new week’s resolutions


1. Get back to healthier eating habits. Four months after getting back from France I can no longer use the “I’m on vacation” excuse. Rats.

2. De-clutter my closet and keep stuff worth keeping. Stuff that I’ll actually wear. Stuff that fits. Stuff that didn’t once belong to a certain boy. I love Erin’s 30/30/30 project.

3. Remember to say my prayers in the morning. I don’t know why it’s so hard for me. Maybe because I’m allergic to 4 am?

4. Be patient with Harlow as she’s getting used to her pet carrier. We’re going to Utah baby!

5. Wear lipstick every day this week. It cheers me up. Is that weird?

6. Set aside some time to take some pictures. I haven’t in forever and ever.

7. Since my family is SO grumpy about holidays – I’ll put up my own decorations and I’ll put them up as early as I want. Like Wednesday! (yay!!)

Six resolutions seems good. Wait, that was seven. Whatever. Here’s to a wonderful week!

confessions on a tuesday


I consider myself a true Californian, but want to abdicate when it gets over 90 degrees. It was 107 today… no good.

I’ve never had a professional pedicure. Ever.

I’m completely addicted to Twitter… and Angry Birds.

Every morning I fight a ruthless battle with my alarm clock.

I just got called as a Nursery worker at church … and I MISS my 5 year olds so much.

I always watch way too much Law & Order and lately my dreams are full of creepstars.

Lately all I want to eat is cheddar cheese and fresh tomatos. And figs. I always want figs.

I fell in love with this little lady.

My friends’ mothers are all threatening me with blind dates. Meanies.

When Harlow does her little puppy snort/sigh I DIE. I really hope my kids are this cute.

Okay, since I’m confessing… I should admit that Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food to the list of things I want to eat.
