I Fell Off The Wagon(s)

Several of them. I fell off the diet/exercise wagon a long time ago but it's still dragging me so at least there's some progress there. I still do the 30 Day Shred five days a week  four days a week  when I feel like it.

It's not that I don't want to work out, it's just that I hate having to do my hair. Working out = shower. And even if I put my hair in a topknot and keep it at least a foot from the water at all times, there is no going back after that.

I fell off the blogging wagon just before we went to San Diego. I had dreams of this being a real life blog that gets traffic and has interesting topics but really it's just a higher tech Password Journal. I know what you're thinking, is it really possible to be higher tech than a Password Journal? It's not easy, but it can be done.

I also fell off the wedding planning wagon. I'm back on it now but I took a good 3 month break from really even thinking about wedding stuff. Now I have a ton of overdue stuff on my To-Do list on The Knot (which is part of a totally awesome group of sites, by the way. The Knot, The Nest, The Bump and The Blush are referenced quite often in our house.)

It will all get sorted out when I find a venue but until then there are quite a few things hanging in the air that all hinge on each other. Once I do that though, I should be in the clear. Or at least caught up to where I should be 6 months out from our wedding.

Oh Hey!

I'm alive, I promise. I'm actually trying an orange juice and baking soda facial right now and since I have to let it sit for 20 minutes I thought it was the perfect amount of time to dust my living room write a blog post. We went to San Diego for my brother's graduation from boot camp and it was insane, but that's another post for another day.

We're about to get our taxes back and I'm so excited to do the bathroom with that money. We still need to finish buying tiles and backerboard and all of that but I would LOVE to get it done by my birthday in March. Finding the time for it is really going to be the hardest part. Here's a thrown-together-in-15-minutes mood board for the bathroom:

Ignore that whole orange paint behind the floating shelves, I was too lazy to find more. Anyway, the idea is to have the 12x12 tiles as the floor continued into the shower surround and putting in a 4 inch strip of tile around the top with the glass mosaic. The walls will be Rockport Grey and I plan on getting big fluffy white towels to go with the shiny new bright white curtain. I'm pretty much dying of excitement and I cannot wait.
