Hello, long-lost blog friends! In an effort to get myself somewhat back in the blogging habit, how about some quick takes for an update on our lives?
- I have spent a lot of time lately thinking about this blog and what I want it to be. I have debated whether or not I really want to continue writing. I decided that I do want to keep it up, but I'm not sure in what capacity. There are only so many "we're great; the girls are happy; life is good" posts I can write before I bore even myself. I definitely want to continue writing about and reviewing books, but beyond that, I'm just not sure. Still some thinking to do, obviously.
- On that note, yes, we are all doing just fine these days. We have mostly adjusted to J being home in the evenings. The novelty has not worn off yet. (I get to cook real, full meals to share with another adult, a fact that really does thrill me!) We have been busy with summertime adventures, activities with church and friends, and just life in general.
- Since I wrote about starting Weight Watchers, I have lost almost 10 lbs. Even more than that, I have managed to figure out and stick to an actual exercise plan, and I am truly enjoying it. A couple of pairs of pants already don't fit, and a couple more are getting loose...good thing I wear mostly dresses in the summer. I want to wait another month or two (and hopefully be closer to my goal weight) before splurging on new clothes.
- As I said, we have been pretty busy with general summer fun, including a few short trips here and there, but we are all beginning to count the days until our beach vacation in early September. (Less than six weeks away!) We are staying a full week this time, and Addison is thrilled about that fact. She keeps holding up seven fingers, telling anyone who will listen that we are staying at the beach "a whole seven days!" Her enthusiasm is definitely contagious.
- We are considering adding a new member to our family (NOT A BABY!!)--a dog. Our local animal shelter is being fantastic enough to let us bring a little guy home for a trial run of sorts this weekend. We'll see if we are ready to handle this new addition...it should be an interesting weekend! I will certainly report back on that matter. : )
- I have been reading SO many good things lately; I can't wait to share some of my favorites. Inspiration to blog again soon, right?
How are things with y'all? I miss my blog friends!!
I love actual posts :)
ReplyDeleteAnd tomorrow you can write your highlights post for July - there's another post :)
Did you ever post about the girls' bedroom? There's still another post.
I can give you a ton of "material" - all that to say, don't even think about stopping the blog!
I'm dreaming of going to the beach for 7 days. Our holiday was too short!
