Color me Eggplant
That was Saturday.
Then on Sunday, my parents came up (they are on spring break... seriously how jealous am I?) and we got to enjoy that beautiful weather even more. Josie stayed awake the whole time and was SO CHILL. She loves being outside. I can't really blame her though. Most of her life has been stuck inside staring at me.
I love weekends like this!
And guess what. The time change trick? It worked. Suckers!! You all thought it wouldn't..but she was in bed at 8 tonight and she slept in until almost 8 this morning. It's fabulous. We're all happy.

Weekend Update
1. We watched TV in the living room. Josie explored the whole room numerous times and decided that her favorite place is the coffee table and everything on it. Joy for us, who gets to move everything around while she tries to grab each item.
2. We went to church and battled the weather. It actually wasn't that bad but we've been spoiled. Now that Josie has a big girl car seat, she has to be brave and bear the elements too. (bare? bear?) She could really care less, but this crazy mama is always concerned that she's going to lose her foot or hand from frostbite.
3. The rest... the rest you will see pictures of throughout the week. Truth: my camera is upstairs and I'm too lazy to go get it. So I'll do it later.
Happy Monday!

Quick weekend update
I ran outside this weekend and didn't get sick. Also, I learned that I really need to work on speed since I was only averaging at about a twelve minute mile. Lame. Well at least I went out and did it.
Josie is back to her happy smiley self. It's wonderful and I feel like it must be summer mixed with my birthday mixed with the best part of every day because that's how much better she is.
I had a three day weekend. Best weekend.
Its already the middle of February and you know what? I'm okay with that because I've lost ten lbs as of this morning! It is so nice to hit this milestone, finally. It seemed to take forever. Hopefully the next ten will come off a little faster than three months since I've got this thing really rolling now.
Here we sit, watching cars drive by. Happy Monday!

Let's review, shall we?
- I don't have fun pictures from this weekend because my camera is MIA. I'm sure it will turn up...eventually.
- It snowed and snowed and snowed today and while it was so pretty with a winter wonderland feel, It was not fun to walk in with heels on, coffee spilling on my hand, and a heavy baby car seat on my other arm. Good thing she's cute...
- Church was almost two hours long today. We got to hear a couple of testimonies from soon to be elders and the pastor still gave his message and I listened, absorbed, and loved every minute of it.
- Josie is crawling. She is sitting. She is chattering. She is holding her bottle (sometimes). She is just growing up too. darn. fast!
- I didn't eat very good this weekend. I didn't eat real meals, but I sure did snack. Oh hi there, gym, how are you? Let's be best friends this week!
- Another thing that I am looking forward to once I lose some weight besides wearing my wedding ring again (so close, but so far away!) and having a bigger smile and eyes is buying dresses to wear at work and at home for all season. I love love love wearing dresses or skirts and hope to one day have them be the majority in my closet!
- I'm in a smoothie kind of mood this week. Every day for lunch. I'm excited.
- Tonight I'm going to put oil on my face instead of face wash. Curious?
- I watched a lot of tv this weekend. Why? Because Josie is at an age where she is too busy to notice me. Seriously, she could care less about me and my attempts to play with her! Its kind of funny, and I don't mind it so much since I know that in not such a long time she will be wanting me to play with her all of the time.
- I haven't painted my toenails all winter... sometimes it's just refreshing to have that all natural look, don't you think? (Don't worry, legs are still shaved. Not that natural around here!)

Weekend review
Somebody is eating twice as much as she was before! I swear she is a bottomless pit just like her dad. Why oh why didn't I inherit this gene too?
For all of you wondering where I got my marvelous sweats/dress pants, the answer is JCPenney's. They only cost about $25 and didn't stretch out like I was expecting. #victoryforthelazys
We had a nice weekend just doing random stuff and enjoying the comfort of home. I've managed to keep the house relatively neat and tidy which deserves a medal in my mind (hey don't laugh) and the weather is still unreal so this may just be the best January of my life. Usually at this time I am stuck in a rut working, eating, and sleeping all mopey like because the weather is the worst and its always dark out. There is just no time for that this year!
Also, since I've been so impressive already, I just wanted to share that I've also got my Christmas decorations down. Not necessarily put away because that is a project in itself, but down and no longer in my face. In was starting to feel ridiculous.
Let the work week begin!

Christmas part 3
Cousin-in-law-to-be Arron, sister Lara, aunt Lynne, dad Paul |
continuing around the room: cousin Lindsay (usually quite a bit happier than this?), uncle Mike, mom Laurie, hubby Mike |
Controlled chaos |
Its getting crazy... |
Crazier...crazier... |
Paper, bows, boxes, and bags everywhere. She got the most gifts (deserved. Usually she gets jipped and she's the best gma/ma/wife there is) so she couldn't move from this spot for a solid 2 hours. |
- I got a Garmin Forerunner 205 from my parents and declared it the best gift ever.
- My mom had to open two gifts for every one that we opened. I also secretly skipped my turn a couple of times to let her catch up. (We open gifts one at at time so we can enjoy each other's gifts as well)
- The true winner for best gift(s) ever was the thick socks that my aunt got for the men. Ohmygoodness why these were such a hit nobody knows, but they practically fought over them and were all grinning ear to ear after opening them. Good job Aunt Lynne!
- What did my cousin get from her fiance? Good question! The answer may shock you like it did to all of us. He got her these A-maz-ing platform peep toe zebra print shoes that fit perfectly. Who does that successfully?? They looked kind of like this but better.:
- The best present for me was the Motorola tablet Mike got me. Like previously mentioned, I wanted a Nook super duper bad, but this is the clearly best alternative. Sidenote: how do you get library books on the Nook app? I figured it out on kindle but I don't really like the whole pay-for-it thing... if I only want to read it once, I certainly don't want to pay for it!
- The wine, the company, the whole weekend. It was wonderful.
