Nothing like knocking out resolutions the 1st week of the year!

Over Christmas break, Matt & I sat on the couch, ate from our huge bowl of candy, and watched TV.
And every 3 1/2 monutes or so, I felt bad that we weren't being more productive.
That guilt came every 3 hours or so after the candy coma hit.
BTW: I LOVE Candaaayyyyyy!!!!!! I'm like a little kid!
But I never buy it, b/c I know it's bad, and unhealthy, blah, blah, blah.
But now, we have TONS of it from Christmas, and I can't just let it go to waste...
Ugh, such an inner battle (and outer once my pants become tighter).

Anyway, over New Years' Break, I decided we would not be unproductive on this extended weekend!
So, we did A LOT!
Like, I was pooped Tuesday morning b/c we worked so hard, but it feels GREAT!
I painted the laundry room Sat. afternoon, 


 
(as you can see, the laundry room is very dull)
Matt put together 2 sets of nightmare cabinets for the laundry room,
and hung a clothes rod in there.
Then, Sun., I decided I wanted to paint one more wall of the same room,
so I did that while Matt caught up on his football.
And then Monday, we watched Lethal Weapon 2.
B/c we had watched Lethal Weapon the day before, of course!
And then he painted the entire guest bath,



 
and I took down all the Christmas decor,
and then got my booty handed to me in Step class,
and then, with Matt's help, put all the decor in the attic.

Whew!
I'm pooped just recounting it!
But we're going to have a lovely laundry room and bathroom for guests!
Yay! I love married productivity!

I'll make sure and put up pictures of the final products!
Happy New Years, ya'll!

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...
