It's Friday night and I feel alright..

Actually..I am really exhausted and I feel really tired! Sorry if I say this every day..it's cause I wait until late to blog :]

New font time! I like this one. Today I did 3 new things. Firrrst..today I got on the treadmill to do my 1 mile that I normally do and decided to open my couch to 5k app on my phone (that I haven't paid any attention to in a little over a year!) So I started it..and after the first couple of jogs (on the first day you walk for 90 seconds then jog for 60 seconds for 20 minutes) I just kept on jogging..I had a lot of things on my mind and I didn't realize that I had jogged through 2 walk times..so I kept on run-ning. And I just ran a mile and didn't really think about it the whole time. Sounds pretty easy to run a mile, right? Well it's not easy for me but I did it! I look forward to getting on that treadmill now and I wish I had one at home-yes I had one at home before and only got on it about 3 times..but now they make them so that when you are walking or running you can't even tell it's on bc it's so quiet..you don't have to turn the tv on volume like 100 just to hear it. And who wants to run with the tv blaring and you still can't really hear it anyway??

I also went to see my CPA and it looks like Judah and I will be paying..a very HUGE sum back to the government this year. Like it's so much that you wouldn't believe me if I told you how much we owe. Like I could buy a car with how much we owe. Like I'm gonna stop thinking about it because it blows my mind. Thankfully, we will be able to pay it and be okay..and I'm extremely blessed and thankful for that :]

Stephanie and Ethan were talking about tapioca pearl ball tea all day today. I'm still not sure what tapioca is..I think Stephanie told me it was starch from rice or something but I'm still convinced that she was telling me a story and they are really eyeballs. I ain't takin no wooden nickels from that girl. (had to put a New Roads saying in there :) So Ethan decided his quest for the day would be to find someplace that sold this tea..we found one! It was on the corner of Florida and Sherwood and I don't remember the name..but Ethan got a milk tea with tapioca balls in it..sounds disgusting!! And looked disgusting!! I got a weird energy smoothie that was strawberry and banana..never had one of those before and I'm convinced it had crack in it. I laughed hysterically for the next 30 minutes at absolutely nothing..or at Ethan drinking pearl balls..which looked so disgusting that I gagged when I saw one go up his straw. He loved it. He's sick.

After re-watching the SNL with Zack Galifianakis (sp?) as the guest host we decided to make a Whole Foods trip..which is always fun to do if you are with Ethan Leonard. I finally tried the turkey and brie panini with the fig spread on it and I loved it! It was really good. I know they have been having this forever but I never get food there so I never tried it. We had lots of fun fieldtrips today and it made up for my crappy day yesterday..I also got some gluten free flour, which I want to make some banana nut bread with and a special prize for my baby brother, Mr. Wilson, which I will try to get to him asap.

St. Patty's parade tomorrow y'all! 

Nighty night!

Baby, you've got me all wrong..

Oops, almost forgot to blog today..I am so tired right now but I'm gonna blog! I have been tired all day long..
Last night I watched the first episode of the new season of Sister Wives..I honestly can't wrap my brain around this family or their crazy life. Maybe that's because I don't know much about being a Fundamentalist Mormon..or what exactly they believe. But I still just can't understand it. That's all I'm gonna say about that..
On another note..I feel like venting for a few seconds so here I go..I can't handle sitting in traffic anymore. I can't.do.it.anymore. Today I left work close to 4:30..I was happy because it was my husband's early night at work which means I was gonna cook him this manly supper (there was bacon involved..) Oh but ya know what time I got home?? 6:15. really. really?? This wasn't just today..it's EVERY day. every single day. When I get home and rush to start supper, my husband texts me to say he has customers that want to come in at 6:30. Have I ever mentioned how much I love his job?? The upside is that I had time for supper to cook before he got home..the downside is that we are both always so exhausted/aggravated by the time we get home that we don't communicate much..before this gets too deep I'm gonna stop because I was only gonna vent for one paragraph and I think I'm done for the day.
Sorry I don't have anything uplifting to end this blog..tomorrow will be a better day.

Dos.

Day 2!
So I had a funny dream last night..I dreamed that I was pregnant and about to have the baby..Judah brings me to the hospital and the doctor says, "umm you are actually having 5 babies..not just one." So Judah leaves the hospital and comes back right before I go into labor with a stack of paperwork..he tells me that I have to sign it all so that we will have health insurance before the babies were born..So I started signing away then I woke up. It's funny because something like that would so happen in real life. Leave it to Judah to be thinking about that kind of stuff in a time of crisis. I guess it's a good thing that he is that way because I don't always plan/think things out very thoroughly. I am very blessed to have him as my husband. (and also very blessed that we DO have health insurance already.)

I still haven't eaten any sweets..I want some oreos so bad..but I won't do it! I actually got on the scale this morning and lost 4 pounds since I last weighed myself (which was like, a month ago). So I was pretty excited about that. Around a month ago I started exercising a lot more..about 30 minutes per day. It's not much but it's just about all I can fit in, and it really makes a difference! After all, swim suit season is coming up really soon! I have about 7 more pounds that I would like to lose..I gained about 15 after I got married
:-/ Overall, I really just want to feel stronger. The other day I had to stretch a patient's leg, and after only about 10 minutes of that both of my arms were shaking because I was so weak. That's pretty sad! And it wasn't even a heavy or overweight leg..it was almost a chicken leg! So I broke out my weights and swiss ball.
I think I've bored you all enough for one day! Until tomorrow..

