swet sour

 Well, another weekend down: Finally ended an epic game of phone tag with 1 of my 2 'opponents'. The boyfriend is still in the middle of nowhere and with such spottie cell/internet service I haven't really talked to him in a week. (Which kind of makes Birthday Week Vaca planning a little difficult...)

I did manage to get the house clean, rearrange the dining room (don't look so shocked), filed my taxes (BANK!!!, and even got to play with Robbie -- my camera, I named it that after my last one was stolen 2 years ago --

Happy weekend every body, I'm going to start planning my gym attack plan for tomorrow! 5:30 spin class comes very early!

he's a willing test subject

all we care about is talkin'

"The more people I meet, the more thankful I am for the few close one's in my life".

The count of people close to me in this life is a small, single digit number. 

And this fact makes me very happy.

Things I have done today:

• Breakfast with my favorite family of 3. 
• Drink way too many cups of coffee -- as I sit here sipping on another. 
• Reaffirm my belief that I'm happier as an introvert. 
• Drive in the monsoon/hail storm. 
• Attend and give to a great local foundation, The Cindy Donald Dreams of Recovery
• Catch up on emails and my blog (clearly...)

Things I really want to do today:

• Fiddle with my camera and perfect some photo shooting tricks
• Start the bathroom his/her mirror project
• Begin the mudroom/foyer renovation
• Start making washer necklaces for Etsy to keep raising $$ for my OT Gigi's classes

Things that I'm going to do instead of what I want:

• Clean my house --- holy moly this place is gross. Starting with the kitchen, then dining room, then living room, then my bathroom/bedroom. I'm talking like bleach and scrub brushes here people. It needs it bad... 
• Organize my tax info from 2011
• Perhaps paint another set of kitchen cabinets... the kitchen's only like 1/4 of the way completed and I already want to move on to a new project. I blame Pintrest.
• Laundry. Sort it, fold it, start a new load. Repeat, repeat, repeat. 

Okay, Saturday. Let's do this huh? 

was a time I could move, there was a time I could breathe

 A few things to note for the day:

• Not quite ready for a full day without the painkillers. Holy moly, not ready for that one yet. I'll stick to my 1/2 dose every 5 hrs thank you kindly. 

• Vitamin E oil is the only pedicure I'll ever pay for again. Seriously -- busted open a capsule on my poor cuticles and BAM. It's like magic. 

• Not okay that the vet place that I took Kujo to be cremated sent me a condolences card that has paw prints ... like real paw prints ... stamped in it and says Kujo, an angle with a tail. Seriously. I know that was not my cats feet --- she was WAY tinier than that. AND I'M STILL GRIEVING PEOPLE. 

• I managed to get 1 thing done off my long term to do-list ... and add 7 more. Cross off "add patch to henley shadowbox". Check.

• Big yay to my little sister who moved into her first apartment (dorm) today!! So proud of her -- and I'm sure my parents will actually enjoy the sanity that comes with empty nest syndrome. 

• Only have to get through 13 more days till the boyfriend is back in town!

• Oh, and my crutches gave me a serious case of tennis elbow ... thank gawd i know how to treat it .. but still ..OWW!

Tomorrow: See sister and the nephews, cross a few things off the 'list', and just plain old be amazing.

(This was a really exciting post, I know ...)

fasciculations

staring contest ....

Cabin fever has officially set in. Sir Lexicon and I have gone to extreme lengths to entertain each other today. He played in a bag .. I laid in bed. He did turkey laps around the bed ... I sat up in bed. He frolicked in the sunshine on the balcony ... I sat on the couch. He laid on the couch .. I harassed him with a laser pointer. I even caught him playing with a bobby pin in the bathtub. Sigh. We both need to get out. Therefore tomorrow, I will go into work for a bit and he will ..... uhh ... ... .. Hmm ...
