Happy St. Patricks Day.

I am spending the majority of my day waiting for a repair man to come and fix my much missed microwave. He better be wearing green or he's going to get pinched...

Enjoy your day and do something green!

Day Brightner...

Our microwave broke last night {3rd time in 3 years} and the repair man can't come until Monday between 8 am - 5 pm...which means he'll probably be here at 5:15 pm. It's throwing me off a little bit, since I use it to warm water for tea and cook my oatmeal in the morning.

Anyway, this video has made up for it because it makes me so happy. I can't even tell you how many times I've watched this. This little boy's british accent melts me...

Sweet Nephew.

Diego on our wedding day getting help with his tie.

My nephew, Diego, is on spring break this week so I jumped at the chance to watch him while he's off from school. He is the sweetest 9 year old boy I've ever known and being with him doesn't make me afraid to have children. He rides in the car with me while I run errands and asks thought provoking questions like, "Is is true that people will die if all they eat is sugar?" and "Is there more than one radio station?" He opens and holds the door for me wherever we go, and he told me to go rest when I told him that my stomach felt weird. I took him to see the movie, College Road Trip yesterday and we giggled through the whole movie together. I can't wait to see who he is when he's older...he's going to melt a lot of hearts.

One Of My Favorites...

Every Monday night at 7 pm, J. and I are glued to channel 5, anxiously waiting to watch our favorite TV show, How I Met Your Mother. It's about a character named Ted telling his children how he met their mother, but the stories involve his 4 other friends and their lives. The writing is so amazing. It literally makes me laugh out loud and J. and I talk about it the whole next week until the next episode. I can't wait for next Monday night...finally the writers strike is over and new episodes again!

Here is just a little taste from a previous episode...and she does turn out to be crazy.

Getting Organized.

In an effort to get more organized, I started on my closet a few weeks ago and here are the next steps:

1. Take a huge garbage bag of clothes to Goodwill, along with a few other bags of various giveaways.


2. Take another bag of nicer clothes to Chrysalis {an abused women's shelter where women are trying to get back on their feet}.


3. Continue weeding out the "junk" and items I don't wear anymore to make room for breathing space in my closet.

I am feeling lighter already...

I Get Hooked Every Time...

I am a Bravo TV junkie and one of my new favorite shows is The Real Housewives of New York City. I was hooked on the previous show with housewives from Orange County, and now with two episodes in, I'm hooked on this one too. It's like watching a completely different life that you know exists, but somehow can't imagine it's real. They all live in Manhattan in fabulous apartments/townhouses and then have even more amazing houses in the Hamptons. I drool over their living spaces and my mind is boggled processing the amount of money these people have. It's fun to watch but looks exhausting.

Here's to a Better Tuesday.

Yesterday was a blur. I woke up late, felt totally uninspired to go work out, went to the store and they were out of everything I needed, my allergies were driving me crazy, the market hit another all time low so J. came home frazzled and grumpy, I missed the Oprah webcast and my house was a mess.

Uggghhh...the whole day was blah! I just wanted to ride away on my bicycle into the sunset.

Today is a new day and it's been wonderful....a pedicure, lunch with mom, good workout, the market is up so J. is happy, took allergy medicine, the webcast is replaying and my house is clean. What a difference a day makes.
