So here it is...the blog I've been thinking about starting FOREVER. I will admit in advance that I will probably be completely dedicated to my new blog-child for a few months and then forget it exists as life gets in the way. We'll see...I'm gonna give it the old college try. What's the purpose of said blog-child you ask? The purpose will be two-fold. 1.) I'd like to have a vehicle for keeping in touch with family and friends. I feel a slight sense of loss since moving away from Georgia and then away from Hanover... and I'd like to fill it with my ramblings and random thoughts. Read or don't read...it's up to you Georgia and NH peeps. 2.) I'm on a craft/healthy living/creative cooking journey and I think my world needs to know about it. I'm obsessed...and I feel this is a good outlet for release. Once again...we'll see where this takes me.
Here is what I've got on my plate for the next few weeks:
1.) The parents are coming for a long-promised visit to Boston next week. Augusto and I are going to walk them all over this beautiful city, feed them until they can't see straight, and then send them back to Georgia content that I'm happy in my new home. I miss my parents every day so I can't wait to spend some good quality time with them.
2.) Augusto and I are signed up for a 5k on Thanksgiving morning. I try not to physically exert myself if at all possible and I'm pretty sure I can't run half a mile without stopping. So yeah...might want to start training for that. This fits into my whole new "healthy living" plan...I just have to get my butt in gear and get started. I got fitted for fancy new running shoes from Marathon Sports...time to break those babies in.
3.) On a crafty note: I bought a laminator. I have no idea why. Amazon had them on serious sale (regularly $80...I snagged it for $18) and I immediately thought, "I NEED one." I don't WHY I need one...I just do. It came in the mail today and I plan on laminating away this weekend. I can't wait. I'm gonna make labels for craft drawers, get started on some crafty-Christmas presents, and re-do some crappy labels I have in my office. I can't wait. Scotch Thermal Laminator...will you be my valentine?
That's all for now. Much love to you all.
holy crap! I would be very dangerous if I had a laminator. Laminators and label makers...would make me a crazy person. You could make some wicked cool bookmarks. Or luggage tags.
ReplyDeleteI want to hear all about the 5K training and see pictures of the before and after run.
Can I request that you show us a picture of the most ridiculous thing that you have laminated? Hopefully it is something like a love letter from Augusto. Oh, please. Please do this for Jen.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Can't wait to see more post.... Don't forget this exist. I have been missing you and if this is what it takes to keep up, DO IT!!! I love you girl! Hope the parents have a great time in Boston. Love you!
