all about moi

It seems like all I blog about anymore is my kids. And while that's not a bad thing by any means, I decided to do a me post. I was going to post a nice picture of the now me but most of you know that I do not like to be in front of the camera and I don't have any recent pics (and I'm in my jammies right now and probably will be all day so I won't be taking one today either..). Anyhoo, here goes.

Right now, I am:

reading  the Autobiography of Henry VIII (trying to, I'm in a lull) and A People's History of the United States (recommended by Deb), I'm only about 30 pages in but it's pretty interesting so far.

watching gLee. I am LOVING this show so much! At first I thought it was super cheesy but the more I watched the more I got hooked. The funny parts are so random and I actually like the singing and dancing that happens unexpectedly when the kids are walking down the school halls. I know it sounds lame, but it’s my feel-good, make-me-happy show right now. LOVE. IT.

anticipating GNO to see Water For Elephants, SUMMER!, getting our housing credit back and having all our credit cards paid off, and the Hunger Games movie (it's become an obsession of mine that's bordering on crazy).

wanting oh so many things. I know I’m not supposed to covet but I would really like: thick hair, good eyesight, straight teeth, smooth skin, a smaller waist and bigger boobs, a new car and a garage to put it in, a clothes-shopping spree, a new computer, a really nice camera, an i-slice, an old-fashion type writer, and a VACATION (somewhere tropical and/or the Mediterranean). Oh, and world peace. :)

thinking that I would like to be able to be a SAHM very, very soon. And that as frustrated as I get with my husband’s “schemes”, it would be pretty freaking awesome if one went through and I truly hope that it happens for him. And me, of course. :)

disliking people who lie outright, those who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions, music on blogs, my job (though right now, I'm very grateful that I have one), and the COLD!

listening to songs by the glee cast, paramore, muse, britney spears and florence and the machine (it’s a weird combo, I know).

splurging on new makeup, cheap jewelry, brightly-colored shoes, and lots of scrapbook supplies.

saving for our cruise! And a new microwave.

trying to be more grateful for what I have, eat better/healthier/less (ha!), yell less (at cars and my kids :), wean myself off dr. pepper, and get toned up.

looking for cute black boots, an old typewriter, cool picture frames, comfy slippers, and a new hairstyle.

loving scrapbooking galleries and blogs, pinterest, paper tape and mists, netflix, the color gray, vintage stuff (but the fake, new vintage stuff :), “boyfriend” cardigans, chocolate milk, my silly kids, and gLee!

Well, there you have it- a small glimpse of me at this moment. Thanks for stopping by and have a happy Sunday!

About Me

My photo
My cute little fam consists of me, my partner in crime Dick, and our little monkeys: Karter and Zachary. My sweet, dedicated husband is trying to build my dream life for me. But for the time being, I have two full time jobs- mommyhood and a piece of cake desk job with an awesome boss. We stay super busy but have lots of fun in the process. I've become obsessed with scrapbooking lately. I've done it for years but never really had the time. I still don't but now I have my little scrap cubby that I don't have to clean up for dinner, etc. It makes things much easier and now I can scrap when I have a few minutes. Which is really not that often but I'm grateful for what I have.
