Spring Vacation

First day of spring vacation and I spent it so far at softball practice. Then I came home and dyed the grays. I have it up in a turby twist thing. I think its going to be way too dark. But oh well, at least it won't be gray. I am a bit peeved with my genetics in that area. I'm 25 (soon to be 26, omg) and I should not have to be this concerned about gray hair! Its like having a mid life crisis before I'm even really midlife ( I hope at least).

Right now little Malibu monster is cuddling in my lap and purring. I love that sound. So soothing. I really need to get off my butt and fold some clothes so that I can keep the laundry cycle going. I also need to work on my shower list for the wedding. I need to do some cleaning around here. It is so cluttered. Maybe my goal for this spring break is to de-clutter my house? I won't make a concrete goal so that when procrastination/laziness kicks in, I won't disappoint. Tomorrow Jonathan and I are supposed to go to Middletown to register. We finally will have time together. I feel like the past few weeks we have had no time. Literally, I'll come home, shower, and kiss him goodnight. The other night we were going to relax and watch television together but he ended up falling asleep on the couch and I fell asleep in the recliner. I'm definitely looking forward to having this week off so that I can catch up on sleep, my reading list, my housework, and time with my little family of Jon, Calypso, and Malibu. I took a cute picture of my girls a little ago. They were looooooving the sunshine.
Well, I'm going to get myself moving. We are supposed to go out for dinner tonight. Of course, I have the beginnings of a cold. Why would I think any differently, it is vacation. I get sick EVERY vacation.

wedding dress

I fell in love with my wedding dress all over again........ the fitting went well despite 6 inches needing to be taken off the bottom. I still have to tone up top but there is hope! I didn't gain any since October :-) so it was a successful fitting..... we also purchased my veil and tiara today...... very surreal

Yuck

I am exhausted and my stomach has been killing me all day :(...... I'm in the recliner now just relaxing... I'm about to make some Plantation Mint tea to hopefully settle my stomach. All I want to do is sleep but I know if I take a nap now, I won't sleep tonight. I had a terrible night's sleep last night. I think that a big part of it was the impromptu nap I had yesterday (which sucked anyway). Oh well.

ahhh

Actually sitting down in my house for more than just to say goodnight to Jon. Its been a CRAZY busy week. Between work, play rehearsal, and softball I have been on the go go go!!!! So I'm looking forward to a definite lazy lazy Sunday.

Today some of my new spring athletic wear came in and I'm super excited to get to wear them. This Thursday and Friday it is supposed to be 60's! Hopefully, I will get a chance to take advantage of the weather!! We should probably get outside for practice this week.

I am currently reading a book that one of my friends lent me called "Elsewhere." Its about a teenager who dies from a tragic accident. She was hit by a cab while crossing the street. The book opens up with the dog, Lucy, who was close with the girl, Lizzy, describing the way she was handling the death of her human. It was SO incredibly heartbreaking. I was crying before the book even started. The prologue alone was sad. I never really put into perspective the confusion and hurt that animals could be feeling when losing a loved one. I know how devastated I am when losing a pet. Oscar was the hardest and then Sparky. I never really thought how an animal must feel. Calypso is very attached to me and it makes me consider how it is she would feel if I went before her. That is giving me tears to just think about. Its amazing how valued pets are. I consider them my children. I mean, seriously, we talk to our pets and fulfill their needs as you would a child.

Anyways, the book takes the girl Lizzie and sends her to "Elsewhere" which is where people who die go. Apparently in "Elsewhere," you go back in age till you are back to a baby. When you reach the infant stage, you are sent back to Earth. Its an interesting premise. So Lizzie meets her grandmother who died of breast cancer when Lizzie's mom, Olivia, was pregnant with her. I stopped at the part where Lizzie finds out that she will never reach sixteen because she will now go backwards in time so essentially it will be 31 years before she reaches 15. Definitely an interesting concept........

Well, I really want to see what happens so I'm going to get going and do some reading...... I'm looking forward to a lazy Sunday tomorrow (not the part where I turn the clocks forward though!)

Oh Boy

And so softball season begins tomorrow and my life gets super busy with most days this week filled with extracurricular activities...... Monday and Friday I have a little break but Tuesday-Thursday its go go go from the time I wake straight through 8pm..... though I bowl on Wednesday so that will be a 10pm one. Hopefully by being on the go I will lose some weight since I won't be doing any boredom snacking.

I just have to remember to get rest and spend time with Jonathan. I also have to make a conscious effort to do wedding planning so we don't fall too far behind. We made some good headway this weekend and got some things decided but we have a lot more to do. We did register for Pre Cana classes and created a customized, unique entrance song sequence for the reception.

Well I'm going to call it a night since I have to go pack my bag for tomorrow and lay out clothes so I can get as much sleep as possible since I won't be home till the evening tomorrow.....
