Decisions, Decisions!

I have to make a decision, TODAY about what I'm going to give up or take on for Lent! I know in an earlier post, I mentioned giving up alcohol, but the thing is, I can't even tell you the last time I had a sip! SO, if it wasn't that hard to give up without even trying, then I really should reconsider! I have a few thoughts, but haven't made a final decision.

1 - ONE cup of coffee per day! That's it, no more! THIS includes NO afternoon soft drinks or caffienated beverages. I have pretty much cut out sodas anyway, but I'm a coffee girl in the AM...usually working on 3-4 cups before noon! I thought about going cold turkey, but with a HUGE audit coming up at work, my boss forbid me!!! She said she needed happy, productive Hokie Girl, NOT grumpy STELLA!!!!

2 - do the laundry. Don't laugh. This would be extremely hard for me, ya know, since my laundry skills pretty much consist of throwing dirtys in the hamper!!! I occassionaly will put water, soap and items into the machine....and that's ALL folks! Hubby does it...I'm spoiled...so what! So, I could take on that daunting task, because it would be difficult for me....either that, or we'd run out of things in a couple weeks!

3 - Stop biting my nails. Nervous habit, it sucks, I know. I CAN and HAVE grown them out and they do look fabulous!!! But, I just get in a zone and don't even realize I'm doing it sometimes!!! So, that would be hard....think I might try this one anyway....hmmmm?

4 - A goal of exercising 5 times a week. I'm at the gym about 3 times as it is, but this would push me! I would HAVE to make time for it.

5 - Not spending extra money......besides on the necessities! I've done this before in college and it was hard! Now, I'm more frugal anyway, so I'm not sure if its the best one. I also don't splurge on coffee out a lot - just every once in a while!

Any suggestions? I'm kind of at a loss here! I want it to count, but I'm having a hard time with things that would really make a difference to my everyday!

Got my camera back!!

FINALLY got my camera back and had a chance to upload evidence of all the fun times we had in ATL. These are some from the Children's Interactive Museum!!! Little Huass enjoyed himself very much and was fascinated by this water pully system thing!

I know I've said it before, but I highly reccommend this if you are in the area of downtown Atlanta, but I bet they have similar types of museums in bigger cities!

I'm not an English Major!

With that said, I usually do a pretty good job of writing and proof reading. Especially if OTHER people are going to see it, say 28 other people!!!! I'm talking about invitations! I was so excited about finding the graphic to put on some baby shower invitations, that I missed the date! Yes, I put a date on there, but it just so happened to be the wrong date! Hopefully the people that get the invitations won't be that clueless!! I mean, I put it was Sunday, March 20! It was supposed to be the 29th!!! I can't help it that my laptop didn't save the invitations I worked so hard on and when I tried to find them to print, GONE!!! I was forced to remake them, PRONTO!
It also doesn't help that the zero is next to the 9 on the keyboard!!! I printed them out, stuffed them in envelopes, addressed them, stamped them and sent them on their way! I put one on MY refrigerator and didn't even notice! Even got a call from a fellow hostess how good they were!!! **she didn't notice the date misap either** Only when she got a call from the Mother in-law of the Honoree, did we all figure it out! SO, today was spent making correction postcards to give the invitees the correct date! Fun times!

So, there is a reason for proofing your work. Note to self: have someone else proof your work for you!!!!

Fireproof

What a good movie. Hubby and I were invited to see it last night with some friends at their church. They are starting a couples series and kicked it off with the movie. I'd seen the trailers for it earlier this year and thought it would be a good chick flick and never thought of Hubby even wanting to see it, but it is meant for couples to watch together. It was inspirational and just a good overall movie. I highly reccommend anyone (married or not) to see it.

Autopilot

Ya know when you have tons to do and you get in your car and start going. Then magically, you are where you need to be but can't recall anything from the ride! Yeah, autopilot. That's me today in a nutshell!

Dry Spell

I've been MIA for the past few days, which is so unlike me, and I apologize! I've hit a dry spell. NOT that kind of dry spell...get your minds out of the gutter!!! A blogging dry spell. Writer's block if you will.
This past week I haven't had time to get my blog crack fixes or time (or enough material) to post.
I could ramble on about work, home, Little Hauss, but it seriously might put you in a coma. Life has been THAT boring lately, not saying we weren't plenty crazy busy, but just basic family stuff!

One thing from Wednesday: I had to attend training and working with all Law Enforcement types, everything was in military time! I don't do military time!!! Therefore, I was so excited our training was only a few hours with lunch included!!! Yay, get out from behind the desk for a bit AND food....Sweet! NOT! It was until 4!!! Yeah, I'm a goofball. AND I don't work until 4....I get off at 3, but had to stay, which was no big deal, but it caused me to miss swimming. Poo!

At least today is Friday and I'm off!!!! Promise more later!!! Pinky swear!
