I'm a Kid

In a candy store. My Avon FINALLY arrived today & I was so happy. I got one eyeshadow quad, some antibacterial sanitizer, & 9 nail things. A base coat, a strengthener, an whoops fixer, & 6 colors.

 Colors are: Jade, Golden Sand, Pale Gold, Powder Pink, Pink Radiance, & Midnight Plum.
My favorite by far is Jade, it's so pretty. The "gold" looks more like iridescence but maybe once it's on the gold will come out. I like the golden sand too but the name doesn't quite fit it. It reminds me of copper or terracotta. :) I can't wait to use them, especially the Jade. I seriously am in love with the Jade one. I would've named it mint or sage. :)

So yup, that's all really. The 'stang should be done Friday. SHOULD! I'm gonna go apeshit on someone if it's not done! :)

Hello

It's been a while since I've written. Our lives aren't all that exciting so you haven't missed much.

Miss 'Stang is almost done. We went to see her on Friday & she's looking interesting. The red is very pretty, I do admit. They were sanding her so one side was shiny & the other not so much. :) Mike was ecstatic. He could not stop smiling & laughing. We should be able to pick her up in the next few days. There is a Vale mustang meet this weekend but it's just a dinner meet, not a driving meet so we're not going. Mike has also decided that I've been right all along & he probably shouldn't drive the mustang to work every day. YAY! So, we're so going to be saving on gas which helps since Christmas is coming up. YAY!

Christmas: Well....Mike & I started getting really excited about Christmas on Friday. We even spent the extra time between lunch & movie Christmas shopping. We now have one person finished & 3 little boys started. We've decided to stop going to Tucson to see movies so much & start just pulling that money out for Christmas savings. If all goes to plan we'll have $700 saved for Christmas. We may spend some of that money along the way on presents but that's what it's for anyways. :) Then....when we got home Mike realized that 2 guys will be just getting home from a 4 month volunteer deployment. After deployments you get leave. So, we might be screwed royally & not get to come home for Christmas. I will be so pissed!!!

Healthy-ness: I had a doc appt on Thursday to get some test results. They were half good & half not good. Apparently my adrenal glands are not working properly & my cortisol levels were very low. New book to read, new pill regimen (vitamins & supplements), & new eating plan. Read about it HERE! I haven't been able to exercise because of only one car & Mike's early & unpredictable schedule. He's working out which is great. Once we get the 'stang back I can start back at Curves, yay! Hopefully with this new diet/pill regimen I'll have lots more energy in the morning to really kick butt there. :) If not, I may have to switch my workout time to get maximum workout-age! :)

Well, that's about all that's going on here. I hope life is treating you well!

Jenny Dream???

This post is strictly a "jenny dream" post. Nothing to do with our family so if you want, go ahead & skip this post. For those that don't know I've been visited by my friend Jenny who passed away Oct 28th, 2007. She was one of my best friends. Our wake up this morning was 3:45, ugh so early, & I was startled out of my dream, thank goodness the Jenny part was already over. It didn't hit me that it was a Jenny dream til I was doing my hair & then I thought "oh my gosh, I had a Jenny dream". Here is the dream. (to read about the last Jenny dream, click.....HERE)

It took place at my parent's house & for some reason Jenny's brother, C, was there & we were talking. He was comforting me but I don't remember why. All of a sudden I was leaning back in a chair & C was cooking something is the microwave when he noticed I was tear-ing up. (ok, C has NEVER been in my house so why this dream took place there I don't know. Also, I hardly know C ((other than J's sister & working with him a few times)) but this is the second 'jenny' dream he's been in.) C asked me what was wrong & I told him that I just miss Jenny alot. I tell him about the dreams I've had with her & at first he thinks I'm crazy but then believes me. What's weird & how this was a 'jenny dream' was because I kept seeing Jenny instead of C & I kept calling him Jenny. They do look alike so I brushed it off in the dream but I kept seeing her & wanting to say her name. I think it really was her though. Here's the horrible part. I've always worried that I'd never get to see Jenny again in a dream & I'm pretty sure this was the last one. In the dream I told C that I don't think I'll ever see Jenny in a dream again & he agreed. *sad face* I think Jenny was telling me that was her final dream. That definitely makes me sad. For one, I didn't realize it was a Jenny dream at the time & that's not fair. I didn't know it was goodbye but I guess that's how our last IM was. I love being able to see & talk to Jenny in dreams. Those dreams truly are the most amazing experiences & I will dearly miss them. I miss her so much. :(

