Posts may be getting shorter...and shorter...and shorter

and shorter...until they're nothing. Just kidding. I love blogging but since I'm back to work I don't have the luxury of spending an hour a day writing and reading blogs. Over the summer I had all the time in the world but now that I'm working again my off time is precious. I'll do what I can and I'll keep up with my favorites =).

Hope you're having a great Monday!

I'm not that kind of girl...

Thankfully, we have a friend who is that kind of girl. Last night after a date of bowling which was soured by bowling next to people who would walk up when it was our turn, use John's ball and scream and jump into our lane, we got into our car that wouldn't start. Awesome.

I called our friend J to come pick us up and she said,"Want a jump?" Those three words have NEVER come out of my mouth. I don't know how to do that.

J jumped us-yay! I'm without wheels until Saturday-boo. Our friend J is one of those people who knows how to do EVERYTHING. Maybe I should follow her around for awhile with a pen and a pretty notebook. Then I would know how to jump cars, change my oil, start a lawn mower...

I didn't take pictures from our night but here's one from two nights ago.




I just realized that it's Friday and I didn't do a Fit Friday. I don't want to write another post so I'll talk a little fit. This week on Monday, Wednesday and today for my toning I've been doing a routine I found on Women's Health. They said if I do this routine for six weeks I'll look like some chick from the tv show Lost.

I probably won't look like her but yesterday was the first day since I first did it on Monday that I wasn't sore.

Have a great weekend!!!

Going back to work...crap

How's that for optimism? Not so good, I know. It's not very aloha of me. I'm actually ok with going back to work tomorrow...kind of. I just thought a title with the word crap in it was a way of sticking it to the j-o-b.

I like my job and my students are always awesome. I'm just not a fan of waking up when it's still night time like outside, having to be groomed and dressed by 7:30 (at the latest) and having to wear real shoes. Oh, and recess duty in 110+ degree heat is also pretty lame.

I'm looking forward to a lot too and I am very thankful to have a job.

I wish Kita could come with me.

Four Letter Words...

On Monday night I decoupaged these letters onto one of our outlet covers. I was very specific with the letters I chose. I was wanting to spell four specific four letter words. I'll give you a free puppy if you know what they are.

(Disclaimer: If you do know the four 4-letter words I will just think you're very cool. The promise of a puppy was for entertainment purposes only.)

Ambition...

John and I were talking about our home this weekend. We love our home. That's a really good thing because we'll be here until we are senior citizens and we qualify for AARP discounts. Seriously.

We decided that we need to always have a project going on our house. We came up with several lovely ideas. We haven't started any but we did decide that we're going to buy new pots the next time we get paid. Is it bad that the bottom of the inside of our Teflon pots are lacking Teflon these days?

If we get blessed by the money fairy our first major project is going to be new flooring. Do you have any suggestions for some gorgeous flooring for us to pine over? That's our only criteria. It needs to be gorgeous.

This song came on while I was writing this post. I like it.

No More Top 10 Monday...

If I feel inspired to write a top 10 list I may still write one from time to time but I don't really want to write them every Monday any more. So no more Top 10 Monday for now.

Today is my last work free Monday for a long time. Boo...I mean yay. I start back to work on Thursday and students start back next Monday. So my days of leisure are extremely numbered.

I can't really complain because summer has been very sweet to me...probably my best summer EVER. However, getting back into my work routine may take a little time. I'm good at time off. Aren't we all?

Well, I'm off to take some advantage of my remaining time. I'm going to finish my post with some pictures from Friday night. We were on a party bus for our friend's surprise birthday party planned by her husband.








Have you ever been on a party bus? If you haven't you should do it when you have the chance. It's a fun time.

Happy Monday you guys. Have a great one!!!

Birthday Wishes...

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday sweet Joey...Happy Birthday to you!!!

In your one year of life you have already brought so much joy to all who love you. Your Uncle John and I love you very much and wish we were there to give you hugs today.




Love,
