Oh My

whew

wait a minute...

lol

I was just talking about us being on the fritz and then the first video I watch is this lil tasty and it all comes back to me. He IS my man. Damnit!




They have so sooo many awesome songs, but for some reason, this has always been my favorite. This was one of the first Black Keys songs I ever heard and from that instant I was head over heels.

on the fritz

Dan and I are going through somewhat of a rough patch right now. I still love him and he still loves me, but we're agreeing to see other people. Cause I cannot get enough of  THIS...

I just can't help it!

chaos!

I feel like my brain has turned to mush! I am better today, but the last two days I have been walking around in a fog. I have been so busy every minute my body was on strike I think. Tearing up floors and moving furniture and cleaning up messes from all the people that have been at my house every night helping. The past four nights I've cooked and cleaned up after 12. After working all day. It's been interesting for sure. I haven't had the best attitude, and that disappoints me. But my little mom helped me see the error of my ways. She reminded me that so many people would love to put down new floors but can't afford it. And that I'm lucky I even get to do projects like this. That I should be grateful. Yes!! She's exactly right! Thanks mom!

I also roped myself into entering the edible book contest at the library. I'm just nerdy like that. We always love to see all the entries. We look forward to it every year just like the nerds we so are. So..this year I made my own lil entry from The Help. When I dropped it off last night there were some pretty good ones. I don't expect to win goodness no, but it was really fun. Next year I won't be working under such chaotic circumstances I hope so I'll have more time to work on it. I had big dreams for my lil Help project and I didn't get to do most of them. It still turned out somewhat like I pictured it in my mind.

I feel like I need some time to step back from all that is going on and breathe a minute and remember things that I have forgotten. Not forgotten but when life gets super fast and crazy its easy to let things slip to the back of your mind or get lost in all the jumble that's floating around in there. Like...I forgot that I used to really like meditating. I took that one class on it and was fascinated with it and I really liked it. And then slowly I just forgot to do it. It really helped me when I was transitioning from my old job to my new. It helped to clear my head and I always felt more myself when I did it regularly.

I have also forgotten that happiness is a constant effort. It's something you DO. I've forgotten that a time or three. You have to find things that make you happy and make an effort to keep those things in your life. Keep up habits that make you happy and keep close objects or songs or foods that make you happy. I get sidetracked sometimes and get in a rut and I'll find myself looking around eventually thinking hey...where'd my happy stuff go? Then all I have to do is gather it up and dive back in. It's easy really, once I figured it out. Thank the Universe for Eat Pray Love, Jason Mraz, music in general and somewhat of a miracle for showing me those secrets. I'll never be the same :)

Something else I let slip a little, is that attitude is everything. It's easy when you're around people that don't share that same belief to get swept up in the negative. I've been working on that this week. I'm working on being thankful for what I've got and loving myself the way I am. That's what makes me happiest.

make my day!!

new!!

please hurry!!!
