Tuesday Tid-Bits


1.  No school today for the elementary children - the schools are being used for voting.  Fingers crossed for the election.  (nope, not touching politics here)

2.  Halloween was fun and simple.  I cook big for the day, but simple stuff in crockpots (chili, sloppy joe, and tacos) and everyone can stop by and eat when they want.  This year was super big and super fun.

3.  It's November and Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  This year we're going to create a new tradition for my family.



4.  Christmas!?  Oh my - it's getting super close.

5.  I got to meet Kat Von D - she's more beautiful in person (didn't think that was possible) and her charming personality really is sincere.  LOVE her!!

6.  Finally cooler weather is here and I'm loving every single minute of it

7.  I can't sing.  Honestly, I swear I'm tone deaf.  I have a horrible voice.



8.  I'm sticking to working out 5-6x a week and I'm really feeling better!!

9.  I'm struggling with my sugar addiction - it's frustrating, but I'm praying about it

10.  I can't believe I'm sharing pictures of myself.

11.  I'm determined to enjoy a joyful and calm holiday season

12.  My husband and I are "dating" again - it's really wonderful  (yup, we're dating each other)

13.  I'm getting ready to take my daughter on her first "college visit" - very difficult

14.  I'm slowly (and cautiously) knocking down my walls of protection that I have built - very scary for me

15.  I should be folding laundry right now, but I really want to sit here and savor my coffee

16.  I'd really rather be sleeping

17.  I want more free time every day

I love reading random lists like this...even writing them makes us realize how much we really have going on in our lives.

How did you like all of Kat's tatoos? I don't mind small ones but she has a zillion!! Is that a bookstore you met her in? Now I need to go make a date with my hubby!!

XO,
Jane

I LOVE seeing pictures of you! Your haircut is adorable! I'm finally catching up on my blog-reading...you have been missed! I can't believe I survived a whole week of being "unplugged"...

Wishing you lots of luck with your running, your fight against sugar, and getting over your hurdles. I admire you in a BIG way, sista-chicka!
