I am officially on vacation! WOO!
Well, for the next four days anyway. It's not a huge break, but it's something and I'm totally willing to take that right now. Collin unexpectedly got the time off as well. So now I am trying to convince him that we should take a trip to Yellowstone tomorrow. He's pretty lukewarm on the idea -- he's willing to subject himself to it, because he knows I want to go, but a day in Yellowstone is a day spent almost entirely in the car and I don't want to be cooped up with him like that if he doesn't want to be there.
So we'll probably just stay home instead. And if we do, then I've got big plans to fertilize the garden, go for a bike ride, and then read on the swing in the backyard. Either way, I intend to spend some time outside for once. I'm tired of being cooped up in the office or at home as the summer passes me by.
I am also trying to shave off a couple of pounds that I put on somewhere in the last couple of weeks. (Could have been a lot of things: the entire loaf of french bread smothered in Nutella, the family sized bag of peanut butter m&ms, the week where I had a cookie with every meal...) I'm the heaviest I've ever been in my life right now. And that's including the time I put on a bunch of weight in college from eating a bunch of breakfast sausage. (Did you know there's like, 60% of your daily fat in one sausage link?) It's invisible weight mostly. But I've always been pretty consistent in what I weigh, so I'd like to shed the extra flub. Easier to do it now than 10 family sized bag of peanut butter m&m's down the road.
I'm also in the market for a dress to wear to a wedding in August. Everything I see at the mall is so freaking ugly. What's up with the like...half-floral, half-paisly prints going on now? And all the dresses I'm seeing are these shapeless, cheap bags. It would be easier if I knew exactly what I was looking for. All I really know is that, apparently, what's in fashion right this minute really doesn't appeal to me.
