Half way through February already!?

Again, it's been a while since i've posted! I haven't really been doing much on my list to update as often as I used to. I hope that changes soon.

Where to start? I went to the gym 3 days last week I think. I know it's not a lot but one day I had to go to work earlier so I couldn't make it. I can definitely tell that I am building my lungs up. I'm going to cut back on the weight training and do more cardio so that hopefully I can start losing. I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm really dedicated to it.

I started reading "Love the One You're With". It's another one from the same author as before. It's an easy read. Hope to have that done by the end of the week.

Today we went to the Camden Aquarium. It was not as fun as I remembered it. Maybe because i'm older now. There were so many people there. Rude people at that. That's one thing off my list, though!

I also adopted my soldier and got her information today. It's the first time that I got a female! I'll send her package out this week.

I got two photoshoots booked for this week. One Friday morning and one Friday afternoon! One is a maternity and one is a portrait session with some boudior pictures. I'll post what I can afterwards.

By the way, last month I sent Poppop a birthday card and this month I sent one to Angel's grandmother. That's 2/10. I also sent a card to someone this month "Just Because"!

Last Sunday, Angel and I painted the living room. I'll post before and after pictures at the end of the post. I am currently in the middle of painting the dining room, also! I need to have it done by Friday because i'm doing one of the shoots at my house. I hate being seeing my house a mess.

It's been a while....

So, it's been almost a week since i've posted. I was planning on posting sometime this weekend because I was supposed to do some of the things on my list.

First, yesterday I was supposed to go horseback riding with Katie but because of the weather, (ice/rain) we decided against it. The next few Saturday's are going to be really busy for me but hopefully by the end of the month we will go! I'm excited for that.

Friday was the first day that I could actually eat fast food. That month actually went pretty fast! Last night Angel and I went to a pizza place and got a slice of pizza. That would have been considered fast food because they don't come to your table and take your order. I'm looking forward to Salad Works before work one day this week!!

Last week I went to the gym 4 days. I didn't get a chance to go on Friday. Becca and I were supposed to run but I was cleaning my butt off because 1. my house really needed it, and 2. we were having company.

Angel and I decided to paint the living room today so that we can get hardwood floors sometime in the next few weeks. I went yesterday and got the paint. After we finish, i'll put up before and after pictures. We are changing the whole living room around afterwards, too. I'm so ready for the hardwood floors! It's going to make my whole house look different.

Oh yeah, Friday we had girls night!!!!!! I had sooooo much fun! We went to dinner at Doc Magrogan's in West Chester. I'm marking that as one of my new 5 restaurants. My chicken was a little overcooked but the mashed potatoes and vegetables were perfect! It was me, Jenna, Chelsea, Kristilynn, Mandee, & Allison. The girls for the fish bowl drinks. Krisitlynn and I didn't drink but it was funny watching the girls. Allison had a bit too much to drink before we left. Then, we went to Barnaby's and danced. It was such a good time. We all forgot our cameras and I forgot my phone which probably had the best camera of all of ours phones. We did get a few pictures with Allison's phone though. I'm excited to go again!

Also, stillll haven't finished that book. It's awful. I think i'm giving up because it's really stalling me. I should at least have 3 books finished versus 2.

Almost forgot!! I bought a good pen! It's pretty awesome. I didn't take a picture yet, and honestly, I don't feel like walking downstairs to get it but when I put up pictures of the living room, i'll post them. AND...I bought a new pillow last week! It feels so nice to have a new pillow! I'm going to buy Angel one soon, too. His is looking a little...rough!

I want to Antiquing soon and hopefully get some cool props for my photography. In our attic we have 2 finished rooms. I would love to turn on into a studio. It's carpeted now, so I'll maybe have Roy make me so slabs of hardwood that can be changed. I'm brilliant!

Think that's all!

Here are the few pictures that we got from girls night! I need to get a little camera, i'd look like a goof walking around with my good camera in a bar!
