Spring cleaning, change and a few face lifts

I HEART change!Love it! Thrive on it and can hear it calling my name! I've got the itch and it's bad! I'm desperately in need of change around here. Every aspect of my life needs a makeover!

The first plan of attack was to freshen up my blogs. Easy enough right! Change a little here, add a little there! My personal blog and Blue Cricket blog were due so they got a little life support first. Check out my Blue Cricket blog. Totally new look and concept...no longer a place to sell my wares but a place to share fun and creative projects and ideas. I'll be adding new posts a few times a week so check back often!

Next item of business is my house! I'm sick of it's decor and want to start all over. Green, Gold and Red have to go! I want more Modern, clean lines and minimal accents. I want pops of color, large photography and graphic shapes. I'm trying to convince Mike to let me sell off nearly everything...it's a hard sell soooo this may take a few " trades" if you know what I mean to get him to hop on board. Oh the things I do!!!!

We are in the throws of a big household project thank goodness! Something to tide me over I guess. We are putting in a patio in the front yard! We had to rip out hedges and dig up roots and depending on the weather tomorrow may actually get it done. I'm on the hunt for some adorable wicker furniture for the space. I can't wait till it's done. I'm ready to retire my ghetto 1985 folding chairs I sit on in the drive way! Pictures to come.

I'm also always talking myself out of chopping my hair! I would love to sport a sassy short look but don't have the balls to actually do it. And Mike likes me blond and with long hair so what can I do...remember I'm trying to get him to sign on to my redecorating concept so I aim to please at this point! I am getting my hair done on Thursday so maybe I'll spice it up with some sexy low lights and a trim...CRAZY I know!

Big yard sale next weekend so I'm on a purging rampage! For real!!! I just want to get as much crap out of here as I can and make a little moola to spend on new crap! Oh the circle of life!

Obsessions

It's nice to know I can be obsessed with good things and not just things like Mint OREOS and "LOOKING" at my stair stepper rather then using it lately!

I'm hooked! I'm addicted! I can't live without it!!!

I gotta get me a bowl of Steel Cut Oats with a chopped banana and a sprinkle of coconut! For almost a month now this has been my breakfast! So yummers and so good for me! I'm trying hard to lose those last 5 lbs...ok. I guess if I were tryinh HARD I'd use my stair stepper more so let me re phrase that..I'm trying things to help me lose those last 5 lbs. like eating a good breakfast and lunch. I'm also addicted to brown rice, steamed veggies and two slices of lean turkey meat for lunch! Is it working... not sure! But I feel better knowing I'm getting better nutrition then not!

Why can't I be obsessed with working out! There are totally those kinds of people out there! Why can't I just wake up and want to run or do sit ups! I'm just not like that! Instead I'm obsessed with thinking about all the things I should be doing to help become more heathy. In this case I don't think just thinking about will get the job done! The big butt and cloths not fitting thing still exists! SIGH!!!

I'll say it... I JUST WANT TO BE THIN LIKE I WAS AGAIN!!!

So maybe if I write it down I'll get more motivated! But really folks... how do you do it with three kids and one being dependant on the boob! I'm afraid to get a gym membership because of how pricy the childcare is and lets face it... in the past my gym membership was just a monthly withdraw for my absentse and ability to always leave one more treadmill available for someone else!

I need to trade in a bad obsession for a good one....

Mint Oreos for Oats...CHECK
Fast food lunch for rice and veggies....CHECK

going to bed late for in bed by 10:15
computer time for work out time
shopping for walking



That should be a good start!
