Not All Who Wander Are Lost

LOL  I’m late for my friday fill in’s

1. You do your thing; I do mine and sometimes we end up with the same result.

2. A little of this and a little of that is what’s been on my mind on and off all day.

3. Remember when everything was easy?

4. Makeup, chocolate, and love are three of my favorite obsessions

5. During the last year I have come a long way baby!

6. chocolate puts a smile on my face.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to nothing!, tomorrow my plans include baby k and ikea and Sunday, I want to sleep late and be with my family!

So what have I been up to?  Well G started Middle School this week, and it went really, really well.  He’s moving around the campus and getting to the right class on time, he has met a couple people to sit with at lunch.  He also started soccer this week and somehow or another I ended up being team mom.

So right now I would have thought I was Dr. Laura’s worst nightmare as far as parenting goes, and here I am not only a soccer mom, but the TEAM MOM!

Little miss K who has spent the summer with us for childcare will be going back to her preschool after labor day and then I’ll be aggressively marketing like crazy to fill up my appointment book at work.

In the meantime,  I was part of a great photo shoot for LA Shoot This! last weekend and you can find that work on the un-tangled blog.   It was fun and I had such a good time!

Next weekend the three of us are getting away to the beach for the holiday weekend and I’m really looking forward to the cooler breezes because it was over 110 degrees here for most of the week.

Ok… now that you are all caught up…….

When’s the last time you ran?
Crossing the street (wanted to make it before the light changed)

Do your jeans have rips, tears, and holes in them?
I have no jeans (I’m crying, R is rejoicing)

What are you dreading right now?
A little nervous about G heading off to middle school.  I’m sure he will be fine… but they sure grow up fast.

Do you get the full 8 hours of sleep a night?
Never… not even with sleeping pills

If anyone came to your house on your “lazy days” what would ya’ll do?
Feed them, chit chat and take a nap (Yes you can nap with me)

Who last grabbed your ass?
My husband, of course!

Have you ever been on your school’s track team?
Nope

Sorry folks, it seems I can only ever get around to posting on Fridays.

However, this week is full of news so I’ve got loads to talk about.

Yesterday my youngest sister had her gall bladder out.  Apparently she is doing well enough that she and my mother are still planning on leaving tonight for TX to get her back to UTSA in time for the start of the semester.  I personally think that is CRAZY talk!!!  I’m sorry, I like to be a mega wuss after any surgery and you could not pay me to ride in a bumpy old truck for my first two days of R&R.  Whatever – best of luck on that drive… hope they give you some good pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my own personal news I finally settled on a salon and have spent a couple mornings over there moving in all of my stuff and am looking forward to getting to work (even though it’s only part time for awhile).   The salon is beautiful and amazing.  I have my own private “suite” and will get to truly focus on and pamper each and every guest that sits in my chair.  That means a lot to me, since I am the kind of person who never liked sitting in a a chair with chatty Cathy’s all around me.  Getting your hair done, or a facial, or any other such service is your down time.  You shouldn’t have to spend it listening to some strangers drama!

So if you are local to me, please hit up the un-tangled website and book your appointment online for a special discount for coming in to the new place.
1. Life is a crazy, exciting, roller coaster that leaves me breathless with it’s highs and lows.

2. Some days you just have to remind yourself to JUST keep going.

3. My last text message (or IM) ended in these three words: leaving this evening.

4. Porkchops, bbq corn, & watermelon is what I’m thinking about for dinner sometime soon.

5. On the 1st day of August I was scheming new and exciting ways to hustle up some business.

6. I’m finally feeling a little lively and energetic.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to dinner, tomorrow my plans include my first official client and Sunday, I want to love my honey!!

We were going to take the kids to the drive in tonight, but rumour has it that you need to get there about 1.5-2 hrs early Friday and Saturday nights to make sure you get a spot, and that seems like just too much waiting around for a 2 year old to me.  We might try again one day during the week next week.  I think I’ll just climb behind the tv, hook up the computer and stream something family friendly via netflix.
And easy comforting dinner, popcorn and snacks… a fun movie.  What more can you ask for on a Friday night.  I haven’t even done a ton of stuff this week and I’m pooped out!

1. I’m going crazy (and not slowly either).

2. Every once in awhile you need adventure and daring.

3. Perhaps today you can make it a point to make another person smile.

4. R has a true adventurer’s spirit.

5. Compassion is required to be a true human being.

6. Keep on trucking no matter how difficult.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to family night, tomorrow my plans include just might include the farmer’s market and Sunday, I want to sleep late and chillax!

Yesterday, I did an awesome photo shoot in Torrance.  You can see more about it on my work site at un-tangled.  The girls look gorgeous and they worked their tales off!

Personally, my recovery is going painfully slowly and I’m tired of feeling less than 100%, and my nurses’ patience is also running thin.   Other than that, everything is going ok so I don’t really need to complain. 

The end of summer is slowly creeping up on us.  G has his final swim lessons this week then I need to figure out something fun for him to do to finish off the summer in style.  Then I’ll need to figure out something for the honey and I to do on our own to celebrate our own end of summer!
