This is how it goes.

I have a routine. It's obnoxious and I'm ready to change it. But, I need some freakin' DISCIPLINE. Where do I come by that? It amazes me how disciplined some people are...I just don't have it. Not with working out, not with watching what I eat, ugh. Maybe I just don't care enough? Who knows? All I know...is this is what happens pretty much every single day.

I set my alarm to wake up early and work out. (No, not 8 am as in the picture below...this is clearly stolen (courtesy of www.pinterest.com) b/c I don't even have an iphone. Anyways, I get enough sleep, so that's not the problem. A lot of mornings, my alarm goes off and I never really go back to sleep but I just love to snooze off and on and snuggle in bed. Have I mentioned I am NOT a morning person? So anyways, alarm goes off....I snooze it a couple times, all while thinking in my head...a few more minutes and then I will get up, work out, have a nice, leisurely morning. Next thing you know...I've snoozed so long I sometimes fall back into a deep sleep and DO NOT WANT TO GET OUT OF BED. I then proceed to talk myself into the fact that I have nothing planned after work, so I will definitely work out then. I mean duh...I'll do it at 6 and then have the rest of the night free.

6 pm rolls around...I'm off work and either EXHAUSTED or something always comes up. Like, happy hour! Or errands...or anything really. And then another day goes by where I don't work out. Hmmmphhh. This has GOT to stop at some point in my life.

Because until it does this is NOT what my scale says to me in the mornings.

Another day, another pound?

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...

Sweet Caroline
