Ok...here they are...in no particular order:
1.) My Dansko shoes!
I heart my danskos! They are easy to wear, fun to wear, and when I wear them...I add two more inches to my height. Not like I need it...I'm tall enough already, but I love a shoe that has a heel on it that feels good. Most of my other heels leave me in pain almost a hour exactly after I put them on. I have these knobby, long toes that go on for days! At least the heel AND the roomy toe in my danskos are forgiving! They are super flexibly. They can be worn for work, play, and they are like the winter version of a flip flop. Not so much in construction, but more so in the fact that you can throw them on and just go! I feel MUCH better about giving up my flip flops this fall since I have three...YES THREE PAIRS...of danksos now. I've been scavenging the internet for them on ebay and on sale on the web. LOVE THEM!!!
2.) MY BLACKBERRY!!!
Yes! I have officially become a sheep, but I love my blackberry. I've thought about upgrading to a microsoft interface phone in the future...or a htc...or some other type of smart phone, but I love, love, love my blackberry. The only thing that really perturbs me is the fact that I can't talk and surf the web at the same time. I've heard that is not so much a fault of blackberry, but more of a fault with my cell phone provider. I'm not going to make mention of who that is, but I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself. They frequently go back and forth with AT&T about how they are so much better. I honestly think it is a flush between the two of them.
3.) My hair...
Since I've started paying for my own haircuts, product, etc I have been hell bent on having hair that isn't nasty or fugly looking. I spent to much of my childhood growing up with dry, damaged, "WTF were you thinking about?!" haircuts and styles to last me for a lifetime. I can remember kids making fun of my hair and I absolutely loathed the color. These days I love the color, but at the same time...my age is starting to get the best of me. As soon as I got comfortable with the color I'm in...I am trying to figure out a way to make way for the other color that is making it's way in...GREY AND WHITE. Thank the Lord for color!
If I am broke and eating peanut butter and jelly...or worse ramen noodles on a meal by meal basis...I will still find some way to justify avoiding the $12 hair-cut salon. I guess you're lucky if you can find a salon that will only charge you $12 for a cut these days, but let me tell you...I don't mind paying a little extra as long as I get what I'm paying for.
My only hope is if I end up with a (ok...I don't mean to offend but I'm going to say it anyway b/c I can't find any other way to word it)...IF I ever end up with a dike haircut...please tell me! Thank you.
4.) Movies!
I love the movies. I don't get to go to them much anymore. Even if I had the time to go...I'd probably have to boycott actually going to them in the movie theater. I know you loose some of the effect that goes with a large theater and freaking awesome surround sound, but really...before you know it we will be signing over our first borns to go to a movie in the theater. I guess that just means that I have to some how start designing my own home movie system that can equal or surpass what the theaters have. I guess by the time I have that all figured out...I'm hoping I'll be able to afford it!
5.) TATTOOOOOOOSSS!!!!
As most of you know...I just recently took a freaking huge step. I GOT MY FIRST TATTOO! I love to show it off and I wish I felt more comfortable in my skin to wear clothes that showed it off. I keep debating back and forth if I'll get another one. The whole process of actually getting the tattoo ranked right up there with child birth, but let me tell ya...it's fun! I love having something on my body...other than a scar...that tells a story. I'm hoping that next spring and summer I'll be wearing more tank tops and summer dresses so I can get the most out of my tatt! Secretly, one of the other reasons I decided to go with my tattoo now is to help fuel another obsession I have...but I'll get into that later!
6.) DIET COKE!!!
I love Diet Coke! I need to drink more water, but it seems like this little critter always sneaks it's way into my hand. I'm less dependant on coffee and more dependent on my diet coke! There is nothing I love better than sitting down...with a movie of course...and chomp'in down a slice of Papa John's pizza and a cold bottle of diet coke! OH HOW I HEART THEE!!!
7.) My weight
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...I know you're all probably tired of hearing about it. I can hear it now..."Rose! Shit or get off the pot!!!" Like so many other things I'm afraid of failing at it. I've tried to change my diet...tried to exercise more, but seriously...I can't take a lb off. I wish I would have breast fed Ian longer than I did, but that is the past and I can't dwell on that anymore. I want a diet that will be a lifetime change and that my kids and husband can do as well. I don't want to make meals for myself and then make a completely different meal for them. I try to blame my birth control on my wieght gain, but I'm sure it is just my lack of motivation that keeps it on. I dunno...I know I'll never have the tiny little hard body that I had when I first married Warren. Lord...I didn't have two kids and a home to deal with then. Seven or eight years ago I could go to the gym whenever I wanted. Now I have three other schedules to deal with ALONG with my own!!! I guess it isn't so much to look thinner...I guess I just want to be healthier.
Ok...I'm going to tell y'all a secret. You are all going to slap me on the wrist, but I'm going to share it with you. I skipped my health screening on Saturday b/c I was afraid of what they were going to say. I know they were going to tell me I need to loose at least 20-30 lbs...but I'm more afraid they are going to tell me to do something about the things I can't see. I am a chronic nasty food for my body eater. I never use to love food like I do now, but Lord...there has to be some way to balance feeling good about myself and being healthy!!!
8.) Engagements....
Please...if you are reading this and are friends with my sister...please do not go and tell her I'm writing about this. I am totally convinced that my sister is going to get engaged soon! I can't wait!!! I really kinda like the guy she is dating, and I totally love to see her happy! I can't wait for her to be able to experience all that there is to engagement...and marriage. YEAH! I've already started planning her bridal shower and bachelorette in my head. Watch out...I better start saving up now!!!
Well, I guess that is all I can come up with for now. I hope you all have a great week...and I'll talk to you all soon! Later!
