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

- Gwendolyn
- 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.
Funny I want most those things you covet too! We'll break the commandment together:) I wish so much you could be a SAHM too:( But, sometimes I get really jealous of your working girl life. All the funny stories you tell me and stuff.SAHM hoods fun but sometimes ya really start to miss the grownup world:)
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is "boyfriend" you got a sugar daddy on the side? I tried to join pininterest but alas I'm not as cool as you and they won't accept my request:)
And I use waaay to many happy faces!!!:)
ReplyDeleteFirst off... when are you ladies going to see Water for Elephants? I totally want to come, but wouldn't be able to until the end of may beginning of June. I think it comes out this month, so I'm sure you'll have already seen it, but just in case...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE gLee too! It really is cheesy and has the dumb teen drama. But I love it. So much. I've been tempted to buy their music several times (but restrained myself).
I think I also am coveting many of those things. And I had to laugh at your dislikes. I read "music on blogs" and thought, "Yea, I hate that too... wait! I HAVE music on my blog"... well did. ;)
I love ya Wendy. I think you are beautiful, witty, charming, fun, and a person everyone get along with. Hope you realize how wonderful you are!!
Aw, thanks Liz! Right back at ya! Seriously, I love ya and miss you tons! We are going to Water for Elephants on the 23rd of this month but I'm pretty sure everyone will agree when I say we'll totally go again when you get here. If not that show, a different one for sure!
ReplyDeleteAsh you nerd, that's what they call the style of cardigans. If I had a sugar daddy, I'd have all that stuff. ;)
I use too many happy faces too. And exclamation points.
Okay, I guess I will have to take my music off my blog. I always stress about what music I put on there anyway. (I don't want people thinking, she likes this crap!!) I ditto you on a lot of your wants as well, but especially Boobs:( Oh, how I miss mine. Maybe one day when we have a couple thousands dollars with nothing to spend it on, I will! It is nice being a SAHM, but like Ash said I envy working mothers sometimes too!
ReplyDeleteI don't like music on blogs either. I have to remember to hit my mute button before visiting those blogs (ahem Liz!) JK. :) Really though, I do.
ReplyDeleteI love this list and idea, I might steal it when I'm in the blogging mood again. I like everything you mentioned here except Glee and Brittney Spears, but I'm glad you like them. I'll keep an eye out for some cool boots and an old typewriter, we'll find one eventually, just have to wait for some old person to die and send theirs to the DI. I'm SO SO SO looking forward to Water For Elephants too! Mostly to hang out with the ladies though. :)
Oh haha!!! Thank goodness for google and for you to keep me hip.:) I want a boyfriend now too!
ReplyDeleteI didn't intend to offend anyone with the music on blogs comment. I almost always like the music, but half the time I already have my own on or it's early/late and it scares me when it starts or I'm afraid of waking up my kids. Those are the only reasons. Just wanted to clear that up. Love you all and love reading your blogs! :)
ReplyDeleteAsh, you missed the word "cardigans" after "boyfriend".
ReplyDeleteDitto, I love ya Liz, and think you have great taste in music. I just have to turn it down or else June will hear and we'll be looking at pictures of Sarah and Abby ALL DAY LONG! :)
Oh Wendy Bird it was good to hear what's up with you and your life. I miss you lots. I think I need to do this list for myself :) Love you lots!
ReplyDeleteLove,
your longest friend on the planet.
