Mi Bella Vida

This morning I woke up with a sleepy motivation to get to the gym before I started my Sunday but things don’t always happen the way you want it to.I started the morning with a cup of tea and half a protein bar from Clif.

For some reason the bar did not sit well in my tummy so we are saving the gym for later in the day… maybe.

So what is a girl to do? Online shopping -er- browsing, of course!!! There is so much that I want to buy!!!!Check out this awesome skirt from Banana Republic! I love it!! The leggings and shoes as well. Not much of a skirt or dress kind of girl but I’m learning to like them. Especially if that look like that! It is not too done up so it is definitely something I could see myself wearing to work or out on the weekend.

Shoes. Yum. I love shoes. I have been trying to find the perfect brown boots but I never have such luck. I have little feet and very skinny ankles so nothing ever fits correctly. These boots are gorgeous! Not the color that I want though but they are the exact style that I’m looking for. They are very similar to the black boots that I got in Spain. Unfortunately, I didn’t find brown ones but if I did, I would have totally gotten them too.I’m still considering this color but I really want Cognac colored boots.

One of my favorite stores in the whole world in Anthropologie. I seriously lust over this store. Their clothes are awesome! I want them to dress me up everyday for work! The stuff for the home is amazingly cute! I want to decorate my house with all their stuff. I’m slowly on my way because we have bought stuff for the house from there. I get their catalog and I just want to buy everything, this jacket in particular. I love everything about this jacket! The color, the belt, the ruffles and the collar. Such a feminine jacket. I could see myself feeling very pretty in it.

Last but not least, the pencil skirt. This skirt looks so clean and professional.

I could definitely use it for the office and look pro in it.This skirt says “I run this show” to me and I want it. I ended up not going to the gym today and I stayed home to be productive. We got our room painted!! The color is perfect It was exactly what I imagined and I can’t wait for everything to start coming together! I CANNOT wait for the closet! We don’t have much closet space in the bedrooms and both of us can’t share a closet. For a guy, Chris has lots of clothes. I’m pretty sure he has more than me. We are getting a custom made closet from IKEA and it is going to be absolutely perfect

Love GA!! We had a terrible (according to GA standards) snow storm and the city locked down for 2 days. It all started Sunday night when it began to sleet and then snow. Monday we woke up to a beautiful blanket of snow and a canceled work day I went to bed early on Sunday on the chance that the snow wouldn’t stick and I would have to go to work. I was up at 6:30 making calls trying to figure out if we had work or not. It took about 30 mins before it was verified that work was closed. So what is a girl to do when work has been canceled? Every one else probably slept in but I cleaned. I wasn’t hardcore because I did have some nice lazy moments throughout the day. I did most of my laundry, cleaned most of the house and watched 2 movies. Over all it was a great day.

Today was another great snow day. I slept in finished up the laundry and finished cleaning the house.

I finally finished cleaning out my closet. I had done it before but never finished. Today I got rid of 2 bags worth of clothes and this does not include the bag I had previously done, that bag is in the attic. So glad to get these 2 bags worth of clothes out of my closet. Now I can make room for new clothes!!

I also got some paint up! Hopefully we can paint the master bedroom this weekend

According to the text that is going around the office, we are open tomorrow at 10. That is all up in the air still but I’m kind of hoping we are still closed tomorrow. I want to spend the day reading since my house is super clean :)  I really want the day off because C has the day off and it will be very nice to hang out again.

Day 1555- I am still a captive of Mr. Kelner. he keeps me here doing chores but one day i will escape. i think the mailman saw me today and he might be willing to help in exchange for some cookies.

i kid, i kid…but we have been together for that many days!!!!

Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday, I did

The new year has started and I’m sure everyone has set their goals for 2011.  I love the start of the new year, I’ve gotten a slow start this year, because there is so much excitement about getting organized and trying to get your life together for a few months. I always try to do a better job with my to do list and get everything done in a timely manner. I always  try to do a better job about getting my chores around the house done but sometimes I’m just to lazy or I forget about the dry cleaning for a weeks. oopppsss!! I have so many goals for the new year but this slow start has me feeling a little down, maybe i can catch up this weekend.

Goals for 2011

1. stop popping my knuckles- i have been doing this since i was 7 years and it is addicting!

2. maintain my weight loss- i have worked soo hard to get where i am and i would punch myself in the face if i slacked off

3. redo our master bedroom- we have put this off for about 6 months now and we really need to get a jump on it.

4. pay off my credit card- i have always been super close to paying it off but then something happens and i have to use it. i have given it to chris to hide so that i can’t use it.

5. SAVE, SAVE, SAVE- i want to buy a new car so i need to be saving my pennies

6. plan my wedding- i’m the biggest slacker, period. i love planning for other people but planning my own is soo overwhelming

7. keep up with my chores - a tidy room makes for a happy husband. i don’t always put my clothes and sometimes just leave them around the bedroom and that is hubby’s pet peeve. i just need to do a better job of cleaning up after myself and not leave it all for wkend cleaning.

8. Not buy a purse- this is probably going to be the BIGGEST challenge ever! this will be harder than maintaining my weight. i have a huge addiction - ADDICTION- to purses and I really can’t help myself. I have done a really good job and got down the number of purses I used to have. I had about 40 something purses and now i have about 10.

9. Be healthy- i don’t just mean it in regards to eating well and exercising but my medical health. I always do my best not to go to the dr and that is not a good thing. My family doesn’t have a good medical history and i really need to take care of myself.

10. Read- my goal is to read 1 book a month. right now that is all i have time for but i would love to up that number in the coming years.

11. keep up with this blog- i fail but i’m trying.
