Oh, I try to be a good blogger ...

Really I do. I think about it a lot, read a lot more and somehow continue to neglect mine. At least this post is less a week after the last one, right?

It's been a LONG week, but a good week. I had Max longer than usual this week, which really was good for us. It forced me to get most things done on Monday, Wednesday and Today and just "be" and enjoy on Tuesday and Thursday.

I also started back up on the treadmill again. And while I can't officially say I'm back in a routine, I'm hoping it sticks ... the thing is I really LOVE working out once I'm doing it. Can any of you relate? And the more you do it, the more you want to do it ... I was thinking about this the other day after a hard, sweaty (you really wanted to know that didn't you?) workout and the word I thought of was EMPOWERMENT. That's what I feel when I work out. I feel this sense of me doing something, me making a difference in my body, in my health and in me. All those endorphins flowing through me make me a happier and healthier person, which in turn makes me a better person for my family and friends. Ever since I had Ethan I've struggled to get back into this routine ... hoping we're making head way here.

So a few good things from this week (I know you're all waiting to hear about what tickles my fancy more than gluesticks!):

• Jelly Belly's in Bulk - Mmmm ... WinCo has them "on tap" and you can just get a little of this flavor and a lot of this flavor .... Ethan and I picked Bubble Gum & Cotton Candy and balanced them out with Pear & Peach ;).
• Candle Wax by the ounce - We have a place here in Meridian that will fill any container with one of their 50+ scents for .60/ounce. We went with Spiced Orange this time ... and I saw a lady bring in a ceramic pumpkin to be filled, how cute will that be?!?
• Lunch with friends (Thanks Jana, Nancy & Sharon ... two fun lunch dates this week)
• Grey's Anatomy - Season 2 ... yes I'm officially "hooked." And now have one week to wath 27 episodes ... Season 3 premiers on Thursday, September 21st!
• My husband ... of course, I always love him, but this week I'm especially loving him ... I think we're just in one of those good places.

Okay, enough rambling before it all gets too sappy.

I'll try to post a picture or two this weekend. I have a new knitted bag to show off as well as some pig cupcakes we made (just for fun!).

Happy Friday and Weekend!!
