adios!


today we're headed on our spanish vacation to torrevieja on the costa blanca.  i cannot wait to relax on the beach, drink sangria, and eat yummy tapas and paella.  oh!  and take many siestas!  (i might be able to update the blog while i'm there as the house we rented has wifi!)

always the intentions...

i've had every intention of blogging regularly this past week.  in fact, i even have a list of things that i want to blog about!  but, for various reasons i've actually failed to sit down and write.  so, i will vow to post regularly next week.  stay tuned!  (i bet i have about three readers on the edge of their seats....)

until then, enjoy this adorable picture of my "badass" nephew on his bike!

picture challenge completed!

i really enjoyed completing this photo challenge!  it was a great excuse to go through older pictures while laughing, remembering old memories, and saying "gosh, look how thin i was then!" countless times.  there were some pictures my myself that i came across that i wanted to share, but didn't fit into the criteria for any of the challenge days.  so, here are some more pictures! 

 one of my favorite pictures that my grandpa took one halloween when i was younger.  my sisters and i wore the hell out of that clown costume that my aunt made.  i think all three of us wore it at some point.
 
 


at the fort wayne zoo (i believe)
i think this is when my fear of animals began...i remember being chased by a goose!

(i loved that sweater!)

some know this picture as my "i'd do me" picture.  not sure why but i LOVE this picture of myself.  i think it's because it's one of the first pictures of myself after i lost about 50lbs when i went to college! 

a picture at dinner with friends, shortly after i moved to chicago.

a picture of something you wish you were better at.

picture challenge: day 11

a picture of something you hate.  


exercise. 
maybe it's not exercise itself that i hate, but my lack of motivation to exercise. 

and going right along with exercise is my hatred of dieting.

somehow i need to find my hatred of these two things to become something tolerable.