Beware the Ides of March..

Today marks the first day of my daily blogging..yay!
I'm a little exhausted so my creative juices aren't flowing very well right now..I just got home from work and immediately started on supper without sitting for one second (after sitting in traffic for 1+ hours)
But..I blog on. This time change has got me all crazy..I still think it's early when I get home and that I have all this time to get supper finished..but I don't!! In walks the hubby and the zuchinni, squash, and round steaks aren't done. It's gonna take a little getting used to.
Also..I'm trying really hard not to eat any sweets this week. Now I know that sounds really easy to a lot of people probably..but not to me!! At home we have those little chocolate cadbury eggs and mint oreos..at work we have reeses, mr. goodbars..I could go on and on..oh and thanks to my mother we have small cakes with tirimasu on top..geez thanks mom you couldn't have picked a better week to bring them.
I'm not so much doing it for health reasons (although I REALLY should) I'm doing it because of my huge lack of self control. I really have none. It's kinda sad, really.  But, I'm working on it! In other aspects of my life, also. It is a fruit of the spirit, after all..maybe I will try to work on each one over the next few months. I know I need a lot more of them in my life! If I say I'm a Christian then I should have every one of the fruits in my life..Or I should clarify that I should TRY to have them all because Lord knows I have my moments when I am faaaar from perfect ha. But how can I say I have the Holy Spirit if I am not showing any of those fruits in my life? Good thing we have every day for the rest of our lives to start over with a clean slate.
But all I'm thinking about right now is that tirimasu :]

Everyone else is doing it..

Yay blogs! I am so excited that all of the 5 people that I follow are blogging more now..that shows how much I have to do..I know there are about 5 or 6 books in a stack on my bedside table that I need to be finishing..buuut I'll get to them at some point..
Apparently, starting on March 15, my cousin Ashleigh decided that we are all going to try to blog.every.single.day. Every day! Do I even have that many thoughts?? It will be a challenge for me..probably a good one. My brain needs some exercising these days..most days I feel like I do the same thing over and over and my brain doesn't actually do any work.
I have been thinking lately that I would love to join a sewing/quilting/knitting/something of that nature class. How would one go about finding one of these in the Baton Rouge/New Roads area? One that involves women my age? Or under the age of 70? I need a good hobby.

Tonight I made the best baked chicken-ever! (Maybe it was because I threw some sweet potatoes in with the carrots and celery-sooo good!)

Also, Eisley's new album The Valley has been my obsession this week..It's my favorite new album of the year-so far! It's only March :]
However, today I think that I started to feel like I was Sherri (one of the singers) and everything that she was singing about was happening to me, and it was making me sad so I had to stop..(I put on some worship music and then instantly felt better). All of these things that they sing about have happened to me before in relationships, so I can definitely relate to every single song..which is great because that's what most songwriter's are aiming for right? For their fans to feel what they are singing about..and I felt it.

In other news, anyone want a cat???? He's driving us insaaaaane.

Random post..

It's been awhile since I've updated this thing..so here is my attempt to keep my thoughts going on one track (which I'm horrible at-you would know if you've ever had a conversation with me ha!) I get sidetracked very easily..thanks mom, I get that from you-it's not always a bad thing :]

Tonight my husband flew out of town to Nashville to see one of his favorite bands for their album release party..the band he is going to see is Red-one of his favorites..not so much one of mine. We are very different..but I love him so much. I never dreamed I would be living this life I'm living..I still can't believe I'm about to turn 27..!! I feel like I haven't lived very much in my 27 years..But I am learning new things about myself every day.
Before I got married..I had all of these ideas of what I thought marriage would be like. I knew that it wasn't going to be perfect (or what I imagine perfect to be) and I knew it wasn't going to be like this fairy tale all of the time. For some reason I kind of thought that I would just change..that my husband and I would be on the same page about most things and that I would be protected from a lot of things (sorry I'm being very vague right now..) But I learned that in marrying someone so very different from myself, that I had to re think some things..and compromise on some other things. We aren't really on the same page right now spiritually..but I know that will change one day..I think the biggest thing I am learning right now is patience.  We have all of these plans for our life and they are happening at a very...slow..pace. I'm trying to live in this moment and appreciate it, because I know the blessings that God has for us in the future..and they will happen in His timing, not ours. I am also learning that being married kind of brings out the worst in us sometimes and that we have to deal with it..because if we don't it becomes this huge elephant in the room and it just pushes us farther apart from one another. I still have a lot of the same issues that I did before we got married..darn they didn't just disappear on our wedding day..they are still there under the surface needing to be dealt with. Judah can't solve all of my issues-that's what I meant when I said that I felt like I would be protected from some things-some issues. But he can't do a thing about them 1) because they have nothing to do with him 2) Only God can do that.  But..we are all works in progress..every day until the day that we depart from this earth..we can try and try to live up to perfection-or what we think perfection is..but it's just a daily process!

Oh I think that was enough rambling for right now..just some of my thoughts :]
I think every woman needs to read this book by Beth Moore..thanks to my sister-in-law, Steph for letting me borrow it! It's called So Long Insecurity and it's pretty great. This book deals with things that every single woman on the planet deals with on a daily basis..things that we say and do and we don't even realize it. We don't realize the damage we are doing to our souls..and the people around us by our actions and words. Check it out!

That's enough for now..hopefully will update more often on here!
