New Blog Name???

So I am trying out something different....did you notice? Changed the name of my blog! I think it fits {me} better...cause you can't forget that it's all about me!....LOL...Ok seriously, I will be completely torn away from blogland this weekend....soccer, soccer, soccer....But you know I love it...soccer that is...not being away from my addiction...bloggin' that its....Have a great weekend. B:)

***UPDATE*** Nevermind....it was taken already. :(

Fall, Autumn, Harvest, Whatever?

So, I am less than enthusiastic at decorating for Fall, Autumn, Harvest, whatever, and I don't know why. I should be jumping at the chance with a new house to decorate and all, but I am not feelin' it. Might have something to do with how b.u.s.y. I am with the school's soccer club (yeah, I took that on. I. run. it). Serious exhaustion setting in, but that is also one of the things that I absolutely adore about this time of year and yet...not feelin' the joy. Could also be that it's still, like, 110 degrees here and I loathe the heat. (yep been here all my life and am still here and still hate the heat) Ok, so it's not 110 but it is still in the 100 degree range, fuuuurrrrr real people. Maybe my *early for the season* cold is not helping either...hmm, need a cough drop by the way....

I thought I would start with my blog and see if that helps set the mood. I am going to see if a pumpkin spice latte will help and then from there I am out of ideas....any help out there?

Oh yeah....Happy Fall Ya'll!

Stepford Moment

Ok, so. Have you ever done something and then 2 or 3 days later realize that what you had done could fall under the "stepford clause?" Well, yeah, I had one of those. I recently went to a Pampered Chef party (yep, love PC and will go to everyone that I am invited to. Hint, hint.) But the afternoon before I was to go, I chipped my toenail polish. Yes. You read that correctly. A toenail. They are painted purple right now and I l.o.v.e. them.

So I went searching around my office for a purple sharpie. You know the permanent markers. Anyway, I found my assistant to have one and I was so excited and then filled in the toenail where the paint had chipped.

Ummm, anyone laughing at me here?

She (my assistant) couldn't believe what I had done. I proceeded to tell her that when you live in Stepford chipped polish is not acceptable. And then I thought about that and was like yeah, this marker worked great! And it totally did the trick.....and now I am thinking.....how shallow am I? I mean really I am worried about my toenail appearance? Do we or do we not have more serious issues to consider in this world.

It totally took a "Stepford Moment" to put my perspective back in check.

Determined

Well I am not sure if I have ever been described as having determination. I know that is not a quality that we all strive for. We often overlook it for other descriptive things like, honesty, compassionate and trustworthy, and the countless other words that are constantly used to describe the people in my world. And I use the term "my world" pretty loosely considering that my world really only revolves around my kids. Anyway. I digress. I guess I should explain.

I have read countless blogs, emails, text messages and first had accounts of how sooooo many people went to see NKOTB. Now I tried to get my "old" posse together to go see them, but I don't think anyone took me seriously. I truly love to go to a good concert and they were the first concert that I ever saw. Incredible, not floor seats, but we made our way to the floor and seriously, we could have tasted the sweat that was pouring off of their foreheads. Do you get my vibe? It was truly great. Loved it. Wanted to go see them again. Didn't want to go alone though. But I tell you I will have the utmost determination to get to the next concert that I am even remotely interested in going to. I mean when is Rob Thomas coming back? I have got to see him. Or Casting Crowns, Matthew West, Nickelback.....and ok I admit it, I probably would even take Grace to see Miley Cyrus. I know, question my parenting here, but my love for music is genetic and both of my kids are music freaks! Love it!

So needless to say, I am annoyed with myself for not taking the opportunity to see NKOTB more serious. Determination. That's whats going to get me to the next concert that comes my way. (of course it has to be someone that I want to see!)

random thoughts

So I am really, no I mean really busy at work, (I know what you are thinking, "why is she blogging then?"). Honestly, I am sooo tired I can't even put two sentences together. Why is she tired? you ask. Well for starters I had a pretty intense weekend, fun, but busy. Had a great time on Saturday night by the way. Ruth Chris' Steakhouse, in a word, FABULOUS. The company was excellent (hubby and 4 of our best pals) and the food was outstanding. Anyway, I digress, when I have a really busy couple of days and then the husband snores so loudly I can still here him when I am on the couch, yeah that spells exhaustion for me....not to mention I am now half way through my list (see previous post) and I don't feel like I have even made a dent.

So, I am now trying to work sleep deprived and let me tell you it takes me twice as long to get anything done because I keep having to do things over that I thought I did right the first time. I know I am going to be like this all week (it takes me a really long time to catch up on sleep....and for those of you that know me well, you know the reason). So these random thoughts keep coming into play, like where I would rather be or I should be recounting "my list" or trying to decide which flavor of coffee I need. Yes, need. I don't usually day dream about napping, but right now, I wish I was in my bed (not going to happen, but a girl can dream) cuddled with my blankie (yes, I have a blankie, my sister made it for me) and a quiet house (kids are still in school). Anyway, like I said, random thoughts.
