& pray that it's raining on sunday, storming like crazy

It has been raining all weekend and is supposed to rain again on Tuesday. My apartment garden is drowning. There was a nice break this afternoon, and the pups and I adventured to the park. It felt like autumn. It smelled like autumn. It was what we all needed, to get out and stretch our legs, take photos, and enjoy the friendliness people have when they see a little puppy who wants to meet everyone. It was perfect and now we all can get a good night's sleep.

adventure.

my sprout

so i'm staying positive about this one, but i've been thinking about what i am going to do when in the next two months, i have no spending money because we are paying off my car. we are using my next two paychecks to pay that bad boy off and check one bill off our list. exciting, right? well, how do i plan to entertain myself with no cash?
1. walks. i'm a mother of two now. they need lots of exercise.
2. work on my tan. i am the most pale i have been in a really long time.
3. learn to cook new meals.
4. work on crafts using all the supplies i have stashed in the kitchen cabinets.
5. draw more. write more. use my Mr. Composition Notebook more.
6. keep a clean home.
7. practice lots of DDR
8. have a lush apt garden
9. work on building abs
10. take photos. EVERYDAY.(i'll make that my goal)

& be thankful that i will have one less bill to pay and try to make a habit out of not spending. it will be an adventure, but it will be easier to entertain myself at home with pups, a pool, and an apt. garden.

I.spened.alot.of.time.on.the.internet!!!!!!!!!
It is amazing really. But hey, at least i get my money's worth. Right!?
I really love the internet. More so, I love blogs of the crafty/pretty things nature and flickr. To me I find it far more enjoyable than watching tv. Hands down. I am positive I could live without tv and as of late, it really gets on my nerves unless it's one of the few shows, I not so proudly, feel the need to watch. I really find it funny how our nation revolves around it, and how if you don't watch it, you are not in-the-know. Some people are flabergasted by it actually. If they didn't have their precious tv they would be lifeless. I prefer my interneting world. I feel it far more informative and entertaining. The world really is at your fingertips, and I love it.
On another note, the bf and I are trying to pay off our bills and dreaming of buying a home. I can only laugh at the people who question our intentions, and our dream to buy a home, but not to marry quite yet. We dream of a home at the moment. Someone questioned if we would get married when we wanted to have children, but I know I live in the bible belt in a town that has one of three building at every intersection...a bank, a gas station, or a church. Some might say these are the three necessities in this world, but I am not included in that some, and I do not feel I have to be married to have a completely respectable pregnancy/child, nor do I feel that I have to be married to have a home with someone. Maybe our progression is out of order according to our doubters, but eliminating our debt and buying a home seem rather respectable and more like living the American dream, than going into debt to have a wedding we couldn't afford just to get some wedding gift appliances and a piece of paper. To quote a bald man, "it matters what's in your heart." It really bugs me that people want to force a wedding/marriage for sake of their beliefs, but there are always going to be skeptics. So we will dream on, keep paying our bills while pretending to be poor, and try to get the cute little home that we both agree on with a yard for our boys.

I love my dogs.
