it's my Friday

You probably won't hear from me until next week.  Little man and I are headed to Decatur for the night and to spend tomorrow at Point Mallard.  I'm so excited.  He loves the water, and I'm going to love watching him have fun!

Since I've gotten through my impending deadline of doom, I have absolutely no motivation.  Does anyone else suffer from this?  It's as though I have to be on the brink of insanity to actually accomplish anything.  It's really not a good problem to have when you work in a profession that demands you bill for your services by the hour. I know it seems like a odd thing to pray for, but I find myself praying that God will restore that motivation!

I do have a fun thing to be motivated about lately, our new house!  We close next week and I cannot wait to start working to make this home our own.  We've got the luxury of about 4 months of time to renovate, paint, clean, etc. before we have to move in.  It's why Pinterest was created.  I have an entire board devoted just to the things I want to do in this house. Our first project will be replacing all the downstairs flooring.  Our second project will be paying for the first project. I hope to have a newly remodeled kitchen inside of 18 months, but we've got a couple of things to pay-off first.  We're going to be seeking bids from Home Depot and Lowe's on the kitchen so that we can gauge our budget, who else do you recommend?  Anyone have a cousin twice removed on your mother's side that does cabinet work?  An uncle who can get a steal on appliances?  Anyone?

For now, I'll leave you with the listing picture of the house.
 
Y'all have a great weekend!

And there is only one scratch on the entire set of 3 appliances. it's on the side of the refrigerator so you don't even see it! they usually offer 12 months same as cash too! excited for y'all!

Changes, they are a comin'

Shew wee.  That's all I can say about the last couple of weeks!  I know you all have missed me.  I too, have missed all three of you. Truthfully, I was going through a ferocious deadline at work which caused me to slack on my blogging and fit lifestyle. I'll be honest, I wasn't crazy about how my pants fit when I put them on this morning.  I went to work out yesterday, but decided to delay my weigh-in until today.  Monday's are bad enough all on their own without that scale mocking me. I want to update you all on what's been going on, but first, a little housekeeping.  You'll notice the name of the blog has been shortened to "the Journey".  I still intend to write about my journey to lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle, but I also wanted to use this blog as a tool to exercise my creative and writing muscles, and so I don't want to be limited to one subject.  I want to write about all my journeys, whether it be life with a toddler, re-mode...

the Panic ensues

I thought that my morning might have to be spent calling the people at Visa and telling them that I had lost my credit card.  This would have been devastating for me.  No credit card equals having to ask the man that controls the checkbook at our house for money.  This would contradict my normal policy of just buying something and having the 5-7 business days before it arrives to convince him of why I really needed those shoes.  They were ON SALE.  ON ZULILY.  THEY GO WITH EVERYTHING.  Too bad those particular shoes don't fit my feet very well and have barely been worn.  To those who would say it is despicable that I would sneak shop with my credit card, I say let me use my credit card to order you a case of Windex for that nice glass house you're living in.  Which, I could do, because Husband found my credit card in between the seats of the car.  But first, I'd have to find where he has since hidden said card. Let's start with the goo...

Did she really just say that to me?

Ok, I'll say it, I looked super cute yesterday for church.  There's not a picture, just take my word for it, I've never let you down before!  Cute boots, cute dress, jean jacket.  Cue the cameras, I'm ready for my country music video. So, I run into Wally World after church on Sunday, because apparently there is some rule in the universe that you can't go more than a certain number of days without entering the hell hole that is Wal-Mart. While I was waiting for Matt to pull around and pick me a up a car drove past, stopped, and backed up.  The girl rolled down the passenger window and asked me where I got my boots.  What?  These things, you're too kind!  They came from Dress Barn - which while I hate the name, has some really cute stuff.  She said where?  I repeated.  Where's one of those at?  I said, I think Huntsville?  Mine came from the Outlet in Foley - oh how I miss the outlets. At this point, I'm feeling pretty goo...
