Redecorating ITCH

OK. So... occasionally (I have been better the past year or two) I get this itch to redecorate/rearrange my home, or my classroom. Well... I have the itch, however I am a little frustrated because the way the living room is laid out at our apartment is almost impossible to move things around. The way it was, well, it was fine. But I always felt like something was missing. So, I have added my desk into the living room & I LOVE where it is right now! Right in front of the window, so I can leave it open and watch the dogs sun bathe, or yell at them when they're being obnoxious, either way. However, the seating in the room is just... off. We can't get it to where we just love it. SO. I decided to give up and leave it be for now... which just sort of drives me insane.

Music News: I found this killer band, Bootstraps. I am really digging them and their pretty chill sound. Perfect for a warmish/cool depending how you look at it... day like today. :) I love when I find a new good musician. mmmmm

We are BLESSED to have a 3 day weekend this weekend & I am loving it. We currently have no real plans, which is nice. The whole "lifestyle change" kinda takes the whole bar scene/hh/drinking period out, so were kinda chilling. I am thinking about taking dakota to the dog park and taking some pictures of him. I haven't really been shooting much lately and definitely need to get on it.

I am now off to continue my day with some pinterest, grocery shopping, movie/tv show watching and time with a few of my fav boys. Enjoy your day!

Blessings.

Well Hello, 2012...

Well. It's definitely been a while. I have been wobbling on if I should move to tumblr or not which has detoured me from blogging, period. (To all my many faithful readers out there... !)

2011 was here and gone pretty quick in my house. I was on my death bed, seriously... I was pretty close to dying. Combo of: bronchitis, upper respiratory infection & pharyngitis. So, I spent my NYE in the doctors office, pharmacy and in bed. In fact, I was asleep by 8:30, and luckily woke up just in time to say Happy New Year to John... and pass back out. It took me about a week to recover.

I have never been a big ny resolution kind of person. John and I made a "11 in 2011" list of things we wanted to do this past year... I succeeded in completing 1 task-- and that was to begin my photography business. I was sort of disappointed when I read and discovered this. So that inspired me to not really try making that again. I have things that I hope to accomplish this year, or begin, but I don't want to set myself up for failure.I guess you could say the overall theme of my hopes for the year is a life style change. I want to change my health, my finances, my relationships. So.. I, as everyone else on the planet, hope to loose some weight. I began the biggest losers-- 30 day jump start on Monday. {CORRECTION: I started on Monday and since I am a horrible blogger it is now Saturday that I am completing this post...} Outcome of the first 6 days, -5 pounds! WAHOO!

More on the other 2 later.
