ENJOY

I am currently in Orlando on a trip for work. Even when I'm only a few hours away, for just a few days, I  miss my little family. They are the simple pleasures of my life that I cherish the most.

Praying with my husband. Being greeted by Gilligan who is so excited to see me he may even pee a little, even when its only been a few hours. Watching a movie and curling up on the couch.

For now I will enjoy my giant empty bed, and relax, like a puppy with his head out the window.

A TRIP TO CAPE KENNEDY

For our first anniversary we decided to visit the Kennedy Space Center. As a Floridian, there are lots of things, semi touristy things, that we just never seem to find the time to do. Visiting NASA is one of them. There was so much to see and do! Jared's a space nut, so we upgraded to a fancier tour, but even if you go with the standard you really get bang for you buck. We had a wiley old tour guide, saw about 5 alligators, felt up on a moon rock, and finally saw Hubble 3D in IMAX. All in all a great day. If you like history, science, thrill rides, bus tours, wild life or dehydrated ice cream, this is the place for you! This is the first outing with my new Canon. I am chomping at the bit to learn manual settings.

THRIFT QUEEN

The other day I asked Bird to define my style in a few words. He picked "Thrift Store". 

If the shoe fits...

UNINTENTIONAL ACHIEVMENTS

As of today, I haven't had a soda pop in 3 weeks (?).* I wasn't a huge soda drinker before, but Jared is FULLY addicted. To the hard stuff, too. He drinks Coca-Cola classic like its going out of style. I thought my  abandonment of the icky diet crap I found myself asking for automatically at every meal would help him get past his own personal carbonated demon. So far this hasn't proved true, but I have faith in you yet Birdy! So

Turning my attention to intentional achievements, I would like to set forth a goal for February. The goal is two fold with one intention: to love and honor my body.

I am setting out to work out every day in February. EVERY DAY. Even on Sundays I can fit in a stroll to the park with my boo dog. In addition to this, I would like to take a self-portrait every day. EVERY DAY. This is not (pure) vanity. I need this. Lately I've been feeling, well attractive wouldn't be the word. I want to feel good and strong and healthy. I want to see the beauty that I know is there, somewhere. Anyway, I've got three and a half more days to launch. Anyone want to join me? I will be mentioning my work out every day on the blog to help keep me motivated.

Ok, and maybe it has a little to do with being one month away from 24, but we won't talk about that just yet.

In other news, I am really really fixated on cutting my long lackluster do nothing hair. Any opinions? I loved this cut I had in 2009, sans the pink.

AMERICA;FREEDOM;WILD LIFE;DATEZ

Occasionally, ok extremely frequently, I am so dang busy that I have no time to blog, and then when I do have a spare second my mind goes blank or I don't have the pictures I wanted to share or blah blah blah.

So that's where I am at currently. UNTIL I remembered Jared and I went on a date a weekish ago. We were going to a movie and had to kill some time, so we popped into Wal-Mart (of course). The rest is history.

yup. Then we went and saw Skyfall.
