at all since I have a machine for that. The gluing took the longest. The grass hopper one is my favorite :]

Work, Work, Work

That's all I feel like I do. Is work. Last night I didn't get home until 1:05 am from work. Today wasn't bad, I had a baby shift. Tomorrow is going to be brutal. Another supervisor needed the night off so I picked up her shift. I work 10-5 then 6:30-10:30. Guess what I'll be doing with my 1 1/2 hours...you got it! Sleeping.

On a happier/sadder note, Brooke starts kindergarten this year. I am so excited for her to learn gobs of new things. But is it completely selfish that I want her to stay young forever. She's growing up too fast. I'm hoping to catch some kodak moments of her first day.

On a related note, I don't really care to go back to school. BUT I did go school shopping today. I always love getting new stationary and office supplies. Justin calls me a nerd...maybe so.

Girls Day Out :]

Today was pretty awesome! I got to sleep in for a while and then got up and my grandmother made me fried green tomatoes. Mmmm my fave! Then we went and got our nails done :] Mine are like a dark orange. And hers are french with a design! She's a pretty kick-butt grandmother, if I do say so myself. On the way home I stopped by a produce market and got Justin some patty-pan squash. Boy was he surprised :] He's playing video games with his niece and nephew. Who knows what the rest of the night holds...probably a movie and popcorn :] oh! and a picture update later...but I think I might get my hair highlighted tomorrow.

Wild Animals

So...the other morning when I was leaving for work I spotted this awesome-looking spider web on this bush-like-nature-thing on my front porch. It was covered in dew and I couldn't help but a take a picture.

Oh! Diet update....I lost another pound. I haven't been exercising as much as I should. I have the hardest time getting up earlier than I have to in the morning. But still loosing...pretty cool.

Oh! and p.s. - I LOVE SECRETS :]

Sunflowers

Instead of the usual pink or purple flowers, I opted to get my mom sunflowers!! Aren't they pretty?!




OH! on the brighter side of things...the weather today was amazing :] Couldn't have been prettier.

I should be a hair stylist :]

BECAUSE... I did my hair super cute today! I got bored with it already and decided to do something new :]

Off to my mom's ...

Nothing New

Not much to report here today. I was a lazy bones and couldn't tear myself out of my snuggley bed to go down into my freezing basement and run. Tomorrow I sure will. You can count on it.

Tomorrow will be a rollercoaster of a day! Running, going to my mom's cemetary (Sunday would have been her 47th birthday), probably a nap and then work 6-10. Baby shift tomorrow...YES!

Just so I can get up tomorrow morning...goodnight :]

Torture

I put myself on this diet and my goal is to loose at least 20 pounds. I would like to loose at least 10 by the time that I go back to school. And dare I say...this diet is torture. Unlike other diets I have been on, this is the only one have stuck to for more than 2 days. I usually cave when I see sweets and coffee. Oh man, is coffee a weakness for me. And by I love coffee, I mean...I love a little coffee with my cream and sugar. Not the healthiest thing. Although, I did have a small cup today with minimal sugar and a little creamer.

I have also started exercising more often. The other day I jogged at least 3/4 of a mile. Some days I feel better than others. Today I have a headache and I feel tired. Probably from a lack of excess carbs and sugar. My iPod glued to my ear doesn't help matters either!

So far I have lost 1.6 pounds since I started this endeavor on Sunday 8/10. Keep your fingers crossed :]

New Hair

So I got angry with my hair and I decided to chop it all off! Take a looksie...

For Starters...

I got bored one day and decided to explore Google and meandered my way to BlogSpot! This thing is nifty! I might like it more than MySpace!

Anywho...this is pretty much my blog about my life and things, but Justin is a huge part of my life so I put his name on it too!

I just finished with my Human Exceptionalities class and I am currently waiting for my final grade. I am very impatient when it comes to school, so this is torture for me! And Oh No! a letter will not suffice, I must have an actual percentage!

As I patiently await my grades ... I am going to get my hair cut tonight ... fingers crossed :]