What's New

It seems like lately things are changing left & right. Mike is doing this 3 week exercise & while he had no PT on Monday & Tuesday this morning he started work at 5:30. That meant I didn't get to go to Curves. I probably would've taken him to work so I could have the car but I have to do that tomorrow so I figured pushing it one day isn't a big deal. Well......... *scowl*, tomorrow he starts work at 4:30. STARTS work at 4:30, that means we have to be up around 3:45 so we can leave by 4. Him having to be at work at 5:30 was perfect because I would've been at Curves by 6 which is my late-normal time. (normal time is 5:30-6). But 4:30, ugh! I'll be home by 5 & I'll most likely want to crawl into bed then. Crap, I just remembered Tues & Thur it doesn't open til 6. Seriously, I'm so going to fall asleep before I can leave for Curves tomorrow, haha.

The mustang. Well, she's painted. Mike called yesterday & she officially has color again. The paint has to cure & then you know, sanding, clear coat, polishing. So we're thinking by the end of next week we'll finally be a 2 car family again. YAY!!!

So, the only person who 'follows' me is a polish-a-holic & I've been wanting to get a few new polishes for a while. Welp, Avon to the rescue. I got 6 new polishes, a strengthening polish, a base coat, & a smudge corrector. All these nail things were on sale baby! Also because I spent over $30 I'm getting a free mascara. So awesome, I really need a new one. The one I use is forever old! I am so excited, I can't wait for my package! I'm hoping it's here by the end of next week. Fingers Crossed!!!! :)

August

Happy August! I can't believe it's the 8th month of the year. I also can't believe how nothing has changed when I had such big plans! Waa Waa!

It is a new month & that means a new start. Getting back into exercising, getting back to uber healthy eating (yes we started this 2 weeks ago but we didn't do super awesome, just good), & getting back to....aaahhhh. Ok I don't know what else but whatever. I have a doctor's appt on Thursday & that kinda feels like that'll be a new start too. :) This weekend while trying to braid my hair without the use of a rubberband at the top I strained my shoulders. I just can't braid my hair without first putting it into a rubber band. Ay. So, anywho, I did that Saturday night & I had a MASSIVE headache all of Sunday. It'd get better but the smallest thing would send it off on a throbbing episode. I tried relaxing, I tried drinking my weight in water, I tried soda (someone told me this & I thought they were crazy but it's actually worked before & now if water doesn't help, I try drinking a soda). Nothing worked!! NOTHING! I finally broke down & took some aspirin. I'm really really trying to not use aspirin anymore for a certain reason that I won't go into here but whatever, I'm trying not to use them. I'm almost to the point of taking some now too. This headache won't go away!!!! I actually feel like crap today. I slept so hard, woke up at 5 to work out & by 8 I was exhausted. I ended up zonking at 8:30 & though I had planned to wake back up at 9:30 that did not happen. I ended up sleeping til 10:30 & I really truly could've slept til noon or later. I was SO tired & energy less. It's such a horrible feeling. I did manage to wash dishes, make myself lunch, & wash our sheets which are on their second run through the dryer. Partly to make sure they're dry & partly so I don't have to put them back on the bed. :) I do not know how I'm going to have the energy to cook dinner tonight. Good news, we have all new fresh stuff for salads!!! YAY!

This weekend was a huge lazy weekend. I really truly did nothing productive. Mike was productive somewhat. He mowed, sprayed weeds, met our new neighbor (& went missing for an hour which freaked me out), he put in the insert with the doggie door into our sliding backdoor, & vacuumed (which I was going to do & I don't remember why I didn't). We went to Sonoita for dinner at a really great steakhouse. Their steak fries are AWESOME! And lastly we went grocery shopping. We spent $100 still, even with our small list, but we got a ton of meat. We should definitely be good on steaks for a long time. :) The rest of the weekend was spent watching tv or movies. Lazy Dazies we were & it was nice.

Welp, that's all. I shall try to stay awake for the next 90 minutes, haha, & then spend time with my hubs a licious!
