Izy is excted cuz she's down to a size 14, and this makes me feel happy and excited for our house as we venture into a household goal of weight-loss and fitness. I've hooked myself on to Izy's goal of a size 10, which I don't ever remember being. I know we can do it! Soon I think we're all going to start doing bike rides, and there is the parks and rec place just a little down the road that has a pool and a fitness center! I personally want to try and find a nearby like... obstacle course where I can use my brain while I do cross fit stuff. I know I'd quickly get addicted to that.
More and more I realize how much of a pack animal I am.
:)
It has been said before that the greatest form of revenge is simply refusing to lie down.
I'm getting there... have had a lot of up and down... hesitant and all that.
I think that irritates a lot of people, makes them think I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.
I'm realizing that I don't care, and that if I do stick with my gut, I'll do lovely.
Gadwynne is adorable.
Not having my ADD meds today makes blog writing more difficult! lol
Money is the other tight thing in my life right now. It will be nice when Gabe has a more comfortable situation going on, but on the other hand I feel as though I'm paying my dues. I am so thankful to be right where I am right now, and I promise the universe I will be patient and faithful.
Eggplants are delicious.
I have to wake up early tomorrow and go buy produce! Truffles and strawberries are fore sure on the list. I'm going to get a lettuce basket to hang on my back patio thingy, and some sturdy veggies and fruits for the week.
Seriously.
There have also recently been some lovely adventures!
Camping and mimosas on memorial day weekend!
Aaaaand Proxy falls hiking the previous weekend!! <3
More recently there was a wedding attended last Saturday, and last Sunday was Izy's sister/my cousin Lillian's wedding shower and her Caedmon's corresponding Grooms...shower. It was SO GREAT TO SEE ALL THE FAMILY WHO WAS THERE!!!
It was also lovely to get excited about the wedding, which will be happening at SOAK on the 23rd. I want to dress up as a dragon and a cave beasty.
My little garden is presently living on a plastic chair. I want to get pot-like boxes, as I don't trust the ground in my backyard to be able to ward off yucky buggilies. I have a thriving parsley plant in the ground though... go figure. The two basils I planted died.
In my chair garden, though, I have pretty little white flowers, peppermint, sage, thyme, basil, aand... dill. Everyone seems to be surviving nicely the past couple weeks.
With his next paycheck I would like to get my BBQ up and running!
Tomorrow we have a birthday party to attend, and I'm way excited to have a late lunch with Celeste on Sunday. Izy and I are going to have a sewing lesson!! I love her so much, I am happy things are calming down so that I can be making more plans with my great auntie.
Gabe's momma went in for open heart surgery on the 31st, and she came home on the 5th. We visited her at the hospital after the wedding last Saturday before we went to Uncle Rob's and the next morning before going to brunch with Mike and Holly and my parents at Mother's Bistro (super good). I fucking love a good Bagel and Lox. But anyway, Tara is doing great at home from what I hear, and everything has gone super well from the moment she went under the knife, thank heavens. I feel so grateful and blessed! I cannot wait to assist in her becoming stronger and sticking around to some day see her grandbabies!!!
Well, that's all for now. Time to play some serious D3!! ;D
