Happy Monday... From a plane!

Writing this from a plane, which my dorky self finds extremely fascinating! Seriously ill never fly sans Internet again!

I've been gone for a week, but life and this blog here should get back to normal By Thursday. Thanks goodness because my diet has fell apart. Into a million little pieces, like that one book Oprah liked so much. And I haven't been sleeping the best, but after 2pm tomorrow I will be a happy little camper wrapping up my first big event of the year.

Also, this Thursday Ill be posting my first saw it, pinned it, did it, baby shower edition! So mosey back! It really turned out great! And I snapped some pictures below.

Ps. Do any of you watch GIRLS? Best show ever, I'm hooked!

Alright, this Texas girl is off to freeze her tush off! Its 34 degrees in the Windy City, and I forgot gloves. EEP.

NYE resolutions - are you checking in?

It is the beginning of the month, my birthday month of course! AND I never posted my New Years resolutions so lets have a little ol' progress report now shall we? I always said I would list them out, but I realized taking a pic. of my chicken scratch is more fun. Oh and I just found this hilarious article that will get you in the mood to look at those resolutions.

Here we're my resolutions, well more "goals" actually written a few days befor NYE. Take a peek into mah journal folks.

If you look closely at the picture above it says lose 17 lbs. That's all post-wedding weight. I've lost 8 lbs out of 17 thanks to the yeast-free Diet. 11 lbs to go. Up next, Work out twice a week for one hour. EPIC FAIL. I don't know why I dread working out so much but I do. Time to get over it.

Now this is where it gets funny. Get to bed by 10:30? Its happened a time or two. Cook two times a week at minimum - HA. The joke was on me. Cooking all the time now. Learn how to cook less processed meals. Another cruel joke. How about NO processed foods on the yeast free diet :)

I still need to sign up for a an inDesign class and take a photography class. I almost signed up for a sewing class, but decided I need to put that on hold for now. Somewhere in there, I had finish decorating house - which included a stripe wall which we completed on Dec. 30th, we got the built-in shelves painted, curtains purchased (Saturday AM) and fabric for cornice boards ordered. We finally nailed stuff (not much) into the walls. A lot for January I'd say.

Build a creative space in the house - this is a favorite. Can't wait to start this one. There were also some significant travel plans hidden there and I am really trying to make that happen.

Anybody else look at their NYE list yet? I'm a NYe junkie so do share!

A Random Weekend in Pictures

I was putzing around with my camera this weekend. Matthew said it's time to drop our projects and take a trip outta town, so out of town we went.

V-day sprucey spruce on a Friday night.

Leaving Houston, Galveston bound!

One of my fave places

Surprise! It's Mardi Gras. Whoops we forgot.

Random Darth Vader siting

Galveston Pleasure Pier

240 feet up we went.

The only thing I could find to eat, Sans the cocktail sauce.

What I thought was a sign that the 49'ers would win. Apparently not.

Over and out. Bye bye Galveston.

Then we came home and cooked a ton of YF items. Like this spinach and artichoke dip. And I watched the game in my robe, holla! But more about my progress (or lack there of) in the diet department later. I also FINALLY blogged my New Years Resolutions. If you're nosey and like to read other people's resolutions, like me, well then you can read them here.
