It's finally hit me, I think I got my mojo back...ha ha ha. Well, the insatiable urge to be organized. I don't know what's causing it. Maybe my muscles are finally loosening up or maybe it's because I have kept my house perfectly clean for 4 whole days!!!! I know that sounds a little weird, but you have no idea how hard it is to keep these 5 rooms clean. We have 3 dogs and 1 dog that visits during the day.....fur fur fur....2 days after a vacuum it fills right back up again. And I wonder why my allergies are out of control. Then there is the children. Haley will pick up, but then the poor thing watches Ashley undo all her good doings.....then she undoes it further herself. It's a vicious cycle. Getting out for a portion of the day seems helpful too. For both Psyche and cleanliness. When we are away...the dogs just sleep so no harm can be done. So out we go...a little earlier than planned seeing as Ashley is refusing to take a nap today......here we go........

On to Another Day of Searching....Not Sure for What Though
Up and ad am, nice and early......workout, I do have to say again sorry if it's annoying, but I love that Sharon Mann Kickboxing episode. Three days in a row now.....and I can certainly feel it ha ha ha. My hubby was nice enough to give me a little rub last night, but I think he just enjoys inflicting pain on me with my permission...ha ha.
Still have all the fun future decisions to make and still no further to having an answer or a plan. I am running out of time. Why does it seem like time is going by even faster now? Because it's Summer? Because I am enjoying myself?
Here comes August. It's always a good month. Well, actually there are good days that happen in August, but for some reason we never have money in August. Thankfully that won't be a problem this August which makes me sooooo happy. Good days are always good, but money always makes them a little better :-). Might sound shallow, but tell me you don't agree. My anniversary comes up on the 23rd. Five whole years ago we walked down that isle. What a great day. It was sooooo much fun. I can't wait until we renew those vows in another 5 years.
Then comes my birthday, which I usually count down to starting on the 1st of the month (to the 29Th). I used to be ashamed, but now it's funny, I have the honor of sharing my birthday with the King of Weirdoism, Michael Jackson. Oh and John McCain, ho hum. Any who, I don't think I will be counting down this year and I'm not sure there is a need for me to get any older. This birthday will put me in my late twenties. I don't want to be in my late twenties. Now I know anyone I say this to that is older than me is rolling there eyes and thinking I am ridiculous. Maybe I am, but just hear me out. I remember in Jr. High and High School imagining myself as an adult. Here's the thing, I never went past 25? I could never fathom being older than that. It seemed so far away.....but now 2 years past that? If someone asks me my age and I'm not expecting it, I still say 25. Twenty-six just never came out, so now I am supposed to say 27? Ugh!!!!!! What good happens after 25? My car insurance is as low as it gets, I can rent a car in any state, and and then had to choose the 25-35 category on all questionnaires......so yay....why go any further......OK enough about that......let's get a quote out for today....

Quote of the Day
“Whoever says artists can't deal with corporate pressures because they have frail minds, is missing out on the potential the artistic mind has to boost company morale and increase productivity. Most artists would just as soon quit once they become conscious of their exploitation and that is a sign of strength not weakness.”
Martin Dansky quotes (Canadian Actor, Artist and Writer, b.1952)

Getting ready for Monday. The best day of the week to get organized, to get going, and to start the week off right. I have my to do list and it is a mile long. I need to just get up and do it. Easier said than done? Let's hope not. My vacation is over and we are officially unpacked (I do still have more pics coming, I went a tad crazy). Groceries are back in the cabinets and the laundry is well on it's way. The house is mostly clean, just need to wash it all down from top to bottom. Shouldn't take long. We'll see.
The McElwain Family Challenge goes back on track tomorrow, maybe even more hardcore than before. Andy was nice enough (and I spared you from them) to take some pictures of me from behind in my bathing suit and I see where I need to put my efforts for a while.....thanks Hun!! Ha ha....also, I have upped the amount of weight i need to lose to 20lbs.....so here we go!!!
The other exciting thing is my Mother-in-Law wants to lose a few pounds too. She falls in Andy's boat of not knowing how much or how many to eat so she has asked me to come up with a diet plan for her.....project #2 here we come! We shall dub this the MIL Challenge......we'll add the F later....ha ha ha....don't worry, we have a very close relationship (no, not that close, but much closer than most mother-in-law/daughter-in-law deals go). This will start Aug. 1st!
I have a long list of custom orders to get going on...hopefully bang out quite a few tomorrow!!! I'm ready to go!!!!

"Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the "someday I'll" philosophy."
Denis Waitley

This is me today. I think I'm tired, but not really. I just don't think I want to do anything. Relaxing sounds so good. I have a list a mile long, but can't seem to put in on paper or into action. So here I sit....needing a vacation from my vacation......
