It's Friday. I'm off work in 30 minutes which means my vacation starts in 30 mins!!!
Off I go to the far away lands of Indianapolis, Catalina and Mexico! I can't wait. The long await vacation has finally arrived. Unfortunately, this also means that it will come and go all too soon. Sigh. But lets not dwell on the negatives and focus on the positives!
// Life is Good. // Happy Friday to all!

Stitch, Stitch, Stitch.
Project Number 6: Embroidery
On nights Oli works I have been embroidering a lot. I started off tracing or transferring designs that I found but have concluded that it is much faster to free-hand draw everything. This way I'm exercising some level of creativity and the designs end up becoming my own. The process is actually really soothing. Some times designs and ideas come flooding in in multitudes and other times I feel like I'm experiencing a 7 year drought.
Nevertheless I've really enjoyed the almost Leave-It-to-Beaver housewife stereotype I've become. // Husband at work. Wife at home sits down in the living room, after finishing up chores, and turns the tv on and... Stitch, stitch, stitch.

Weight Be Gone
Oli and decided to proactively lose weight.
Like for reals this time!
We've both don't eat bad but we don't eat healthy either. My downfall is soda. // I heart Coke // And I'd have to think Oli's is probably desserts.
Both of us exercise about 3-4 times a week at the gym, but that doesn't seem to be enough. We have both noticeably gained weight. Solution // More gym, Less food.
My aha moment came when I went to the doctor last week and realized that in the last 3 years I have gained about 25lbs! That's ridiculous! What makes the weight gain even worse is not being able to fit into my favorite jeans or shirts.
So this past Tuesday I went to Target with one goal in mind, to buy a scale.
Goodbye soda my old old friend. We have had many good years together and I will visit occasionally but for now this friendship needs to be put on hold until a more opportune time.
Thanks for the memories!
