-i am incredibly disappointed that there is no snow and we will not be having a white christmas. i am also convinced that mother nature has her months mixed up (and have been convinced of this for over a year); i'm pretty sure this is supposed to be november not december...
-ever since wedding planning i have found myself being more patient with large things than i previously had been. i don't know where this came from or why but not stressing out about things i can't really control is awesome!!
-i have been eating horribly for a good 5 days or so now. the christmas cookies and candy are NOT helping. i opened my drawer at work today and discovered that i'm a candy hoarder (see picture). this needs to be remedied asap! my body is paying the price and it's making me unhappy.
-i am officially done christmas shopping and all the presents are wrapped! i am pleased with our presents selection this year and hope that everyone recieving them realizes that we/i tried to really think about the presents for each person rather than trying to impress with our gifts. i hate that christmas has become so much about money and extravegent gifts. i'm getting to a point of dreading christmas and it's stressfulness. and i don't want to be there. i want it to be a joyous time and a time to get together with family and friends and have fun and celebrate! picture: brown christmas with the cousins (minus 2) on my dad's side.
-i love my husband! but i feel like i hardly get to see him. he has been working a good 3-4 closing shifts the past couple of weeks and we don't get to see each other awake during those days. and the days when he opens, our time together is very limited. between crossfit/gym, his new call of duty mw3 obsesssion, and my new bedtime of 830 (what? how old am i?) we don't get much together time. this must change. soon!
-i looked at pictures of our wedding reception 2 nights ago and it makes me want to do it again! to have the party, to get to wear my dress again, to do it all.... does this ever go away?
-i started going to a sports rehab guy a couple of weeks ago for pain in my shoulders and elbow. come to find out, i have been over exerting my shoulder, bicep, tricep and lower back muscles because due to the sports i've played those are the muscles my body is used to using. however, that is causing aches and pains and since i'm not using my stabilizing muscles (my core, abs, upper back) i have no muscle there. the solution: work on these muscles. while working on these muscles, i have realized how incredibly hard it is to build up strength in muscles. they are constantly sore and when my sports rehab guy trains me, my entire body shakes like a leaf. i feel like an idoit. i feel like someone who has never worked out in my life. it's frustrating to me and i feel so defeated. i know it's helping and it's going in the right direction, but i just want to be able to do it. and do it well. and not hurt all the time. i'm far to stubborn...
-pictures: my new favorite thing: lightening mcqueen-ing people's cars. it makes me smile so much! i did it to my brothers big yellow truck :)
-my boss's boss always makes the cutest cards; here's a pint sized gingerbread man stamp card. so cute!!
