miscellany monday: 8/1/2011

just another manic monday... linking up with carissa at lowercase letters.

1) rewind to may...

i decided that i would (because i had the time) transform my body back to how it used to look as my summer job.

i did give myself as much of that as i could would.

failed.

now i will be going back to school bigger than i actually was.

how did this happen? answer... i let it.

true life: i gained 8lbs over the summer

2) i cannot believe it's the first of august. inservice begins next week!

 3) we have lived in this house for almost three weeks. i have nothing better to do than to unpack everything.

the kitchen, dining room, and entry way are filled with boxes.

i keep saying i will 'do it tomorrow'.

i need to get it together, grrrrr.

4) if i were a celebrity i would be the most boring one  in the world.

here's an honest run down of my day (typical)

6:00-8:00 a.m.: wake-up, drink coffee, kiss husband goodbye

8:00-6:00 p.m.: lay in bed and watch mindless t.v./ read blogs/ think about working out

6:00 -8:00 p.m.: talk to hubby about his day. watch celebrity gossip shows

then bed.

productive day, catherine!

someone motivate me, please.

but really, how do you force pull yourself out of a funk?

fill in the blank friday: 7/15/2011

good morning! it's moving day... stress fun! had to link up with lauren because i love fill in the blank fridays...

1. i am a (morning , middle of the day, evening person): morning, definitely! i like to rise and shine way before sunrise. i feel like i am at my best in the mornings and being a teacher helps too, i am that 'annoying' awesome morning person!

2. my favorite station on pandora is: don't have one, i prefer my i-phone.

3.  three of my must have songs on a roadtrip playlist are: highway to hell by ac/dc, the road goes on forever by robert earl keen jr, and mercedes benz by janis joplin!

4. my favorite pattern is: i have to name at least three, swirl, floral, and right now i am loving the chevron pattern.

5. my favorite perfume is: chance by chanel.

6. rules are: like manners, they need to be used but sometimes you just gotta break 'em!

7. the most overused phrase or punctuation is/are: "i'm starving" ok you are NOT starving, you are hungry, i do not know anyone personally who is starving and if they were god willing i would help them. most overused punctuation is definitely the exclamation point, i do not recall in grammar learning to use !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! more than once.

waiting on the movers, more moving/packing, quick trip to walmart to return some pathetic curtains and then hopefully cooling down somewhere. decorating can wait...

what are you doing today?
