Pinterest Challenge

Has anyone seen the Pinterest Challenge?  I have started to see more and more people taking the challenge. Basically what it is, is that you pick something from Pinterest to do every day for a month- then you can have a "Done" board instead of all of the "Things I will do someday" pins. I am a little tempted to try it. Has anyone tried it? Does it take over your life? Maybe with the upcoming shower it would be a great idea, but that would mean I would have to get really ambitious... seems like a lot of work??? I will have to some checking on my boards and see if there are things I could do without much effort (that's the spirit) :)

Great Idea

I say this over and over again, but seriously what on earth did I do before pinterest? How did I get any good ideas. I saw this idea on there today called a "smash book" Its basically those pages we use to make with cut outs from our favorite magazines and collages of all of our favorite things- but updated and new. My nieces still love to take my old magazines and make pages of things they love. One girl had an example of one that she had made. One thing she did that I loved was, she made a page that just said "Currently" at the top and then she answered 9 things about what she was doing currently. I LOVE THAT! How fun to look back and see what you were in to, what you were wearing and what you were listening to! Genius. So, here's my "Currently" page

Currently....

Listening- To Pandora, my favorite station is a country one or Boyce Avenue. Chill, but still up beat... and my favorite album- H.A.M... Its Jay-Z and Kanye West. I seriously love it. ( I am pretty gangster at heart :) haha)

Eating: So much fruit. I have been eating cantaloupe today and its is delightful. I wish I was eating  the peanut butter M&M's Sam bought me- but I am currently resisting that.... for now.

Drinking- Water, but I can hardly wait until I can go get my daily diet Pepsi from Swig, or maybe a diet Mt. Dew with mango??? Hmmm, either way it will taste amazing.

Wearing- a pencil skirt and blouse. (Shocking, I know. Like I don't wear a pencil skirt 4 days a week)
 P.S. I am dying over how much I love this necklace I have on... perfect for all the greens and blues I wear. ... Oh and I dropped my iron and broke it- thus the wrinkles in my shirt... I promise to buy a new one. How embarrassing!

Feeling: A little tired. I jogged yesterday with Jand and we were out a little late. Also, happy.

Weather: Hot as HELL. I think its 104 today, but gorgeous. I know I will miss this beautiful summer weather in January.

Wanting: To go shopping and get some bright yellow skinnies to wear with my new bright yellow necklace. Also, some good boots... and maybe a Durango's Salad. Yum.

Thinking: About my brilliant top secret idea- Lets just say if it works out, it could be DREAMY!

Enjoying: Acoustic music, and blogging.

Lately

I feel like my life lately is running, what I am wearing, and sleeping because of all the running. A little lame, but I kind of like things like that. On Saturday we ran our long run. We thought we were doing 16, but after we finished my friend clocked it again and it was more like 17 miles-- we'll take either one. I can feel myself SLOWLY starting to get back into the swing of things. I really has been such a LONG process. I feel like I am constantly whining about how long it is taking me to get back into shape- I think its just a little frustrating and mentally consuming- so I apologize for all the poor me posts... It is getting better. I wore some shorts on our run and they rubbed on my legs SO bad- I literally have some of the BIGGEST scabs I have ever had. Its pretty gross, and uncomfortable. Lesson learned- no more shorts without longer spandex. I always have such a hard time getting up to run on Saturday morning- 4:00am comes pretty freaking fast, but I always feel so much better if I get up and go. I am going to try to go to the gym one morning a week. I have tried in the past to do this- but I always try to get myself to go a bunch of times during the week and I just cannot convince myself to go. So, one day a week will hopefully be more doable.

This weekend McKall came and stayed at our house. She is such a doll. Gator LOVED having her there and really would not leave her along. He just could not get close enough to her. She was a good sport with him and gave him attention. We love that sweet girl. She is really so awesome, I hope everyone around realizes just how great she is. I am so lucky to be her aunt.

This past week Sam had a little "incident" at work. He shot himself in the hand with a nail gun. He pulled the nail out himself (I would have died if I saw that). His hand has been pretty sore and SWOLLEN. He is been in quite a bit of pain. We said that if it doesn't start getting a lot better by today he needs to go to the DR and have an x-ray. Poor guy.

I have been having such a hard time figuring out what to wear lately. I feel so indecisive. I literally change 5 times every morning for the past 5 mornings. Its awful- and so messy. This no shopping thing has been freaking me out more than I thought. I need to get a grip. Here's what I am wearing today:
