Homeowners
Mowed the lawn, front and back today. The back especially looked like a jungle; it’s more work but also more rewarding to cut when you can really see the difference. ;) And my reward was a nice cool shower! Feels so good.
We went bowling in the afternoon. I managed to play my lowest game and my then my highest! Can’t wait to get some bowling shoes ( Read more... ) -

We all get at least one good wish in a year over the candles on our birthday. Some of us throw in more, on eyelashes, fountains, lucky stars. And every now and then, one of those wishes come true.

I hate when you mention that you want to lose weight or are in any way unhappy with your health and/or appearance, and people who are heavier ask you why, like 'Excuse me? You don't get to complain.'
I'm working on being healthier and making some good progress I think. I've replaced regular pop with diet, with the hope to one day wean myself off of ( Read more... ) -

Sitting in the theater waiting for Catching Fire to start! Had a delicious chicken chimichanga from Cancun for dinner, with a strawberry margarita for dessert. Got my amazing husband by my side; seriously, I'm a little afraid of how happy I am!
After Thanksgiving Arjen and I are going I get a Christmas tree; a real one, for the first time since I ( Read more... )
