Just a small town girl that's been all around the world and back again...Now settled into life as a fabulous wife and momma of two darling daughters if I say so myself. And I do say. Enjoying loving and living this life!
Well it all started here:
After a $300 trip to the grocery store (and then me throwing out half the stuff because I never got around to cooking it before it went bad - oppsie), I started looking at coupons in the paper. No, not the coupons you are thinking of, get $1.00 off your salad dressing of choice. More like the coupons, buy 1 large pizza for $10.99 and get a free liter of soda.
As I was glancing through the 'buy one bbq sandwich platter, get one free' I spotted this:
Oh, yeah! Just what I need to trash up our back yard. Well, I have a good self image and I don't care what our neighbors think, bring on the blow up pool that takes up over half your yard. I am hot, people, and remember from a post ago how obssessed I am with being outside? Thanks to Dave Ramsey (and I mean that sincerely), we are living on a budget below our means, and this summer does not allow for a $325/month membership to the country club in addition to the $2,500 initiation fee. Next year.
So off to KMart I go...yes, I said KMart. Did you even know they still existed? To find this gem for $20! Well since that was such a steal, I might as well pick up a little assistance (automatic air pump for $20). And there you have it, for 40 bucks, an afternoon of fun. Yep, that's all it lasted. One day. No time since then. :(
I will go ahead and give you a glimpse of my fourth of july weekend that happened almost a month ago now:
Here's hoping to get that baby up and going again before summer's end.
Just opened up my 'blogger account' to find oh, about 7 or 8 started, yet unfinished, posts.
What the heck is wrong with me?!
I believe it has something to do with my personality. Must work on that flaw. You see, I am a 'sanguine' which in personality language, according to Wikipedia, means:
"The Sanguine temperament personality is fairly extroverted. People of a sanguine temperament tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy. They are usually quite creative and often daydream."
HOWEVER, it goes on to say...
"Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when pursuing a new hobby, interest is lost quickly when it ceases to be engaging or fun."
ahahahahahahah. Actually, I realize it is not really that funny.
I mean seriously, every freakin' day I think/talk about a blog post about something Bri said or my latest obsession (blow up pool in backyard), then I get distracted, probably perusing around pinterst. I get too busy pinning to type.
How many times have I had an idea that is so gung ho that lasts 2 mayyyyybe 3 weeks?! Seriously, as classy as I want to be, I am a 'fad girl' at heart. I am the first to jump into the latest workout/diet or celebrity hairstyle for about A MINUTE before getting sidetrcked onto the next best thing. Let me humor you with a few that come to the top of my mind:
wheatgrass.
zumba.
cooking.
diets.
running.
early morning reading.
hair.
blog.
The truth of the matter is that there are some things that I do not waiver on, like being a wife and mom and business owner X 2. Sometimes, I am so busy productive handling those tasks, along with a full time job, that the little fads take a back seat in my life. And I am ok with that. But there is a part of me that wants to do this for them, though, for Babe and Pumpkins, to capture all of our MANY fun family moments.
Now that the personality has been revealed (as if it wasn't already obvious), I will work on some discipline, and maybe even a blog post or two. ;)
