Week 30: Donuts!

This post, like the last several, was supposed to have something to do with Zumba. But, alas, I am a chicken and still haven't tried it. This week, I went a different route and we finally tried a donut shop that we've heard all about and have wanted to try for years. So, today, we finally got them. They were good, my bet is that they would be fantastic just out of the oven (skillet?), but that would involve us getting there earlier than we are willing to wake up. But, they were good.

This week I got a major itch to revamp my home. Our home currently works, but I need it to do more than that for me. I want it to feel cozy and not stressful. As is, everytime I turn my head I see something that, for whatever reason, just doesn't feel right. Hopefully this will mean upcoming blog posts about home projects. Stay tuned.

Week 29: Craft Mode

This week I rediscovered a love for making cards with pretty paper. My crafting certainly comes and goes in phases, but I got really excited when the passion resurges. I also majorly cleaned out by way-too-big stash of paper and paper scraps and donated to a worthy cause: my MIL. :) The newfound organization has taken away some of the overwhelmingness that I would feel when I sat down to create. I meant to take photos of the 2 cards I made this week but, alas, I stink at remembering. Anyway, I'm back, for now...

Week 28: Hair Extensions

I tried to show you a picture. I should probably include more pictures. Perhaps that should be a new goal. Anyway, I tried, and it didn't work. (That's the really short version).

Anyway, this week, my desire for crazy hair got the best of me. I've said before that I would have all kinds of colors in my hair (really red and really blonde pieces, for instance) if I worked in a different field. So this week, I purchased a clip-in bright red extension. And, I LOVED IT. It makes the desire for lots and lots of crazy hair even stronger.

(For the record, my husband hates it. ;)

Week 27: ...Join A Gym

This week was going to be titled "Zumba."

But, alas, I am a wuss and didn't make it happen. I WILL give Zumba a try, I just need to get a little more brave. Walking into a new class is scary stuff.

But we DID join a gym (actually last week) but this week has largely been made up of settling in to the new gym. I have been doing a whole lot of swimming and elliptical. I'm excited to get back in to an exercise routine as I tend to nix exercising once the temp isn't between 50-75 degrees (so, a lot of the year). I'm even more excited to share this experience with my husband as this is something we haven't done together before. I like saying that we are going to the gym together. It makes me feel a sense of adult responsibility. :)
