Crushing

So my ex suggested some new music to me a few weeks back.  And even though our relationship was a whirlwind of crazy that had no place in the real world, he gets me when it comes to music. Yep, totally crushing on this chicks voice and the video makes me wanna get old hollywood sexy.

hooky.....

Um, yeah, I don't know if I spelled that right.   Basically, I skipped school.  I've been super sick for about a week now.  Working on the pediatric unit this semester has put my immune system to the test.   I was told I have the flu, I'm convinced it's the plague.  When do little kids start covering their mouth when they cough?  Seriously 'cause until then I'm wearing a hazmat suit to the hospital.

Other than hacking up a lung, it was a pretty good day.  Nothing super exciting.  Spent some time with the boys.   Studied a little (very little).  Long phone call with a far away girlfriend.  All good things.  Oh and I started a diet today, fun times.  I'm not allowed to have carbs (NONE!!) for a week.  So what this means is, anyone within a five mile radius eating a cupcake should probably beware......I will stalk them like a hungry tiger.  

Hope everyones day was wonderful.  

XOXO

being sick + not leaving the house for 5 days = so pale
just add some sparkles and I could be in Twilight 

Let's try this again.....

I think it's about time for me to get back on here and start blogging again.  Consistency has been something that I have always had issues with.   I'll get on a role with writing, then put it to the side and not even think about it for awhile.  I find there is something freeing about being able to write about everything and anything.  But part of me feels like even though I can come on here and say whatever I please, I have still been censoring myself.  Holding back.  When things got a little tough I have pulled back and not blogged about it.  Anyone who knows me knows that isn't my style.  I have a big mouth.  Over the last few weeks, I have found my self facebooking a LOT.  I probably need an outlet, so here is my attempt to blog again.

I would love to do an update post since I last wrote but honestly too much has gone on.   Back in nursing school, this semester consists of delivering babies and sick kiddos.  So far I like it.  Little Gavs is not really so little anymore.  He's a full fledged toddler.  Toddling me to the brink of insanity on a daily basis and I love him for it.  Anyway here's some pictures of what's been going down in our life recently.

Just Eat It

Now that I'm getting into being healthy, I'm really starting to think about what I'm putting into my body.  I know that what I'm eating needs to be better but there is still so much I want need to learn about nutrition.  GMO, organics, micro-nutrients.  It makes my head spin.  I recently watched Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.  I really enjoyed it.  It was crazy to see the changes nutrition can make in a body.  Next on the list of foodumentaries; Food Matters and Food, Inc.  By next shopping trip, I hoped to conquer healthy eating by being armed with some serious food knowledge.

Summer Lovin'

21 days and it's back to school.   We've been trying to enjoy summer as much as possible.  Here's a few pictures to prove it.

Okay, that last one isn't "summer" related, but look at that sweet face.  Gotta love him!!

Somewhere along the lines I lost myself

I can't say exactly when it happened but I just don't really feel like me anymore.  It probably has to do with all the changes going on in my life; both good and bad.  I'm not as comfortable in my skin and by no means do I feel like a princess.  I guess that is why I want to run the disney princess 1/2 marathon so bad.  I want to feel strong and confidant again.  I want to find my inner princess.

A few months ago, if you had asked me if I run, my answer would be only if I was being chased.  Since deciding I wanted to run this race, that has changed.  I run, not far or fast, but I get out there and run a few days a week.  I really am just in the beginning of my training but I will not let anything deter me from my goal.  I am doing this for me and hopefully in the process I will find myself again.

They say you can't run from your problems, I'm gonna prove 'em wrong.  This is my journey.  My chance to see what changes will come.  I embrace it with open arms.

Plus, The race seems pretty damn fun.  Check it out.

                              

It's been real. It's been fun.

Adios Facebook!!

I got to a point where there was very little shit I actually cared about on facebook.  Yes, It is a great way to keep with friends......so is the phone and hanging out (gasp, real social interaction).  Any ways, it's about giving up a crutch and in all honestly a major distraction.

Let's get personal!!

XOXO
