On the Up and Up

Isn’t it amazing how time just keeps marching on and life just moves forward? I can’t believe how fast time goes and how much life changes, without really realizing it in the day to day.

• Life is still great.
• My Resolutions are still in progress.
• I’ve found a new love – Zumba. Who knew working out could be so much fun? I also found the most amazing Zumba instructor, thanks to my dear friend Eva. I think I have a bit of a girl crush on her… not gonna lie. Hopefully I can make it to many more of her classes.
• Reading is my passion for the moment. I have read the fabulous Jane Eyre (and am anxiously awaiting the March 11th premiere of the movie), indulged in the first two Harry Potter’s and hope get to read them all (I don’t know why I haven’t read them until now), and revisited my favorite girl Anne (with an “e” of course) – is there any possible way not to love Anne’s imagination of way of speaking? I wish I spoke as she did and saw the world as she did. Up on my list are many more “classics” they have scarily been on my reading lists in the past, but hope to become more well versed with them.
• I’ve done surprisingly well with the working out aspect of my weight loss goal. I’ve been working out on average 5 times a week, and have even got so lucky to get a 6th one in (this is big for me).
• The eating part? Not going so well, I try so hard and do pretty good throughout the day, but come dinner time and the dreadful munchies around 9:00, most of my will power is gone out of me and it’s a fight. Ugh.
• This arctic weather that has decided to hunker down on us today – not a fan. In fact it makes me want to call in sick, crawl in bed with 5 blankets, and escape in a book and pretend that it isn’t negative-bazillion degrees outside (which, by the way, makes going to the gym at 6:00 that much more painful!).
• Drama-free-zone – this has become my life, which I love! Since becoming married, it seems like drama has taken a vacation. Sure moments arise, but in general I don’t face much of it anymore. I don’t know if it is the decreasing interaction with family or really anyone outside the two of us, but it’s kind of nice. I love our families dearly, but not knowing ALL the details of life is kind of nice.
• With that being said – I do miss the gossip mill. Guilty.
• Having Cameron being in a Home Design and Structure class has me filled with all sorts of dreams. Couple that with the incessant HGTV we watch and I could fill my hours an days scouring the Internet for the home update/design/floor plan of the moment. It’s probably a good thing we are “stuck” in our house for another year and a half, I would have moved 10 times already this year (if I could buy every house I liked).
• Work is not on the up and up. Thank heavens I’m not a man who has to think of working for the rest of my life. Ugh! Some days I want to get pregnant just so I don’t have to come to work anymore.
• On the flip side, kids are not in our immediate future. I’m rather opposed to the little things right now. But before you all stress too much, it will happen someday and I’m sure I love them so much that we have 10. But that “someday” is not today…
• What’s new? Nothing. I always hated responding to people asking me what’s new with “nothing.” But I rather enjoy my “nothing new” life. I love that my evenings are filled with my favorite nothingness – doing nothing with Cam.
• I love Cameron.

I didn’t realize this post was going to basically be word vomit, but there you go.
