Soul

This song always makes me feel a little sunshine when I'm feeling lost, which seems to be a lot lately. Just love the simplicity of it and wish all things in life were so simple and clean. I always feel like I can do more, be more to help the good of society - but I'm too wrapped up in my own world. Maybe a New May Resolution.

Baby Brother

One of my best friends in the whole world, Laurel, had a baby boy on early early early Tuesday morning. They got to the hospital around 11 something pm...it all happened super fast, couldn't get any drugs, 4 pushes later and out comes "baby brother". They're still deciding on a name. Here is what I love about my friend Laurel. She has this traumatic birth where everyone is taking their good sweet time getting around to her, she has to suffer through natural birth - not by choice, pops out a kid at just before 1am...and texts me at 1:30am to tell me he's arrived. I love that girl! Tonight I got to go over and hold him and cuddle him. He's SOOOO cute. I pretty much hogged him the whole time - which, another reason I love her - SHE LET ME! Her daughter Rachel was a cute baby, but seemed so much more sturdy than this little guy. He is TINY! He was only a few ounces smaller - but he seems like just this tiny tiny version of a baby. I held Rachel the morning after she was born still in the hospital. He still seems tinier than that. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure - here is "baby brother". I put my vote in for Grant, which is what it was going to be - but Aaron (her husband) called a last minute audible (he coaches football for the U, so had to throw in a football term) and now they're tossing back and forth between Grant and Quinn. We'll see...

Stalling Tactic.

Hi! Remember me? The writer of this blog? Seriously nothing that different or write-able has happened to me since last month. I took 3 trips in March (2 for work, 1 for fun?) and have been trying to catch up ever since.

Last week I decided to start eating healthier. Note: I lost 5.7 lbs last week! This week, I'm eating healthier WHILE adding in the working out factor. I'm actually supposed to be working out right now, but stalling and any excuse will do.

Here's what I found so intriguing I had to blog about it.

Did you know that I walk around my apt nekkid a good lot of the time? Yup I do. No biggie right? But - I sometimes leave the blinds in my family room on my sliding door, not only open, but pulled all the way back for all to see.

Here's the funny thing - I'm about to go start a workout tape. Fully dressed, no biggie...and I had to close the blinds! Priorities really.

Okay off I go now...no more stalling!
