Currently...
Wishing for (a few things actually...)
one: A family vacation ANYWHERE. There's nothing to rejuvenate your soul like a vacation.
two: More quality time with my family. We love spending time together and have so much fun when we do.
three: Financial freedom. I don't want to worry about spending too much on this, or not having enough money for that. I mean, we're at the point where I might have to give up my bikini waxes (TMI?!)!! But I mean seriously... I want to be able to go out to dinner if we want, go see a movie if we want, buy a cute pair of shoes if they're on sale; I think you get the point. Ahhh the joys of middle class America... Which actually conveniently leads into my next "currently."
Thinking about...
one: How I can turn my passion into my family's livelihood. I want to craft, I want to design, and I want to plan. I need to make a plan (ironic?) to get myself on that track! I want to be able to take care of my family AND do the things I love. What a concept, huh? It's crazy how many people in this world are doing what they have to in order to get by and not living their lives doing anything they enjoy. Could you imagine how much better the world would be if everyone was given the opportunity to make a living by living out their dreams and acting upon their passions? I could go on and on about what I'm thinking about, but I think I'll leave it at that for now; how can I turn my passion into my business? If I'm going to be financially scraping by, can I at least get some satisfaction out of it?
two: Zoe. We played fetch last night! It was so heartwarming to know that she is becoming more and more comfortable with us. She would not stop giving me kisses and was a lot more curious about the house. Let's keep the positive momentum going! I can't help but think though, about her at home during the day by herself. The more she's getting used to us, the more I want to be able to be around for her, so it's almost like a confirmation to her that we're not going anywhere. We're going to be making a trip to PetSmart later to get her a bigger kennel/crate. It's actually a large fence that's like 10 feet by 10 feet so she will have much more room to move around during the day while we're at work. Yesterday, Dylan came home to a poopy puppy and we had to spend the larger part of our evening washing her off, as well as towels, toys, the crate, etc. It was a big task and I'm sure it wasn't easy for Zoe to deal with either. This new fenced-in area will hopefully allow her to poop and get away from it!
Obsessing over my new Marc Jacobs purse and wallet. Pretty hazelnut!
Eating nothing at the moment, but I have some of Trader Joe's Meyer Thin Toasted Coconut cookies in my top drawer of my desk at work. It's only 8:30 am, but I don't think that reallllllllly matters in the case of anything coconut.
P.S. that reminds me... Bethenny Frankel aka Skinny Girl genius just launched some new vodka flavors and coconut is one of them! I'm not a drinker, but I'll take a Mudslide with coconut vodka, please! It's 5 o'clock somewhere!
P.P.S. My family has a love affair with a sushi restaurant down the street from our house. I mean, everyone there knows our order by heart; it's kind of ridiculous. I could totally go for my veggie tempura roll (or 2) right about now.
P.P.P.S. Umm... I'm thinking all my random cravings for food this early in the morning are kinda strange and not at all normal. Sushi at 8:30 am?
Smelling my Daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume. Best. Scent. Ever. I also really want to try his new pink "Daisy." Maybe that will be my next one.
Dreaming about (a few things once again... after all, the more dreams you have, the more you have to look forward to and work toward, right?)
one: Our wedding photos. We had an amazing photographer who has given us some sneak peeks already. Okay, okay... I'll show them to you. I don't want you twisting my arm or anything. ;-)
Amazing, right?! So you see why I'm dying to see the rest. Noel, our photographer, says hopefully by the end of next week. Crossing our fingers!
two: My family's future. Austin, Texas. Another baby (girl!). Zoe potty trained and loving us as much as we love her. Satisfying careers for both Dylan and I. Our own home. Family traditions, new and old. Holidays. I believe with all my heart that the future is bright for my family and I.
Listening to myself type on the keyboard. My office is usually relatively quiet, unfortunately. Seeing as how I wish my life were a musical, I'm always a fan of at least background music. In my first few weeks here I experimented with playing my iPod quietly at my desk while no clients were here, but they put a stop to that reallllll quick. Boo. If I could, I would probably want to listen to the entire "Tuskegee" album by Lionel Richie. He geniusly re-recorded all of his hits each with a different country artist. Needless to say.. AMAZING.
Admiring my gorgeous wedding flowers. Another reason why I can't wait to get our wedding photos. My wedding flowers were INCREDIBLE. Literally, there were and are no words I can think of to describe how perfect they were. Ahhhh... I wish I could have kept my bouquet alive forever.
Wow. "Currently" I have a lot on my mind. And I didn't even bore you with half of the other stuff. One thing that didn't fit too well into my list, but some things that have been rocking and rolling around in my head lately are the issues of honesty and trust. More on that later, but one more picture before I go, of some of my "currently" things.
one: Zoe's collar and new tag.
two: My looooovely Marc Jacobs wallet and purse.
three: My AMAZING wedding bouquet.
four: Delicious sushi (my regular order) from Sushiyama!
T.T.F.N. Ta Ta For Now!!
