Moving and Motivation

We're moving.  To Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 

There.  Now you can't say I never mentioned it.  

Anyway, so naturally I've been cleaning out the apartment in preparation for our move on Monday (YIKES!) and I found some interesting items.  One of which is my old dino-camera dating back to I believe 2007.  

After ten minutes of trying to get the thing to turn on, what did I find?  

My P90X pictures from two years ago (I CANNOT belive it's been that long).  
Let me just say this:

They totally blew my mind.  

Mind you, I've been pregnant and gained over 50 pounds since then, so the memory of my pre-pregnancy body is somewhat skewed.  I had no idea  I looked like this...


And this.


There are more, but probably not super appropriate for the internets.  Crazy, huh?

Anywho, this is my new motivation.

Until next time! If there is a next time...

Pinterest Fail

What?  I'm blogging?  Someone pinch me.  

So, yes.  I have returned.  Truly, it has crossed my mind in the last...oh...year,  but I don't feel I have much to contribute to this cyber world.  Not especially talented, insightful, or crafty.  And, Mother knows if I think too hard my brain will seize, so articulate thoughts and careful writing is out of the question.

Life on this side of the computer screen is all about baby Max, making sure I get a workout in, and wondering when I'll shower next.  Plus work in between.  Luckily, I can work in the jamjams in between nursings, dirty diapers that smell like overly buttered movie popcorn, and spit up.  

Have I mentioned how lucky I am to be able to work from home?  So stinking blessed.  

Anywho...

There is one thing I'm sure I do no matter how packed my day is.  





I know, right?  My favs are hair and baking.  We've all seen those hair tutorials that make it look WAY easy to achieve a look that looks like it should take forever.  

Here is one of them.  This photo is what one pinner on Pinterest promises your hair will look like if you simply braid sections of your hair and then flat iron them.  Soooo easy!  Why don't I always style my hair like this?






Oh.  Because this is what really happens.



Ahh. My first pinterest fail.  

Disclaimer**  My mouth doesn't always look that odd.  On top of the weirdo face I'm making, I've got whitening trays in.  

Until next time!  If there is a next time...
