Day 128

Okay, a bit of a recap of my weekend so far...

Yesterday (Friday) I had plans to meet up with my childhood friend, Bridget. When she got to the restaurant, I was also pleasantly surprised to see her brother, Adam, with her. I have known these 2 nearly my whole life. So many fun memories! Even though we "see" each other around town quite often, we normally don't get time to sit & chat. It was a fun lunch catching up on all the news. :)

Last night I decided I had enough of the not sleeping routine...so I bought a sleep-aid to take. I am happy to report that it worked!! I slept 8 glorious, uninterrupted hours and even went back to sleep another 1.5 hours after initially waking up. I feel so much better today! It's amazing what a little sleep can do for a person. haha (And  yes, I plan to take it again tonight!)

Today has been a busy, busy day around here! (much to Toby's dismay..he would prefer to sleep 23 hours a day) I have cleaned the house (dusted & vacuumed), did a couple loads of laundry & put it away, re-organized my filing cabinet, backed up my laptop on the external HD, took inventory of my Scentsy products to prepare for the open house in a few weeks, threw away a bunch of old stuff out of the fridge & deep freezer, exercised, and even ran around awhile in the yard with Toby while mom grilled dinner. I checked a bunch of stuff off my To Do list, even though there are several more to finish this weekend.

Kya watching Toby...she'd love to eat him I think! ha

mmmm...steaks!

Hope you're all having a great weekend so far!

Day 127

Toby thinks that EVERY pair of shoes that comes thru the door needs cleaned. It's a special brand of clean....Toby-clean!! Haha

5QF - 8/5

August! What??? How did we get here already?!? I guess it's true what they say...time goes faster the older you get! ha If I could get some sleep, I wouldn't mind it so much, but alas...that doesn't seem to be in the cards.

For this week's weight loss update....*drumroll please*...I lost .2 pounds! haha It's not much, but it's a loss. I am pleased with that since I didn't exercise at all except for last Friday. I have been too tired to do anything. I'm hoping that changes after this weekend!

And on to the fun of Five Question Friday! Hop over to My Little Life & join us! One of my questions was once again chosen for this week's linky.





- - -

1. Do you have any siblings & are you close with them?

If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time...you'd know that yes, I have a younger sis. We are very close. As much as we are different from one another, we also share some similarities. I am glad that we've gotten closer as we've "grown up." Sure we still fight. Oh boy do we still fight! haha For the most part though, we enjoy spending time together and bouncing life's ideas off each other.


2. Would you rather be slightly UNDER weight or slightly OVER weight?

Seeing as how I've been overweight nearly my entire life (heavier than most kids by the 4th grade, but not really overweight until junior high), I would be okay with being slightly over weight. I am working to slim down, but I already know that I don't ever want to be "sickly" thin. I'm sure you know the type! I know a girl that did the lap band and she looks freaky now because she has lost TOO much weight. She doesn't even look like herself, which I guess is the point, but to be totally unrecognizable?!? To each his own. I know I'm never gonna be skinny, so a little extra padding will be okay. ha


3. What's your favorite State Fair food to splurge on?

Oh my! What don't I like to splurge on? ha This year will be a test as it's my first time to be conscious of what I'm eating while at the fair. Mom and I are going up Sunday to the Great Indiana State Fair! :) I definitely plan to have a deep fried candy bar. Those have been my fave ever since they came out! I was working at the State Fair that year and let's just say, we had more than 1 that summer. ha


4. What are your thoughts on your kid(s) going to school in a few weeks?

No kids for me, but I would think it would be nice to have them back in school and back on a schedule. Maybe that's the OCD side of me. haha


5. Pool or ocean?

You would think after all the HOURS upon HOURS of Shark Week I've watched, that I would say pool. Don't get me wrong, I love the pool and wish we had one because I'd swim every single day. There is nothing like the ocean though! I love swimming in the ocean, especially snorkeling, and getting to see a different part of our world. I've been in the ocean in some of the most amazing places in the world...the Great Barrier Reef and Cozumel. GORGEOUS!

Day 126

Today was the start of Scentsy's annual convention...I really wanted to attend, but since I just joined at the end of May, it really wasn't an option for me (due to vacation days & already planned trips). This year Scentsy is doing something they've not done before and given those of us not in attendance a chance to feel like we are there! That's right...we have special links to view specific sessions LIVE! How awesome is that?!? This morning (while I was at work...hmmm) I watched the opening session of convention on my computer. My senior director encouraged us to take a picture of ourselves watching convention...so I did! haha

Day 125

I NEED sleep. That is all.

I have not been sleeping very well...for like 3 weeks. Last night I had a glass of wine before bed in hopes that it would help me sleep. It did seem to help some, so I will be having another glass tonight. *fingers crossed* I am someone who needs sleep to function and I'm on my last leg. If I don't get restful sleep soon, it will not be pretty! ha

Today's picture is to prove that there really is wet stuff that falls from the sky...it's called RAIN! Do you remember it? I had almost forgotten what it sounded like, looked like, etc. It's been awhile since we've had any rain around here and imagine my surprise when I was finishing up this morning to leave the house and looked out the window to see a quick rain shower blow through. A much worse storm rolled through a few hours later (even caused our power to go out at work for a few minutes). It was glorious! Too bad the humidity was even worse after the rain. haha Oh well. Can't get everything you ask for ;)

Day 124

I love summer time...my favorite meals are made on the grill! We have had a lot of grilled chicken, mushrooms & Zucchini. So yummy!

Day 123

When I got in my car after work, despite the air running for 10 minutes on full blast...my car remained a toasty 111°! Yikes! I am so over this heat & ready for my favorite time of the year...FALL!

Stay cool.
