(Re) Chic

Hello! Thank you to everyone who helped us move last weekend, I'm still exhausted but I have new photos to show you of our house!   Our new light in the living room...no longer a boob! It's so bright and its amazing He is quicker at painting...but a lot messier than I am.  We've moved in!  Yes this is literally my life right now.  *sigh* Lucie and Lily have not officially been introduced but the smell and |quick site of each other walking through has been enough! 

Wow! April really snuck up on me! I had almost forgotten that it happened today...I probably would have had it not been for going to work.  So of course its time to take a look at March and see what was/was not accomplished.  1. Go to the gym (I really am going to get there eventually) -I went once... 2. Finish unpacking and/or at least make my floor walkable if I can't empty EVERY box. -the floor is definitely walkable...so I think that's a win! 3. Plan my garden and start my seeds (I put down my deposit on my community garden plot!) -I have a tentative garden plan AND all my seeds are started!  On top of that I went one day and cleared my plot out of all the old dead stuff and got it ready to plant as soon as my seedlings are strong enough! 4. Complete my desk corner in the spare bedroom -I would say we're 75% there.  The desk is all set-up but I think I'm going to need some shelves or something for additional space (although the seedlings are living there...

Unfortunately, I'm welcoming March and feeling a little bit like a failure.  I'm skimming through my February goals and they're not looking so great:  I didn't go to the gym (not once) There are still boxes all over the floor of my bedroom You can still hardly see my desk in the spare bedroom So I didn't do so hot there.  But there is internet in my apartment and its 7:30am and I've already cleaned up a mess in my kitchen, make lunch to take to work, drop Josh off at the law school so he can leave for Milwaukee, pack clothes to go home for the weekend, check Facebook, my email, and read a few articles so hopefully that's a sign that this month is going to be more productive!   So let's write some goals for this month that are actually do-able.   1. Go to the gym (I really am going to get there eventually) 2. Finish unpacking and/or at least make my floor walkable if I can't empty EVERY box. 3. Plan my garden and start my seeds (I put down m...

So, I haven't written at all lately, and I want to let you all know that I do miss it. But without the internet its been making it difficult, not to mention all the changes that have been going on in my life.  In the span of a few months I've gotten a new job, a new home, gotten into a new routine, become an aunt for the second time over, and those are just the highlights. I'm happy to be moved back into Columbus, OH where I feel that I belong. I've been permanently hired on at my new job and have signed all of my official paperwork and gotten my own desk...FINALLY.  But now that its January I want to get back into a routine that I skipped a little bit in the frenzy of moving: monthly goals. For a list of my extensive goals to see what I've been and will continue to be working out check out my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.   And now here is what I want to focus on for the month of January:  1. Start my workout habit: go to the gym four times (o...
