Hello! If you are in my great state, then, it's "welcome back"--as in, to school. Yep, that's right. Most schools started today (or tomorrow) which means that it is moving onto fall. Can you believe it? I was just in Galveston! Where does the time go?
Well, I won't waste any of yours....Excuse me as I muse away...
1. Did I mention school started? Which means a.) the husband is back at school, b.) it's a pain to get out of house in the morning, as I live directly across the street from an elementary school--which, by the way, if you are dropping your kiddos off at school, it is not appropriate to park in the alley (!)--no, no. Some of us have to use the alley to get out of our garage. And were trapped. And annoyed. And I swear there's like 10 million more kids at that school today.
2. I got to work at 7:50. And for no other reason than I desperately wanted a parking space and since my ID still doesn't work--and I still can't park in any of the garages on campus.
3. And I can't stand in line to solve the problem because all 1,200 new students decided to wait until today to get their parking permits.
4. Despite what it may seem like, I really do love where I work and what I do. The summer just spoils the heck out of a person!
5. I have every belief that running while watching The Food Network makes the miles go by quicker. It would have been better if I was watching Giada, but, you know, I take what I can get.
6. One of my mom's goals (I found the list last night) was to swim in the Isle of Capri--I am on it!
7. We're determined to go to Greece and Italy next year.
8. We had our first neighborhood dispute last night. We contacted our wonderful legal counsel. Although, I'm still a little worried that we might lose some $$ in the whole ordeal. Prayers are welcome.
9. It seems as if the bug infestation is over (::crosses fingers:: ::knocks on wood::). Let's hope!
10. The puppies were so happy to see their DadPup when he got home on Saturday. So was I.
11. I ran 3.5 miles on Saturday (baby steps, remember, baby steps....)
12. And I think my tummy is starting to shrink! (::fingers crossed::)
13. Haven't heard from The House Guests. And I'd like to give them a piece of my mind. Would it be totally inappropriate to call House Guest B's mother and tell her the situation? (wait, don't answer that)
14. Target has the best home accessory things. Seriously. Too bad I get a little carried away. I really want to get our house "final" before the family comes out for a visit. I want it to look like a home. A grown up home. Not like our rental house which looked like "hi, we know we're moving in 12-24 months, so, we're not really going to settle in". Yeah, none of that.
15. I'm hoping this weekend to make a HomeGoods and Ikea run. Very excited!
16. Worked on the book the other night. Very excited.
17. Things are better (except for the whole #8 situation).
Well all, I hope you have a fantastic Monday. If your kiddos are starting school, I wish them all good luck (and ple ase don't park in people's alleys) and the same to you as I'm sure it's hard to have the little ones off to school. Hope everything is fabulous wherever you are!
xoxo,
SP

Oooo I promise I will never park in alley ways next year! :) I can't believe my baby will be starting kindergarten...I may cry!
Have a great Monday Ally! WTG on the running!
What is your job? I've been wondering for a while now...
Yeah, second that- what's the job you love to do?!
I hope the whole dispute issue gets resolved "nicely"...good luck!
good luck on the dispute. Hope it's something that will work out well for everyone.
I think if I watched food network while exercising, I would negate all that calorie burning as soon as the workout was done.
good job on the 3.5 miles!! I did 11 push ups today--the hard ones, not the modiefied ones. (not in a row though, I had to do 2 and then take a break, do 2, take a break etc etc.
Good luck on the dispute! Those things are so rough.
Wow, that's awesome that one of your mom's goals was to swim in the Isle of Capri! That's one thing I would also LOVE to do! And you definitely do need to go to Greece and Italy! I went in 2002 and LOVED every second of it. Traveling there will change your life!!!
#5 cracks me up! my husband thinks Giada is too skinny and looks like a bobble head! {ha ha}
Capri - how fab!! Good luck with the dispute.
so much has happened! i'm so sorry about the neighborhood fight... that's not fun! i hope you make it to italy and greece, so much fun. & i'll have to try watching the food network... anything to make those miles fly by.
