Texas Weather

Man oh Man, it looks like we're in for some major thunderstorms today, and most likely the next couple of days. I love the rain, so that's not a biggie, I just hate having Chris drive in it, especially right now, he's not home, and it's pouring outside. So if you're in Texas, be careful. Follow the "Turn around don't drown" good ole Texas saying if you want to drive and it's flooding. (On a softer note, it is good for scrapping.)

Chris is off of work today, so I'm not sure what we will be doing. If it continues to rain like this, I guess a whole lot of nothing. But, being inside with Chris isn't a bad thing. We can watch movies, scrap, I can do some organizing. Speaking of which, I've become ADDICTED to an Organizing TV Show. I'm becoming anal when it has something to do with organization. My new bestfriend is the Container store. If you haven't been, I HIGHLY recommend it.

Not much else to report about, so I will be ending for now.

Have a wonderful day! :0)

Super Excited!

This is going to sound really lame to those of you who don't scrapbook, but I've FINALLY made a layout that I'm completely happy with. (Pics above.) I know to some of you it may be really "Rookie Like", but, I haven't been scrappin' for long, and for the longest time, I was never happy with the layouts, I had a picture in my head, but it never came out like that on paper. So, Yipppee! :0) Hopefully, more to come. *Also the little white dot on the layout was a piece of a sticker, so I didn't intentionally have a white dot on the left hand side. I didn't notice it until after the picture was taken, haha*

Other than that, not much else is new. I'm still working on getting my candles in several stores. I'm actually looking into salons, spa's, and a few LSS's. We shall see, keep your fingers crossed if you happened to stumble on my journal. (That is, if you don't mind.)

Tomorrow I'm going to officially start WW's. I know in a prior entry I said I was going to, but.. I procrastinated on the grocery shopping, but nowww I have tons of healthy foods in my pantry, so I'm all set.

That's all for now folks.

Scrapbooking Frustration.

Here I am attempting to make a cute layout, I search all my favorite peas on Twopeas, and I get inspired, and I jump head first into a layout, that I absolutely do not like. The one thing I DO like is the framing around the picture. Other than that, it's a big mess. I hate being so much of a perfectionist, because I either have to try 10000x harder, or I'll never like something. That's one thing I hate about my personality, I have to get it perfect, or I will be discouraged. After Chris' lunch break, I'll go back and try again, adding, or taking things away from the layout, to make it something I do like. I can't wait for the feeling of, "Wow, Kim, you did an awesome job!" I have all these supplies, but I never want to use them, because I know deep down it wont come out right.

Anyway, this was more of an entry to get my frustrations out, and it worked, soooo, bye for now! :0)

Feeling Yucky.

(Here is a Journal I made when I started WW's awhile back, and of course fell off the wagon. It helps hold myself accountable, and track what goes in my mouth. )

So lately I've been feeling incredibly "Blah". I've decided that I will be starting Weight Watcher's officially tomorrow, and starting Monday I will be setting up a work-out plan. I'm 24 years young (Soon to be 25.) and I feel like I'm 40, no offense to those that are 40 reading, but my body just feels so very sluggish, and I don't feel like a 20 something year old woman. My hubby and I want to have children one day, and when that day comes I want to be at a healthy weight range, so my chances of having any complications will be a lot smaller, and of course I want to feel better in my "own skin". So, I vow that I'm going to do this, and I'm not going to let the fast food demon's get the best of me, after all it is nasty, processed "food". Yucky!

Today was a good day, it was my Uncles Birthday. We had a BBQ, swam and just had a good ole time, without family arguments, amazing in our family. Ha ha. Until we got a huge storm, and we all went home. I can't complain, I love storms, and we can always use rain in Texas.

Not much else to say, I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow, and I decided I'm going to pre-plan our dinners, so we can stay on track, and not feel like "Let's go get something to eat since we didn't have anything planned." Because with the two of us, it's so easy to get stuck in that trap.

Anyhow, hope all the Father's have a great Dad's day.

First "Official" Entry.

It's Thursday, and what does that mean? Spurs will take the championship title. :-) We all know it's going to happen, I just wish they they weren't going to sweep them tonight, because I would have loved for them to win in San Antonio, rather than Ohio. What can you do? But, I suppose I also would rather them win to save the people on the streets, they get WILD. But, I'm sure regardless of where they win, there will be crazy Spurs fans driving around downtown San Antonio, screaming "Go Spurs Go!".

On other news, I'm officially getting my DBA tomorrow! (Doing Business As.) I'm pretty excited, I'm finally going to have my own candle business. If you're wondering what my name will be, it is in my header. ;-) I hope I succeed with this. There is always a small doubt saying, "What if you don't.." I guess that's life for you. If I don't succeed, I'll know that I gave it my best shot, and then I'll either go back to school, or go back in the banking field.

I'm pretty excited about my bestfriend coming down to San Antonio this weekend. I haven't seen her in a couple of months ever since she had her lapband surgery, and I'm sure she'll look wonderful! Speaking of which, I'm going to be starting WW's again this upcoming week. Why not today you ask? Well, tomorrow is payday and I'll stock up on all the wonderful healthy food. (Insert eye roll here.) Ha! I need to be a trooper. I can officially say I'm addicted to food. Sad, very sad.

Anyway, wanted to do one post. Hopefully someone is reading this. If you are, drop a comment, and I'll gladly get back to you.

(If anyone is wondering I altered Basic Grey's header to make my own. I LOVE Baic Grey!)

Hugs!
