2014

Let's just skip 2013, shall we?

I've given this blog a facelift. I like it. Maybe it will inspire me to post again. We'll see how long it lasts this time... :P

I want to do a reboot on my goals, they have seriously changed. I mean, I had a kid, so... yeah. Things are different. At least a little bit. Going to try to get this together...

See you soon!

JOO-LY

Been a while for a goal update... I've been busy. Doing nothing. Yes, I hermited for like a year, okay? whatever. I'm done with that. Here I am. And here's a very sad update on my goals for being over a year.

Now let's make some progress...

.:Weight loss:.

Let's not talk about this right now, mmkay? When I get some motivation I'll start putting down progress. At the moment it's just embarrassing.

I'm 22! yay. I feel like I'm officially an adult now. crap. That means an attempt at responsibility. blah. First few weeks okay... went to Disneyland for 3 days last week. AWESOME. Posting pictures and such on Facebook and the ppk blog soon. :) Got some books there... of course. It's a terrible addiction.

Any thoughts on the current books in my queue?

Busy busy busy.... always. Notice how I've started 3 new books without completing two I've been stuck in for ever. I'm cool like that. I'll never get through all these books at this rate. I really need to make a point of reading every day. I used to at night but since Jesse started working nights I've been staying up 'til like 1am every day which makes me too tired to read once I get to bed. ugh.

So I've decided to be productive today. I actually got up before noon so I think that's a start. We'll see how it progresses...

It's November!

I'm so excited! Just 37 more days until we get the keys to our new apartment. It's so far away! And yet so close... :D So on the upside, I've been keeping myself busy so as not to succumb to the urge to start packing just yet.

I finished another book. :)

About time for another update... We found an apartment! It's called Stone Canyon on Higley and the 60. We move in December 11! I'm so excited. It's finally cooling down! 90 degrees is the high today. So beautiful! I think those crazy storms took the temperatures with them! It's actually getting slightly chilly at night; I can't wait to wear sweaters!

Okay, not too much more going on around here. I am posting in the family blog more if you want to check that out. I have the day off tomorrow and want to be super productive! I'm excited about it. Hopefully it works out. -crosses fingers-

I'm so happy! The results show of So You Think You Can Dance was on last night. They revealed the top 3 dancers going to the final next week. They are perfect! I was so scared that Adechike was going to get in, I've been wanting him to go home for so long. So glad my 3 favorites are in the top! :D

Love them! I'm so excited for next week! :)

Kind of productive...?

So stoked that I don't have to pay for storage this week! Getting the furniture moved out today and it's done! We have a full garage again but at least now it's our stuff. I'm going to get a plastic set of drawers to put out there and dig out some of my kitchen stuff so it can be accessible and maybe I'll cook more. :)

Anyway, wanted to update since I actually did something...
