Hepburn and Houndstooth

1. I’m so excited that it’s finally time for Independence Day!  It’s by far my favorite holiday.  I like to don my patriotic colors and celebrate.  We’re doing things a little differently this year, which normally would disappoint me.  But I’m on a new positive kick… at least I’ll be able to enjoy an adult beverage!

2. Saturday, my mom and I are taking Nick to his first movie!  Thomas and Friends Misty Island Rescue is hitting theatres!  Nick has been obsessed with all things Thomas going on 3 years now.  He is going to love this experience!

3. I have been battling ants in our house for nearly two weeks now.  I am beyond frustrated and am at the point where I’d rather camp in the yard.  At least the ants BELONG out there.

4. I am dreaming of a honeymoon with my husband.  We still haven’t had one and we need it really badly right now!  Sure, I’d love to go to Greece, Tahiti, Cabo, or NYC.  However, I’m definitely ready to “settle” for Chicago, St. Louis, anywhere in Florida, or somewhere in Texas.  I mean, seriously… I’d go on a honeymoon in the next town over at this point.

5. I’ve really been missing Orlando something awful this past week.  I kinda feel like I never gave it enough chance, since I lived there only about a year and a half.  We had a lot of tough times while living there and I think if we had gotten back to a good place, I would have been really happy there.  We had just started forming good friendships and becoming active in a church we both loved… then POOF!  We left.  I want to go back, but my husband doesn’t.

6. Again with the Facebook drama?!  This time, someone posted a somewhat political status that I strongly disagreed with.  I politely and intelligently commented with my opinion, only to be deleted from her friend list.  Wow.  And this was a middle-aged woman.  I don’t understand.  Is nobody allowed to disagree with her?

7. For what is certainly not the first time this year, I have come up with a perfect craft idea.  I won’t reveal it just yet, but I think I’m ready to get serious with my Etsy shop and starting making some extra cash!

8. Harper learned a couple of weeks ago how to blow kisses and now he has rounded it out by adding a perfect lip smack.  It is the cutest thing in the world.

9. I am about to start a new blog series that I’m very excited about!  I’m going to tell (true) stories of dating.  I have some good ones and can’t wait to share! Update: Just as quickly as I decided to do this, I decided not to.

10. I am trying to live life a little differently…to always look at the positive side of things and just refuse to be depressed!  It’s working out great.  I feel really liberated!
