It's a New Month!

It's currently 9:45 in the PM and I have 15 minutes to squeeze in a post before night-night time.

My new job has been going great. I never do the same thing each day so it's always something new and keeps me on my toes. I support a high-level investment manager and I know NOTHING about stocks and bonds and investments and whatnot. So my goal within the next couple months is to become a lot more familiar with that stuff so I know what the heck my manager is talking about!

June is shaping up to be a busy month for us. Which is fine by me because that means it will go by quick and that's one quick month closer to finally start house hunting!

We're taking a little break on the whole all-mind-consuming baby thing. It becomes exhausting and right now just might not be in His plan for us to become parents just yet.

Other than that, we've just kind of been cruising along with every day life. Spending time with family and friends. Last weekend we headed up to Lake Tahoe for our friends' wedding and it was beautiful. I fully plan on recapping that.

I've taken a little break from blogging just because life hasn't really permitted me to focus on that for a bit. But, I'm feeling the itch and I keep telling myself that I'm going to miss not being able to look back on our mundane (and maybe sometimes exciting and funny) happenings. And it's a plus if anyone even still reads this thing! ;)

It's a new month and I'm looking forward to really getting back into the groove of things! Blog-wise, health-wise and everything else in between.

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day and you enjoy the weekend ahead.

Kisses,

My ABC's

I thought I'd give a little update via the ABC's.

Almost ten months since we got married! It seems like it's been longer; but at the same time it feels like our wedding was just yesterday.

Being late for work is a pretty big hurdle I'm having to overcome. Yes, I am one of those people that is late to most everything. Judge away. ;)

Cats? I am not a fan of them. But given that my MIL has two of them, they've kind of grown on me. Don't tell anyone though. ;)

Dogs on the other hand? I am a fan.

Every day I wake up in the morning for work, I wish I had gone to bed earlier the night before. And every night I still go to bed late. It's a vicious cycle.

Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy is still an obsession of mine.

Good news was received today. Hopefully, I can share in a couple weeks. It's a big relief for us and has us on the right track for our financial future. Vague much!?

Haven't been watching TV at all lately. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of good shows at the moment. :-/

I'm finally getting our Canon lens fixed. It's only taken me over six months. Yikes!

Just now getting over a cough that I've had for the past couple weeks. I think it's brought on a case of laryngitis. My voice? It sounds like a man.

Kevin has been playing lots of golf lately. I'll admit, he does look pretty darn handsome in his golf gear. Kind of turns me on. Ha!

Love having a pool at "home." Tonight when I got home from work it was muggy out, so I decided to take a quick dip in the pool. It was so refreshing!

My friend Maygan is 20 weeks! I can't believe her pregnancy is halfway over. She's coming to visit me next month and I can't wait to see her!

Next six weekends are going to be busy ones. All good things though. Wedding, graduation, Father's Day, friends visiting. Good stuff.

OBSESSED with Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" song. Like, a lot.


Poor Kahlua is starting to show her age. She'll be seven this year and her little body is just getting more frail by the month. She likes to sleep all. the. time now too.

Quality time with my parents over the weekend for their Mother's Day visit was much needed.

Really not feeling like starting laundry. It is my nemesis!

Still no Baby Pino.

This post has taken way too much thought than I originally anticipated when I started it.

Unfortunately, I have yet to begin working out even though I signed up for a gym membership a week and a half ago. In my defense, I've been sick so tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully one in which I take advantage of said membership.

Very much looking forward to getting my hair done next week. I have some red highlights (or are they lowlights?) now, but I'm going to go more red. Rebel, I know.

We're going to our first wedding of the season next weekend! I'm so excited to get away for a bit and the fact that it will be in Lake Tahoe makes it that much better!

X does not mark the spot.

Yesterday while at work, all I could think about was being at home in bed. I love my bed. I wish I could get paid to just lay in bed all day. Wait...that came out wrong. Never mind...

Zank you for taking the time to read this if you've gotten this far.

The End.

Time Suck

1. I started my new job on Tuesday and I absolutely LOVE it! The people here are so nice and fun. Everything just feels really comfortable. I'm so glad it worked out.

2. I started and finished the 50 Shades series in three days. I. Am. Obsessed. I'm not going to tell you to go out and read it if I don't know you well, because...it's graphic (sexually), but I thought the characters were great and it had a good storyline. AP from I Love You More Than Carrots wrote a great review about the trilogy that you should check out if you're interested.

3. I'm designing menus/table numbers and a seating chart for a friend's wedding next month. It's taken me some time, but I love the way everything is turning out and I think my friend is happy with the outcome too. :)

So those have been my time sucks lately. I wish there was more time for blogging, but I try and do what I can, when I can.

XOXO,
