The first task is to take a picture of you immediately. No time for primping. Just take out a camera, snap a pic, download it, and post. Luckily I always carry my camera in my purse, so here it goes…
8 Things I am Looking Forward To
1) Summertime – I just keep singing ‘summer, summer, summertime’ in my head every time I look out and see the sun shining. It’s been beautiful and I’m hoping this weather sticks around.
2) Reaching my goal weight – After starting my desk job after college I put on 30 pounds within two years. That’s on top of the 15 I gained during my very stressful senior year of college. I was able to lose 35 pounds in a year with and have maintained that for past two years. But I am ready to push myself beyond my comfort zone to drop the last 10 pounds.
3) Taking more pictures – I am typically a very camera shy individual. There are very few pictures taken of me in my adult life that I truly like. But I realized, the more pictures you take, the more likely you are to have one you like. Thus, I am shedding my inhibitions and am going to start taking more pictures of myself…along with lots of other stuff!
4) My hair is growing out – Two years ago (in May), I took the leap and chopped my hair off into a very short a-line bob. I loved it! Everyone loved it! I actually inspired my own hair dresser and best friend to chop theirs off too! I continued to cut it and keep it pretty short until fall of last year. Then I decided I wanted to let it grow. I have to admit, it feels like it didn’t grow at all over the winter. But with the spring sun, I swear my hair is growing more every day! I love it and I am looking forward to finally have my hair past my shoulders and to be able to pull it up again!
5) For work to slow down…a bit – I know during this economic crisis I should be happy to have a job, let alone a job that looks like it’s going to be around for a while. But sometimes I can’t help but feel disgruntled while working late and the weekends and not getting to do all of the living that I would like to be doing. I would like it if I could go back to just working my 40 hours and not be so damn swamped.
6) My best friend’s new baby – All those who know me know that I am not a baby person. In fact, I have never changed a diaper in my life and I will be happy never having to do so. However, I am very happy for my best friend who is now pregnant with her second child. She is an amazing mother and I enjoy watching her and being involved in their growth. I get to live vicariously through her!
7) Washing my car! – Too many people, this may sound weird, but I love washing my car. My car is very sexy and looks awesome after I wash, wax, and shine the wheels and tires. My idea of a perfect Saturday or Sunday is getting up early and spending the first 4-6 hours cleaning cars with Steve. The weather is finally getting nice enough and pretty soon, we are going to do spring cleaning on our babies and I am going to love it. I’ll post pics!
8) Dinner tonight – We are grilling up some Korean ribs and I love them!
