It's ok....

that this is the funniest website I have been to in a long time my life through kristen wiig

that stores are already putting out Halloween items (buh-bye summer)

that my ONE project for the summer was to finish my dressing room and it's almost complete

to totally look forward to Sunday night, True Blood (helllllo)

to stay in your p.j.'s all day, you deserve some alone time

to wear a one piece

to pin one zillion things in a day

that I still haven't been to a pool or beach this summer

that I am the most excited about the fact that I completed several loads of laundry

and to spice things up here's goes it's NOT ok...

to tell a couple trying to get pregnant ANY of the following things:

• You should just relax
• Don't worry, it will happen
• You're both still so young
• My spouse just has to look at me and we're pregnant
• Maybe it's a sign
• Are you pregnant yet?

Tomorrow is Friday, wa-hoo to all of you working people out there! Friday is my second favorite F word!

So happy to have made it all the way to Thursday! What a week it has been. My insomnia is out of control. And let me tell you there is nothing to do in the middle of the night, anything on television is awful yet not boring enough to put me to sleep, and if I start reading I don't want to put the book down. Suggestions wanted!

It's Ok

...to use dry shampoo 3 days in a row (guilty)

... to have a spontaneous movie day (teachers only)

... to have a countdown of how many days until summer vacation (again, teachers only)

... to have piles upon piles of laundry

... to dream about big projects you want to accomplish yet have no idea where to start

... to get excited about the mailman mistakenly putting someone's magazine subscription in your mailbox (score)

... to be an adult napper

... to know bikini season is around the corner but you love your body and don't feel the need to change it

... to spend four dollars on Starbucks because it makes you feel better

... to keep your opinions to yourself (facebook diary)

... to pray about everything!

What are your okays for today?

*April is National child abuse prevention and awareness month. Support the cause by wearing BLUE this month.

(1) My greatest strength is: my compassion and love for mankind.

(2) My greatest weakness is: my sometimes selfish tendencies.

(3) People always compliment me on: my bracelets. I never take them off and continuously add to them. I feel naked without them, it reveals my vulnerability.

(4) If you found me procrastinating you could probably find me: looking at celebrity gossip. www.dlisted.com & www.icydk.com are my favorites!

(5) The most cozy place in all the world is: my bed! I like to cocoon myself in miles of blankets... imagine The Princess & the Pea.

(6) Something new that I tried recently was: NOT getting into bed once I got home from work. I've kept myself busy and it feels great!

(7) This weekend I would like to: shop for the house & for myself... Spring cleaning & spring wardrobe, hooray!

I hope ya'll have a fantastic Friday & an even better weekend!

above is an example of my "bracelet arm".

What do you have planned?

Can you identify your strengths and weaknesses?

I can't explain the joy I feel knowing that tomorrow is the last day of school until Spring Break 2012!

I am doing a stay-cation and taking care of some stuff around the house.

It's Ok...

...to be in complete spring break mode

...to have a never ending list of things to do, but stay in bed and watch lifetime movies

... to take a week off of working out BEFORE spring break (whoops!)

... to be excited for your maid to come

... to not shave past your knees

... to wear the same outfit from dinner the night before to work, hey you're recycling!

i love jennamarbles!





Wishing everyone a totally terrific Thursday, and remember, it's ok!

10 day YOU challenge: day 1-10 secrets

i am excited to do this for the next ten days.
here are my ten secrets, in no particular order.

1) i hate talking to strangers on the phone, like ordering pizza/food/anything
2) i really want a baby
3) my house is a total mess
4) i have a maid that comes weekly (shame on me i know, but i need the help)
5) i am perfectly happy spending the day in bed and do it quite often.
6) people i work with are CONSTANTLY asking me if i am pregnant, and they are women asking me...girl code people! i am just extra pudgy right now. it's embarrassing so i tell no one.
7) i wear fake eyelashes pretty much everyday.
8) i get annoyed when people complain on their facebook statuses, just because you have an opinion about something doesn't mean we all want to hear about it.
9) i love to doodle and imagine that my handwriting is the bomb.com.
10) i wear leggings as pants!

try skipping!

many of you know i am an educator which means i have the summers off. i decided to focus on two goals: my fitness and becoming a more domestic housewife. i have learned that i only like to do 'chores' when i feel like it; not necessarily when the house needs it. one of the duties i must try is grocery shopping. i hate grocery shopping. so after i finished ironing, dusting, and plotting my list i went to the store.

i decided to be happy. i skipped. just like these two happy people are doing. it didn't hurt, its so simple and easy and it without fail made me feel good. an elderly man noticed me and said, "you sure are happy today", i smiled, skipped a bit more and replied "i sure am!"
