Why hello. This weather (lots of sun, no breeze, air condition lagging…) causes me to feel sleepy and lethargic. Wouldn’t it be more fun to be by a pool than at work? July is slipping by so quickly, soon it will be time for moving, birthday and finally MEXICO with my sweetheart!

Lately, because of the diet, I’ve been thinking more about food and how much I appreciate it. How much of an event it can be and how I occasionally take it for granted or abuse it. Eating is such an adventure. There are so many natural fruits, veggies, spices to choose from and combine, it’s a shame when we waste our time on processed foods. Although, french fries are sometimes the ONLY thing I want. When the diet concludes (two more weeks!) I am going to make a conscious effort to take more care about what I put in my body. It’s always a worthwhile pursuit. Don’t you agree?
Check it out! One of my favorite healthy/foodie blogs is One Smart Brownie by the lovely & accomplished Carolyn Brown.
Twas a good weekend. My life change that I alluded to a couple of weeks ago was actually just a diet and a move. I sat through a wedding and didn’t eat a thing (cake is my weakness). I’ve lost 10lbs! I found a new house right downtown that is accepting of my puppies, plus it’s adorable.
I’m going to see Inception tonight. My beau and I are probably going to go on vacation. I’m feeling super lucky and excited. Hope your week started off real nice.
Kinda want balayage highlights. Thoughts?
This weekend, as wonderful as it was, was not enough to fully energize me for this week of work, changes, responsibilities.
Today, I’m listening to NPR’s best songs of 2010 thus far…
daydreaming about a “real” vacation, maybe to here?

Plans fell through/changed and I couldn’t be happier. In a mere 5 hours I will be settling into a four day sun-drenched weekend. I am thrilled to be at home with my bests, my beau and my puppies for 4 days that have a glittering forecast of mid-eighties and plenty of sun.
I’m banking on sitting by the pool, taking the Bird to the farmer’s market, cruising around the lake, staying out and sleeping in, walking in the park and possibly getting my dance on!
The snuggle puppy
happy weekend!
