weekends are FUN!

weekends are FUN! and it's not ever because eric and i go do fabulous things that are out of the ordinary or once in a lifetime experiences either. somehow though- we ALWAYS manage to just have the BEST time! maybe it's cause we're best buddies. probably it's cause we love eachother so much. whatever the reason may be though- weekends are my favorite thing in life. true story.

1) this weekend ive spent a lot of time doing little odd/end tasks for this wedding shower im planning. im enjoying this process so much. its fun to plan. makes me remember why i LOVED event planning! and though this little shower doesn't even come close to the events i planned at the key event group- it's been fun and im really looking forward to march 19th. seems like the majority of little things are taken care of (because i rock!) and i only have the last minute things to do like cooking and picking up flowers and stuff like that. yesss.

2) lately we've let bristol stay out of her cage for 3 to 4 hours at a time each day and you'll be happy to know that she does SO WELL! we just need to make sure that there are no shoes in her reach and she does great! i would LOVE to be able to leave her out all day everyday... but that's a bit scary. over all though- im really happy that she's growing and maturing and doing so well. love.

3) on the subject of "dogs" i would like each of you to know that i seriously want a great dane. like in a really bad way! ive done a ton of research and though it's always MOST fun to get a puppy- i think id rather adopt one from dames for danes. it's a dane rescue here in tennessee and they tell such heart breaking stories about the danes they save. plus the puppy years are so ridiculously hard. and i really dont want to deal with that. i will tell you though- that though i want one so so so badly... i will NOT be getting a dane. not right now anyway. it's just a big responsibility. and im really enjoying how life is calming down with b. a new addition would really just cause upheaval and stress for all. but they sure are awesome dogs huh? if you live in the tennessee area though and want a dane- totally check out dames for danes. they kinda rock.

4) right now i am cooking lotsa beans. im really going back full force to my whole weight loss adventure tomorrow and im taking a different approach. as you know- i did the whole 17 day diet thing for 2 weeks... and i was actually considering the p90x diet too. but ultimately ive decided not to. i just feel like people (like me) love to over complicate things and diet is one of them. the truth is that if we watch what goes in and focus on healthy eating and portion control... and if we make it a priority to work out... the weight will come off. it's very simple. so that's the plan. no stress. no over-complicating. no analyzing. no worry. just eating lean lean LEAN meats and beans and a few pieces of fruit each day + water water water- i believe this will yeild much success! that and my new membership to snap fitness. wish me luck.

5) isn't it funny how misunderstandings can be so devastating? someone says something that you either totally and completely misunderstood. or maybe that someone mis-spoke and took a liberty they shouldnt have. either way- misunderstandings can be really hard. if im the one who has ended up misunderstanding i always feel so terrible! then it's hard cause you hafta go back and try to explain and back track and say sorry and ugh- it's just drama. and i hate drama.

6) i have been to tj maxx twice so far this weekend and eric and i are on our way to another one now.

7) larry the cable guy may be funny- but his voice really sorta irritates the living daylights outta me.

8) as some of you may have noticed i tried to change my blog- like the background or whatever. cute right? except let me just say... blogspot irritates me SO MUCH! it's really not very user friendly! i wish that i could change the title of each blog- like the color i mean. how do i do that?!

well- my list of random thoughts for the day is over because ive got to run to tj. wish me luck! im looking for white cloth napkins... :) hope you each are doing well and feeling healthy. say a prayer for me tomorrow! be blessed. and be thankful.
