I was feeling rather ballsy yesterday. It was my day off (I work part time) and that meant it was a full day with our daughter. By 11am I had already picked up around the house, done a load of laundry, played and fed our daughter her breakfast, made my husband breakfast, and vacuumed the… Continue reading The House Wife Workout
I cannot believe that in exactly two weeks we will be standing on Japanese soil. I can’t even visualize that in my head. I can’t even visualize sitting on an airplane with my husband and our almost 2 1/2 year old daughter. My brain just can’t seem to grasp around that idea, probably because it… Continue reading The Countdown to Japan Begins
Once a month we have a Staff Meeting at my work where we all get together for a couple hours and discuss what new events or changes are going on in each of our different departments or for our organization as a whole – our round table meetings. As a small staff of twelve it’s… Continue reading Inspired at The Round Table
I just had a funny conversation with one of my cousins. We call each other beanie because we’re Mexican and well we’re beaners. It’s just a fun term of endearment that we use. Not sure why I feel the need to explain this because it’s totally unrelated to my post, but anyway, it provides some… Continue reading It’s Really Just A Number
Our daughter is a pretty good sleeper. On a normal day she’s in bed by 8:45p and then wakes up the following day around 7:20a, not bad right? Every once in awhile though she likes to wake up somewhere in the 4am vicinity and does so in such great spirits that you would swear it’s… Continue reading The 4:00 a.m. Mommy Alarm
I absolutely freaking L-O-V-E sappy sad country music songs, and my all time favorite artist by far is George Strait. No one else comes even close for me…well except maybe Kenny Rogers – my first exposure to country music at the ripe old age of like 9. I’m actually listening to George Strait while typing this,… Continue reading The Sappier the Song, The Happier I Am!
I’ve been sick since Friday night with terrible body aches, chills, and a sore throat. The body aches have finally subsided today (yay!) but my throat remains sore as ever. My glands are definitely swollen and when I opened wide to peek at the back of my mouth, sure enough there was tons of deep… Continue reading Hey Pretty Girl
I love my work. I am lucky to be one of two Program Coordinators for a great non profit organization that helps empower women, men, and young adults to become economically self sufficient by providing all the necessary tools for employment success such as professional clothing and accessories, mock interviews, computer classes, resume building classes, and other… Continue reading The Long Arm of the Law
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share this, but it’s official, we are going to Japan! With our toddler. On a plane. For the first time. Woohoo!!! I am all at once beyond excited and nervous! But you know, I figure, if you’re going to make a decision to travel for the very… Continue reading A Plane, A Toddler, & Two Inexperienced Parents
What an experience these past 4 days turned out to be! When my husband told me he had booked us a cabin for our camping trip, this is what I envisioned in my mind Not so much all the nice furniture, but definitely along the lines of electricity, heating system, and although I didn’t go… Continue reading Lights Out!
