I really don't feel like doing anything today. But I have a house to be cleaned, and a prescription to pick up (since I put in the order 2 weeks ago and still haven't gone over there).
I checked out a new church yesterday and loved it. Can't wait for next week.
We went to Dan and Letti's for a goodbye/cleaning out the fridge dinner. Ruby spiked my drinks. I refuse to ever have alcohol again in my life.
Other than that, pretty uneventful weekend.

note to self: the cheeseburger is not that great. Stick with the tuna melt...
I finally made it to the Dole Plantation. We were only there long enough to eat the pineapple sorbet and browse the gift shop though, so hopefully someday we will go again so I can ride the Pineapple Express and tour the maze.
Today was actually pretty boring. We did the pineapple thing, and then went to Jameson's for lunch (note to self: the cheeseburger is not that great. Stick with the tuna melt). After that we just went home so Brian could continue his Call of Duty 4 obsession, and I could...well...I had nothing to do.
Since I've been in housewife mode, everything is always done. It's a nice feeling to not have anything to worry about, but it would feel better if I had more to do. I think I might make beach trips a daily thing.
In other news, I'm down to a whopping 122lbs. Thank God. I've been holding off on fast food since coming back from CA (or at least as far as I can remember). Today I almost gave in and had Taco Bell while Brian was at the gym. But I decided to vacuum instead, and it held off my craving until he came home. I didn't feel like cooking tonight, so I'm eating breakfast for dinner. It feels a lot better than 2 Baja Beef Chalupas (although those taste better than Honey Nut Cheerios and a blueberry bagel).
I started jogging "around the block" (in quotes because my version of around the block differs from Brian's), and I feel really good about myself. I've decided there will always be areas that I can improve on, but life would be so much less interesting if I was perfect.

I feel a need to find something new for people to celebrate...
Every time I am in the mood to blog and I have a moment, it is quickly interrupted. I swear I've been at this like 3 times today at least. But Fluffy wanted to bark at strangers and wake Bella up from her nap. Luckily we had a busy day today, so she is still pretty tired and went back to sleep almost as fast as she woke up.
This has actually been a pretty busy week. I was worried about not getting anything done as far as cleaning/unpacking into this new abode. But I kicked my butt into gear and got the whole place clean (with the exception of Bella's room which is being used as temporary storage until the supposed garage sale). It's been spotless for close to a week now, which I think is a record by some standard.
Ruby graduated, so we attended her pinning ceremony and graduation this week. It reaffirmed my longing to go to school. I don't know if it's so much my thirst for knowledge as it is my desire to accomplish something. And yes I know I am married and I have a baby and I have been able to travel. I have accomplished everything I wanted to do despite all of the negative feedback I received in the beginning.
But now that the dust has settled and everyone is proud of me, I feel a need to find something new for people to celebrate. And I don't want it to be easy. I want it to be something that I actually have to work for, as I don't feel I ever got that chance. Most of the things I have wanted in my life have just been handed to me.
But enough of that.
Another accomplishment was celebrated today. Brian has been promoted to Staff Sergeant. He gave a nice speech thanking me for my part in supporting him (read: taking care of that "crying all the time baby" while he worked 12hr shifts), and said he was doing everything for me and Bella so we could have a good life. And life is good.
After the promotion ceremony we went to Bellow's. It was a windy/chilly beach day but I really loved being there. And the drive over and back was beautiful. Mountains all over, some with visible waterfalls. It made me appreciate Hawaii so much more.

Yesterday I got bored so I drove down to the beach with Bella. We put our feet in the water and just sat out for a bit. I'm so thankful that I can go to the beach in the middle of winter.
