Be still my wandering heart!



    I am SO ready for an adventure. My dad emailed me this morning and suggested a trip to Florida. I didn’t even have to think about it, let’s nail down some details and GO! I would literally drop everything right this second and go if I could. I am sick of staying indoors, the frigid Michigan weather (I mean it looks GOREGOUS out right now and it’s cold as fuck....I’m under 7 blankets writing this!!) 

 

    I am beyond ready for adventure! This also means I get to go and get my Harry Potter nerd alert on at Universal Studios! 

 

    He was being dead serious and that means so am I! 

 

    It’s offically March! We talked about this! But it also means it’s my birthday month! (March 16th!) I have a ton of stuff coming up that I can get excited about! 

 

    My birthday, duh! This is going to be a cheat day for me and I was promised Cheesecake Factory! (YUM)

 

    Then in April we have our annual family trip to The Great Wolf Lodge! It’s a long weekend where our motley crew of 17 goes to a GWL and we fill our souls with good food, company, laughs and where we spend 98% of our time plummeting down waterslides! 

 

    And now with the prospect of planning a trip to FL my heart is BURSTING with wanderlust; and of course a warmer climate! 

 

    Today is all about getting out of your own head.

 

    Here’s what I would be worrying about if I hadn’t changed my mindset:

 

* Can I afford all of this?

* I am going to look like a fat-ass in my bathing suit, I shouldn’t go.

* I won’t be able to get around very well, I shouldn’t go...

* I don’t want people to stare at me while I eat!

* They’re going to make me buy two plane seats....(never actually happened but anxiety!)

 

 

    Here’s what I am thinking about right now:

 

* My new, SMALLER bathing suit has dinosaurs on it and it’s cute as hell!

* Who cares if I can afford it, I am tired of living like a hermit! 

* I am LITERALLY half the person I was the last time and I will only need ONE seat.

* Go ahead, watch me stuff this lettuce wrap down my throat, it’s delicious! 

* I get around just fine and can run like a damn champ now. 

 

    Soooooo, YEAH! Mindset is EVERYTHING! 

 

    Who else is ready for some adventure? 

 

 

    That’s all I’ve got today! I’m going to plan a vacation! 





 

XOXO

Cookie Era!

Image
  Listen, I’m in my cookie era! Here’s what I did! I made a double batch, scooped them and placed them on parchment paper to keep them separated. Placed them in freezer bags and then froze the second batch. That way I have chemical free cookies ready to take out of the freezer whenever I want and bake fresh! This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

My Manic...

Image
     I have been stressing myself out lately about perfection. I can’t share anything I do unless I know it’s perfect. It’s probably going to give me an ulcer.       I decided today that I didn’t need perfection.      It’s not about that. I mean I’ve always known that but I am so unbelievably hard on myself that I allowed those feelings to creep in and attack my inner peace!        I haven’t felt that manic in about a year! So it was definitely something that I had to take care of right away! I almost forgot that my manic was an emotional response to stress.          I was being unappreciative of my own strengths, too hard on my personal weaknesses and turning a blind eye to my mental state.       I called it quits yesterday and decided to do absolutely nothing all day to let my brain rest and recover from my own abuse. Until inspiration hit and I decided to DOODLE.  ...

Ditch Kitty!

Image
  It’s been awhile since I’ve had an update on my little rescued ditch kitty! Sirius is thriving! he came to me at 1.5 pounds soaking wet and he’s up to 7.5 pounds now! Which is perfectly in line for his age! He’s all up to date on his vaccinations and he doesn’t have to go back for another year! (Unless he needs to!) His personality can only be described as wildly unpredictable and entertaining! His favorite things are wet food, cucumbers and pull tabs from my almond milk and playing nonstop!
