Sparkling Knives Hanging From Fishing Line

It's Monday again... I hate how this day just sneaks up on me. It's gorgeous outside, and I am stuck in the office. How fucked up is that?

It was gorgeous all weekend, and almost warm enough for me to want to put the AC unit in the living room, but tomorrow it's supposed to be cooler, then only mid- to upper-seventies all week.

At least at the end of this week I have a three day weekend to look forward to.... Yay.

We went to the Saturday Market on Saturday (obviously...) and walked around looking at all the cute little crafty things people were selling. There were also some nice plants (but our flower bed is now so full we had to give away some plants as it is...). We did pick up some bagels from the Croissant & Co booth. They are sooooooo freaking good. They are more than worth the walk (we walk from our house to the market). We also found this unique wind chime made of an old sugar bowl turned upside down with little stainless steel cheese knives as the chimes (I'll post a pic eventually), and every knife handle has a different design. It makes the most interesting sound. They also had some made from spoons and forks, but the knives are what caught my attention.

I am striving to keep a positive and optimistic outlook on everything I cannot control. I am managing fairly well, but there are still those moments where I'd love nothing more than to throw my hands up in frustration (or just throw something at something...), bawl my eyes out, and be done. There are times where I wish Collin and I weren't the responsible people we are, and that we could just pack everything up and leave... Go somewhere new. But I already know it's the same everywhere. I guess I am just craving a true blue VACATION... Sadly, Spaz doesn't travel well... And I would have to give hazard pay to the poor bastard who'd be dumb enough to volunteer and feed her if we ever went on a long vacation. Maybe someday I will just invest in one of those auto feeders and an auto waterer... (Is waterer a word?)

Lately I also seem to have these moments where I just want to lash out and call anyone who gets in my way a flaming douche bag.... Not good feelings to be harboring when shopping at Walmart... Luckily I have been successful at maintaining my composure and hindering my word vomit.

Today I am wearing my happy pink top. If I could (without being considered gross) I would wear this shirt almost everyday. I love this shirt...

Tonight I am going to work out. My goal is to work out at least three nights a week. I figure I might as well make use of the workout DVDs I have that have just been collecting dust for some time. I just need to stick with it... The reward is totally worth it, I have been losing. Slowly, but still losing. That's the way I want to lose the weight, then hopefully it will be easier to maintain, because if we decide to have babies I want to be healthy enough to keep up with them, and set a good example for them to be healthy.

Now that I have pissed away some time, I am going to go do something else....
