Productivity is My Friend



So, I realized I was quite unhappy at the beginning of the week and pinpointed it to being unproductive. I never thought my 52" would get the better of me, but it had! If I had the discipline to do it, I'd cancel my cable, but I love my Biggest Loser and Grey's too much.

By the way, Grey's season finale tonight!!!!!

So, in lieu of cancelling my cable, I've decided to cross off one To Do item on my mental checklist every evening when I get home. I don't have a stressful job, I sit on my toosh the majority of the time, and I don't have kids yet, so when I do get home I'm still pretty energetic.

For instance, Monday I cleared off my overly decorated dresser and simplified it...sooooo much nicer! And I dusted the house which had been neglected last weekend. Oh, and I attended Matt's first ever softball game. He was so excited and did so well considering he hasn't done anything minutely athletic in about 10 years (love ya, babe!)

Last night, I baked cookies for our vaca this weekend, oh and I ordered the SIMPLE Cooking Cookbook (mind you, this is the FIRST ever cookbook I have ever paid for), but Matt said the recipes in there looked sooooo good, so I shall surprise him with an amazing dinner....someday.

I'm trying to write concisely but I just tend to go on and on and on.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm so exciting to be going to Vegas with the love of my life tomorrow!

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s...

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of ...

Piercings, Puppies and Push-Ups

Yes, it has been 2 months since I've written. No, I haven't been living under a rock during that time. I admitted at the beginning of this blogging adventure that I'm not consistent with it and that it overwhelms me.  For all those non-bloggers out there, blogging is challenging. I find that I look at experiences in the light of, "Oh, my readers would like this!" or "What have I learned from this that I can write about?" Obviously, it's much easier to just coast through normal, boring days and even eventful, trying days without a time of retrospection. So, I am coming forth and admitting that I have coasted through the last 2 months, but alas, I am ready to confront life again with an inquisitive mind! For many people, inquisition is natural. For me, Questioning is NOT the norm! I take them as they are, and rarely think of them again. I forget arguments Matt & I have once apologies and forgiveness are traded. Th...
