Me and my chunk-E-ness!

I've attempted several different diets/change of calorie intakes and lately I have NOT been doing so well, so I'm trying to get back on track.  Going for a different approach, I know carbs and I have a love/hate relationship, so I'm goin to go with a low-carb thing for a while and of course no soda.  I think in my P.E./Health college I got really grossed out by some of the info I didn't realize about soda.  Yuck.  I just keep thinking that when I go for one.  haha.

Anyway sooo here's one of my morning snacks.

Apples and Nutella.  OMMMGOSH! YUM! DELISH!

For breakfast I'm trying to just go with some form of protein, maybe some fruit as well.

I usually eat a little more for lunch Yesterday was broccoli & rice and then tuna. Then for supper I'm trying to keep it light, like a salad and chicken or some form of veggies with some meat like product.  I think if I stick to that it may help me out a little.  I think I'm going to start a menu for myself that way I can REALLY keep myself in check.  I'm such a disorganized person anyway, I NEED to do this!!! :)

Caterpillar Curiosities

It was just what I needed today.... my little guy and I did quite a bit today including...  played school on his chalkboard, played with play dough, watched The Wizard of Oz for the second time in three days...haha... HE LOVES IT! , danced like crazy in our living room, ate lunch with Grandma and played outside where we investigated a caterpillar.  He was very curious about it so we watched it for awhile seeing where it went.  At one point he said he needed to feed it some grass and pulled up some grass and put it on top of the caterpillar.  He's so goofy.

Thinking Happy Thoughts.

So here is an update on the moving situation.  I'm sooooo sick of all of these WALLS we keep hitting.  It makes me want to SCREEEAAAMMMM!!!!  Okay I'm good now....  Anyway.  So we actually found an amazing little brick house that was foreclosed on and we LOVED it!! There was only a few minor details that needed a little work and it wasn't in the school district I was hoping for, but still it's a smaller school district so I'm just fine with it, it was WORTH it.  My favorite part of the whole house was the kitchen, it was adorable!! The cabinets were WHITE!!, I know that's silly but I've always liked white cabinets, I'm not that crazy about the wood look, only on floors. :)  Anyway, we were approved! We signed a contract, and now we are waiting.... there's been a few weird things... like our realtor is a bit scatterbrained and wants to bit chattery and gossipy and I just want to be like STOPPP!! JUST DO YOUR JOB!! ....but I'm not like that sooo I listen to her.  Plus I don't know anything about foreclosed houses and I know that there's other things you have to go through before getting it but so far it seems ridiculous.  I'm not going to stop until we get this DANG house... we've been looking and trying to get something for a month now, maybe even more than a month and it's starting to really irritate me.  I'm getting to the point where I just want to MOVE!  I have things I can easily do around the house first though so I'm trying to look at the positive side of waiting on these silly things as time to really organize and sort through each room, but I would much rather have the motivation of... YES WE DO OWN A HOUSE AND WE CAN MOVE IN IMMEDIATELY... but I guess I will have to be patient.  Blurg.  I'm just sick of getting my hopes up...once again to have them crushed by something silly.  Sooooo irritating.
Hopefully very very soon I can say we have a house!!....I hope.  Ugg.... :/

My Lil Guy

 

Frustrated with Life.... sometimes.

Trying my best to stay positive, but lately it seems like we can't catch a break for nothing....
We are trying to move... and it seems like everything is against us right now.  We looked into renting, we found on house we loved but found out it was already being rented.  Then we found another place to rent, but it smelled like smoke and a lot of things were REALLY messed up in it.  So we thought, lets go ahead and look at some trailers, because my mom and dad said we could live on their land if we ever wanted to... so that's what we thought we could do.  Well we found one, got our credit ran... had to look at a little bit cheaper ones which wasn't any surprise. Then we thought that it was silly spending a lot of money for a single wide trailer, so we thought of looking else where to find our best options.  We found one we LOVED... I felt sooooo at home in it.  It was a double wide, cheaper by almost 20,000 and it was used (you couldn't tell it all all!), so we thought ohhh yes this one is it.  We were DENIED! It was really shocking and I got my hopes up... And this past weekend we looked at new ones and we were fine with the one we looked at, but there's no way we can pay the down payment. Soooo we thought lets see about that house for rent again. Yep... It's being rented. Haha! Luck is not on our side at all right now. :( But things happen for a reason, so hopefully we are just waiting for that perfect house to pop out! :)

This is me!

I thought I should put show an actual picture of myself instead of the cartoon version.

I swear my hair is not really this short, I just have it put up, which is what I've been doing a lot lately.  I can't stand it down on my face, especially while my face is incredibly irritated as of the moment.  Anywayyy... it really is naturally red and recently I put blond highlights in it that I love.  Sometime when I have it down and fixed I will take a much better picture of myself.  Sooo I think since I titled this post "This is Me", I should probably tell you should random things about myself.

1. I secretly would love to become a music teacher. (I honestly can't sing all that great... it's a little scary I'm pretty sure!!) I would love to pick out music for kids to sing at concerts and pick out the play that they put on and ....... sigh... that would be soooo much fun. I loveee anything pretty much about music.  I use to play the piano and flute.  I can still play the piano some, just wish I would have stayed with it a bit more so by now I would have totally been a pro! :)  Also it's one of my dreams to learned to play the guitar and violin.  I don't know why, I've just always been intrigued by them.  I've been wanting some sort of music note or symbols of some sort as my next tattoo on my other wrist.  I also have a wide range of genres that I love to listen to as well. 

2.    My favorite shows right now, even though I usually end up missing half of them because of school would have to be.... drum roll please...  The voice (music love)...Smash (music/Broadway love)... Whitney (because she's just hilarious)... andddd...Once upon a time (which is probably my favorite out of all of them... loveeee it!!!)

3.  Sadly I don't cook that much, but when I do watch out!! Hahaha! Really I do mean watch out, I'm the messiest person on the planet, there will be ingredients more than likely in my hair on my face... somewhere off the wall.  I'm just a mess when I cook!  I experiment a lot with new recipes so it's either a totally yum fest or...just an epic fail.  My husband is honestly a million times better at cooking then I am.  I think it's because he has a bit of perfectionist-like tendencies and he tries and makes things just right.  However, I am all over the place, and a huge mess comes out of every meal whether it's good or bad. 

4.  I have my future children's names pretty much already picked out and they are awesome!  Am I going to tell you....  are you kidding me?? So that someone can totally steal it?? Yeah Right! hahaa! I would love to tell you, but I seriously have never heard these names before and I love both of them so I'm going to be totally selfish and keep them for myself even if it is another 5 years before I have my next kid! :)  My husband and I are pretty much settled on the next boys name, but he has his own crazy girl name and I have mine! So I guess if it's twins we can name both of them.  I know I'm a odd duck.

  I've got plenty of random things I could spit out at anytime, so I think I will let that be it for now.  I will let you know more wacky weird things later.  Until next time.... Cheerio!

Tasty Treats!

I am constantly on the lookout for new kinds of foods and drinks I haven't tried, especially anything healthy.  I've been trying really hard to read labels and go with more all natural ingredients, but sometimes I just want to try something new.  Today I found two new things that I got really excited about.

This new tasty Starbucks energy drink!!

I know it's not all natural or anything but it's really good!! :)

plus it was low in calories.

And these are all natural!! And so so soooo very good!  I could probably make myself sick on these!
