A list is in order...

1. I'm feeling pretty good about my apartment garden. The secret-terra cotta pots! I moved most of my plants into terra cotta pots and I wish I would have started on that route and saved my money. I turned my decorative pots into raincatchers. They didn't have drainage holes and that was no good with our crazy weather. My giant pot that I imagined being big and full of vegetation, I've turned into a pseudo compost/extra dirt bin.
2. I'm excited for etsy! I have a semi plan for an update. I have invested in supplies and now I just need to jump in. This is my first go at an etsy update in which I have to invest some of my time & money. Photographs are rather carefree. I wish to begin tomorrow and hopefully to be ready to update by Sunday. Hopefully!
3. I have been doing Shred for 3 days now. The idea came from Kal. I looked at the video a couple times and just decided to go for it. It's a challenge and I'm sore, but I like the system jillian uses, and it's only twenty min. It's over before you know it. It is a wise investment and I recommend it. The bf tried it today. He works out regularly and it kinda kicked his ass!
4. Four day work week!! Only four days until Atlanta! Excited!
5. I had a good weekend. I enjoy the cool rainy afternoons. I like the windows and door open with the wind blowing in. It's peaceful and it chills the puppies out. They sit and watch the rain, and I watch them. It's good times.
6. With doing shred comes trying to eat better.I found vitamins on sale for $2. Also, I stocked up on better groceries and plan to not eat lunch out for the month of June. It's a challenge.
7. Speaking of challenges, I challenge myself to not buy a single piece of clothing or footwear for the rest of the year! I am only allowing myself to acquire clothing by making my own. Sewing clothing has been crossing my mind lately. Also, I splurged this weekend and have come to realize I need to stop the beast! Seven months & not a single article of clothing purchased is my super challenge for myself! Wish me lots of luck and willpower!
8. Our apartments are nestled off the main road with a field and woods to keep us safe and happy. Many don't know our apts exist. With the field and woods comes bunnies, birds, and a one time spotting of a fox. I want the birdies to visit us. I set up a feeder tonight so hopefully they will stop on by. My doggie, Bradley, used to watch birdies with my mom & I think I'm turning into her a lttle bit. Ha.
9. My second mom gave me aloe, a fertilty plant, and a jade cutting. I am excited for plants in my potty!

Nine is a good number and my phones about to die. Goodnight moon. Thank you soldiers.

Friday!

Very original title, eh? But I woke up at 5:15am! Morning time is peaceful, but it's awkward to me. I'm not used to having extra time in the morning, so I wonder around asking myself if I have enough time to do things. It's weird, but I liked it! Starting my weekend on the right foot!

ready

FOR THE WEEKEND! It's midnight and officially Friday! I'm so ready for the weekend to start! I have a new bathing suit and a good attitude. Just ready to enjoy it.

i just listed my very first item for sale on etsy. my shop is not up to par yet, but i put a foot forward and went ahead and listed a print. yay!

Tidy today.

I spent the afternoon tidying up our nest and hanging photos on our walls. Now I need to go print more pics to decorate with!! I have been sitting on 12 Ikea frames that need to be filled and hung. I'm a much happier person when the nest is clean. I put off decorating and such hoping to buy a home, but since that didn't pan out, it's go time in the nesting department.
My closet is tidy. My clothes are all clean. Things look good aside from the black whole catch all of a non-dining dining room!
