Is it or Isn't It...

Going TO BE FALL!

There always seems to be a great choice to be made, whether we make it or it is made for us all throughout life. .. .Should be do this or that, go this way or that way, here or there... you get my point ;-)

This weather seems to be having the same indecisiveness with choices... One minute it is 60 degrees and I am debating on if I should turn the heat on and the next 95 and hot and sunny and all I want to do is jump in the pool. So husby and I were talking last night about when we should close our pool! Our INSANE sort of neighbors (I mean the closest people that live near us) keep their pool open til January and then open it up again late March! Insaneness to be, let me remind you, we live in Maryland... While yes it isnt as cold as Hometown Vermont (it is FREAKING FREEZING in Dec and January!) So we were debating, are we gonna use it much anymore, when do we have time to close it, do we need anything to close it... Husby says let me check the weather! Um mid 80s next week, which probably means it will really be 90s... so yay... we are waiting! it will stay open at least another week... However I wont get to enjoy the pool since I will be in San Diego! at work -- I will however be sure to jump in the gorgeous OCEAN once or twice :)

What do you think, open or close? The great debate!

So What Wednesday!

This week I am saying so what if ...

-- I havent posted in a while... This blogging thing is still on the do I want to do it or not ... The whole putting my business out there to get slammed (recent blog posts about meanies) scares me

-- I am cautiously excited about the future, with all the bad that has happened recently -- I still get giddy thinking about our future.. and wishing and hoping wonderful things will happen ...

-- I am leaving for San Diego for a work trip and I am sad to leave my hubby... I know pathetic! But again see point above... He completes me!

-- I finally put some pics up of our "kids" on the side bar, and I included Nala - girl though sadly she is no longer with us. We lost her a year ago to cancer! :( She was def my sidekick ...

-- Speaking of sidekicks, really the two "boys" are, and the girl is a daddy's girl and wants NOTHING to do with me, even though I fed her, walk her, and she sleeps on the bed next to me

-- I let all the dogs on the bed, adn the "baby" now weighs almost as much as I do!

-- that I am SICK of rain, I realized I MUCH prefer a drought!!!

Head over and link up with Shannon at Life After I "Dew" ...Its fun :)

If ...

Linking up with Shannon over at Life After I "Dew" ... Seems to me, the only person I have linked up with ... Anywho...

If --

If I could have any job, it would be to be a professional equestrian, ( I headed that route after college, but it is SO expensive) hence the need for a job that pays me :)

If I have a child I would name a girl Greer and a boy Everett

If I could live anywhere in the US, it would be Charleston, SC or somewhere close to that city!

If I could change one thing about me, it would be to be able to let my insecurities about my weight go :( I have been PLAGUED with this since a YOUNG teenager and even though I KNOW it is wrong, I cannot help myself sometimes :(

If we could afford it, I would go straight to surrogacy to get my child ...

If we get another animal, it will be a horse ...

If I had a day to myself, I would get a facial, and sit somewhere and read an entire book in one sitting...

If I could go on VACAY right now, it would be to England or Australia!

If you met me in real life you would think I have more confidence about myself than I really do ( I put up a BIG wall :) )

Go over to Life After I "Dew" and check it OUT!

So What Wednesday ...

Today I am linking up with Shannon over at Life After I Dew

For SO WHAT WEDNESDAY!!!

Because I can : )

This week I am saying so what if ...

..I only had to work three days this week and I am counting the hours til my weekend starts

..I am dead tired during the day, but I cannot go to bed b.c I start reading (I am one of those readers who cannot put a book down until I have reached the end)

..My carpets DESPERATELY need cleaning again, but since we are having our house replumbed there is no sense cleaning up a mess twice, so it will have to wait!

..I am running a 5K in TWO weeks and havent run over 2 miles in the past two months! I will be super sore after I am sure :)

..I am trying to lose about 10 lbs but cannot stop eating ICE CREAM... I am seriously crazing it, I think b/c I know it is going to get cold soon and I cannot eat ice cream if I am already cold :(

.. I am going to close our pool, b/c I HATE picking leaves out of it all fall long... Even though I am sure we would use it again...

..I am excited for my work trip (Oct.) so I get to read all night long without hubby yelling at me (well and to see the Pacific Ocean) :)

So what Wednesday is so much fun ... so go link up with Shannon at Life After I "Dew" ....

Giveaway! Peg Perego Pliko System

There is an amazing giveaway over here . Definately go check it out. If not that is ok. I want to win this one for future use! :)

Monday Monday - Oh wait IT IS TUESDAY

Thank the lord for that ... My weeks is SUPER SHORT ...

I want to find someone to design a proper blog for me ... or someone to help instruct me how to design a proper blog... that fits ME and my life better :)

Anywho - In MUCH better spirits today b/c this weekend - I became the mommy to do ADORABLE TEENY TINY PIGLETS - yes you read that right we adopted PIGS ... two micro potbelly piglets .. 4 weeks old, on the bottle adorable piglets ... that have yet to be named :( However they are cute, tiny (about 2 lbs) and super friendly and sweet - Think dog meets baby who makes lots of silly grunting and SCREAMING noises! Pictures to come soon - Promise. I am just figuring this picture thing out :) Plus I want to document to see how quickly they do or do not grow!

On a side note - I need some advice on where to get some decorating types ... I am a creative person but not with furniture or shelves! and our house is plain. It looks like we JUST moved in :( I want to change that ... So perhaps someone who was trained in the design area, or perhaps somewhere to send me, that is relatively inexpensive, or perhaps someone I could send some pictures of and perhaps a Pinterst or two that show my styles and could help me with fabrics, color and furniture placement... I want my home to be a welcoming space and right now it is a blank canvas!

Random Friday Post

Thank goodness for Friday and possibly an early release as well as off Labor Day! The little things that matter...

-- We are thinking of adopting two mini pot belly pigs to add to our herd! We are debating, I was contacted yesterday and they need a home like now. I have a hard time saying "no" to critters in need :)

-- I have been feeling VERY down recently... I am trying to stay positive for those around me that need me, but it is hard to hide the depression all the time. I am hoping I get over it soon! I know what it is from and it just is hard to handle right now :(

-- I went swimming in our pool on Wednesday - O.M.G the water that was WARM all summer long is now downright FREEZING .. WHAT the HAY!?? Something to thank from Irene!!!

-- I was playing with my goats last night (they are TAME) and they just crack me up .. They had me in tears, they play so hard it literally makes them faint! HYSTERICAL... I am going to upload a video of it to UTUBE soon, once I figure out how ...

-- This weekend is busy, the best thing to keep myself in good spirits, Running with a friend in the AM, a football game Saturday! cookout with some good friends Sunday! Doesnt get any better than that!

-- I am HOME SICK ... I know sounds silly right, I thought I had gotten over that in college, but I havent been to my HOME STATE in over a year. and well I really miss my family and the area where I grew up... Unfortunately, Irene played havoc so even if I wanted to go home, I cannot right now. So my family is coming to me! Aren't they wonderful! :) And I get to see this big boy soon! He "luuves his Auntie" or so he tells me on the phone - He is pretty darn smart for a 20 month old. He can even call me at work ;)
(Well I was actually going to insert a photo but blogger is being DUMB)
