Here's Your Sign

I put this on my FB page, but I thought I'd put it over here as well.

I went to the pool today on-post and this is the sign that greeted me:

"Pool is closed today until 2pm. Thank you for your patients."

Ahem..how did someone NOT see that misspelling?

I wanted to stick around and ask, but I wasn't waiting 2 hours for the pool to open and decided I'd be snarky about it online instead.

If only I'd had my camera!

One of Those Days

I'm in a funk today. It's one of those days.

You know, the days where nothing attracts your attention and you just want to sit and be mad?

I don't feel like editing pictures or reading or scrapbooking or cleaning house or anything. I HATE days like that.

I even got out of the house today and went to Villa Capra aka The Rotunda, on which Thomas Jefferson based the design of his house Monticello on.



There has been one bright spot to my day. I ordered my sewing machine. I'm really looking forward to learning to sew and hopefully making some cute stuff with it.

This is what I got:



Perhaps some episodes of Designing Women will help my funk!

Monday Musings

1. Last week I booked my trip to London. I'm going for five days, four nights in August. To say I'm excited is an understatement. *squee*

I want a picture with one of these guys:



2. I'm watching a Dr.Phil episode that has Kelly Osbourne as a guest. She's actually making some really good points. To say I'm surprised is an understatement.

3. I'm tired of our gym canceling classes because the A/C is out. Currently it's been a week at the gym without A/C. How is this possible? I was so jazzed to go to spin class today and when I got there it was canceled. So...I did my own spin class instead.

4. I'm in a retail therapy mood, but I know better then to even look at Forever 21 or Old Navy right now. I did find an awesome website though for clothing. www.modcloth.com. Some of the dresses are a little pricier than I usually spend, but they are so cute!

I Just Had to Share

One of my goals this year was to work out 5 days a week and for the first five months I was doing really awesome. Since Sean has been back and after my trips with my family, I haven't been doing as well. I'm lucky if I get to the gym 3 times a week.

So...after glancing at the scale last week and noticing an increase in the number, I vowed to get back to the gym regularly and also tame down my eating.

This is one of my guilty pleasures. I've started eating them ALL.THE.TIME.



They're so delish though that it's hard not to!

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I talked about starting meal planning and now that I'm looking for healthy meals I ran across this website.

Now, I don't necessarily follow Weight Watchers, but I feel like the recipes on this site are healthy and have what I need for a good eating plan. There's even a recipe for a 2 point Mojito. What's not to love?!

Sean should get back later this week so the meal plan won't be put into effect until next week, but I'm thinking it's going to go well.

Tip of the Day

Don't drink wine while scrapbooking...take it from me!

MilSpouse Friday Fill-In

Join in over at Wife of a Sailor!



1.What food reminds you of your spouse?

Steak and baked potatoes. Sean makes this on most Friday nights for our meals. He is a phenomenal cook too!

2.Who would you rather sit next to in a cross-country plane ride: an irritating non-stop talker, or a quiet stare-er?

A quiet stare-er. I'll be honest. I don't feel comfortable chatting with people I don't know, so I like to be left alone.

3.What are your best tips on how to save money?

Ha! I'm not the best person to ask about this. I'm struggling with our budget right now. Get back to me in a few months and maybe I'll have something to say.

4.What is your favorite summer memory?

I have many fond summer memories of inviting friends out to our pool and us having diving and crazy jumping in the pool contests.

5.Do you believe in ghosts?

I'm not sure I believe in ghosts. I do believe there are good and bad spirits out there. Such as angels and demons.
