Friday Letters

Photobucket

Dear weekend,   I am so excited for you because my husband and I surprising have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday off and we decided to take a spontaneous trip to Portland to visit my sister-in-law and go camping for a night at Cape Disappointment (which seriously isn't a disappointment).  I'm so stoked!!


Dear kitchen,  thank you for letting me clean you.  Although I do wish you would do it yourself next time, thank you!

Dear blueberries,  why must you taste so good?!  I could eat you all day!  But that's probably not the best thing to do...

Dear closet,  would you please magically update/change so that I don't have to deal with mornings that involve me taking 30 minutes JUST picking out an outfit.


Dear mall,  I shouldn't have walked into you the other day.  I only shop at thrift stores now. I hope you understand.

Dear hair,  I wish you weren't so straight and stubborn.  I also wish I knew how I could do you differently.  Anyone have any good/easy ideas?!

Dear iPod touch,  my husband is a little frustrated with you.  I spend too much time playing with you.  It's just too much fun!  Words with Friends, Instragram...everything!  So many fun things to learn!

Dear readers,  Get Outside Monday is coming back on Monday!!  Link up with me!  All you gotta do is write about how you got outside this past week.  Here's a copy of the button :)

Currently...

It's time for a little update.  I've been pretty unmotivated to blog (sad day), and I think I'm getting a cold.

Anyways, here's what's currently going on in life.

Current excitement
Having 100 followers!  I mean, seriously?!  How cool is that.  I'm in the process of thinking of a sweet giveaway for all y'all.  Thanks for sticking around and thanks for joining me in this journey!


Current books
I'm reading the Hobbit right now (in preparation for the new movie of course!) and after that I'm sure I'll read either Memoirs of a Geisha or Into the Wild.  Any recommendations?

Current drink
Lemon water.  So good.  And so good for you.


Current bummer
Feeling a little sickness coming on.  It was bound to happen sometime.
I'm also feeling a little bogged down with working out.  I haven't been working out too much with this job.  I need to find some ways to work out with the girls or do it around their house.

Current project
Check this out.  I made two of them!  Books turned binders!  For one of them, I super gorilla glued a binder part into a hollowed out book and the other one my husband drilled out some holes and I just put in some binder clips.  Pretty fun if you ask me!

Current movie
Just watched The Artist the other day.  I was very impressed and fell in love with it!  Have you seen it?  I loved it!  The music, the silence, the actors, everything!

Current #1 blessing
Having a job that allows me to hang out at the water slides all day while getting paid.  Nothing beats this!
