Keep Calm and...other stuff

I've noticed lately I feel like I'm trying to focus on SO many things at once it's like I can't devote true time to any of them. I'm trying to:
-Work massive amounts of OT
-in order to meet my financial goals
-yet have enough time to meet my fitness goals (aka running)
-add in some strength training goals
-manage to find time to enjoy my hobbies (scrapbooking, reading)
-see some friends every now and then
-Study for CPCU
-watch Season 2 of True Blood from Netflix (just finished that!)
-watch every episode of NCIS that re-runs on TV because Stacy got me hooked on it when I was in Tennessee
-Read all my favorite blogs about running, saving money, coupons, photography, healthy eating, and if I can squeeze it in celebrity gossip
-while trying to keep a clean house, do stuff with Caylea, the dogs, and of course never miss an episode of the Bachelorette. Whew! How to do it all?

I've been thinking about joining a gym but then I factor in the time to drive to the gym, not to mention I am too cheap right now. So I bought a few new dvds from Amazon. I haven't tried them yet but I'm anxious to give them a shot to throw them in to my workout mix to try something new.
I've heard they are kind of brutal. I'll be honest, I haven't devoted much time at all lately to working out and I'm feeling pretty out of shape. I'm ready to really get back into a routine.

I love this poster and I want to buy it. I'm thinking about signing up for a destination distance run with Stacy for next year. I have my eye on one...I'm kind of excited thinking about it and if her and I decide to do it I think it will be just the motivation I need to really get me going again. Knowing I have to travel for a run will make it even more exciting.

This was the second Sunday in a row where my plan to lay by the pool was not meant to be. Mother nature had other plans with the rain. That's ok because it's been nice doing things around the house. I've had this in my living room for awhile now that I found at Hobby Lobby....I thought it added something nice to the decor.

And I found something similar at Wal-Mart this week and thought it made a nice addition to my bedroom. I recently took Jazzie's crate out because she never sleeps in it anymore. The corner was missing something so this perked it right up. Thought it was nice for a Wal-Mart find.

It's been a long time since I bought any scrapbooking supplies and this week I got an order in the mail from scrapbook.com.

A ton of new paper. Still haven't sorted through it all.

New rose ribbon. Got it in yellow, pink, white, and black. Can't wait to play with this.

A new album

I've had these frames from Creative Memories for well over a year now. I've been waiting to do anything with them because I want them to look really nice. I'm thinking some of my new supplies will be perfect.

Got it in brown and distressd white. Somehow I had hoped ordering the supplies would magically make me have more time in the day to devote to scrapbooking. Funny, that hasn't happened yet.

I had a craving for ice cream today, ran up to the store planning to buy some Breyer's vanilla. I spotted this cherry vanilla instead. Cherry vanilla has always been my favorite flavor. I don't like it when there is any chocolate in it though. I saw this was no sugar added and thought that was a bonus so picked this up instead. Oh my goodness. Delicious.

Satisfied my craving perfectly. I think it was always my favorite flavor because it is like eating a bowl full of the tops of ice cream sundae's. The cherry on a sundae was always my fave part!

My car's check engine light is on. Boo! I just had a problem with it last month and it feels like it is doing the same thing. So in the shop it goes tomorrow. Here's hoping it doesn't cost too much. I'm keeping calm. And eating ice cream.
