First full day back home!!

May 26, 2012

I had so much fun yesterday being back home. We had an organic brunch -coffee, turkey bacon, eggs and english muffins. It was amazing being able to relax, check emails, enjoy coffee- it's the small things-seriously.

 Later, I went and visited my sister, who had me a whole case of kcups that she found for an amazing price-so sweet of her! Went swimming at the pool with the hubby and my nephew for about 2 hours- we played marco polo, frisbee- it was just what I needed! I also managed to squeeze in some time to go walking. For dinner the hubby grilled chicken and we had a grilled chicken salad. The best part of the day was getting my two packages of kale chips- yay! I also ordered a salicylic peel kit {I've been in the sun lately & need a peel}, which I am super excited to try out! Here are some pictures since I've been home.







Venti Soy whip double espresso Coffee Frappucino- my favorite!




Larabars sent me their new bars to try out- they are amazing!!




Reggie picked me up a {pink} float for the pool- so excited to lay out at the pool!!



 veggies from our garden- how exciting!!


Reggie just left to go to the market to get some things to grill for Memorial Day- we are going to grill out and go swimming- so excited!

Brain Overload!!!

May 24, 2012




Wow, the month of May just flew by! We just drove in yesterday evening and it felt amazing to be home finally! I feel like my brain is in overdrive right now, I am still trying to process lots of things that have happened this past month. First of all, I want to catch you up on my job situation..remember last month, how I was talking about how this job was pretty much taking over my whole personal life- no time for blogging, checking emails, family, etc. Well, I talked to my brother {who is my boss} about how I was unhappy on the road all of the time and not having a personal life{plus having to deal with Roscoe on the road is tough!} and he is working on something right now to where the hubby and I could possibly work in the office, as in a regular 8-5 job! It would mean that we would be temporarily moving back into the house we just moved out of..we are hoping to just stage the house and show it in our off time- we might as well use the house, right now it is just sitting there. But I don't want to get too ahead of myself, I am not sure of what the outcome is going to be yet. Hopefully, it will work out, but if not, we have already decided to start looking elsewhere to have a normal 8-5 job, I refuse to give up my life for any job, no matter how much they pay me. I just feel better now that I spoke up and got everything off of my chest and can move on with the future. Sooo, enough about work, I am so excited to be home, I have so many plans!!

Here is what I have planned for today:

Visit my sister for about 1.5 hours {have some tea & go walking}.

Go swimming/tan by the pool & read my trashy magazines

Exercise {walking/running & weights}

Update resumes



And last but not least, I wanted to leave you with some pictures from our work trip..enjoy!!





Starbucks + shopping at Target- winning!!




























Okay, that's it for now- I'm off to enjoy my day!!
