Back in the Swing of Things

Lately I have been wondering how to get back into the swing of things. I have been so busy with my new baby that I have neglected the things that make me....me. I think it is time to find myself again and come out swinging. Don't you?

Favorites

With summer just around the corner I have found some new favorites to make the Texas heat more bearable. Here they are....

Flora by Gucci

By far my new favorite scent for this summer

Bubble Bath by OPI

I love this color!

and finally.....

Tory Burch Thora Flip Flop Sandals

(I actually purchased a pair in Orange and one in Green)

Get Rid of It

In the past couple of days I have been hit with the strongest desire to de-clutter. My mantra (at least for this week) is "get rid of it". My closet is getting some much needed breathing room and I feel as if a dead weight is being lifted from my shoulders. As I sort, I cannot believe that I 1. have kept some of this stuff for so long and 2. that I ever even bought it in the first place. Was I really that tacky? Did I really believe that I could pull that outfit off? As I fill up bags with unwanted items I wonder if this "purging" can trickle into other parts of my life. Does getting rid of physical baggage lead to throwing out the emotional baggage in your life as well? I'll keep you posted. In the meantime...how do you "get rid of it"?

I'm Back

After what feels like an extraordinary amount of time I am back. Life has taken some twists and turns that kept me away from Oh My Blog for way too long. Here I am again ready to observe, learn and share.

Being Happy..All the Time?

I think I have been a little irritable lately. My fuse seems to be getting shorter and shorter and I cannot help but wonder if this is just a direct result of being pregnant. Maybe I am just in a bad mood. Anyway, I have found myself wondering how some people seem to be genuinely happy....all the time. There is always a smile on their faces and a kind word ready to be uttered from their lips. They look great! Is this all an act? Are these people masters of deception? Is it possible to be happy all the time? If it is, I'd love to know their secret. As always I would love to read what you have to say.

Regaining Control

Anyone who knows me knows I like things orderly. From the laundry being finished to the house being picked up, I pride myself on my system of control. Lately though I am losing "control" being pregnant has put me on slow motion whether I want to be or not and I am finding it a bit difficult to cope with. Everyone seems to assure me that once I am out of my first trimester I will feel a sudden burst of energy and suddenly feel great. Guess what? That day is approaching fast and I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe I should take it easy and learn to "chill out" but really...can you teach an old dog new tricks?

Still Here

Wow...what a crazy past few weeks. My son started Kindergarten and it has been a whirlwind of school activities ever since. I feel as if I have abandoned you all but please know I am still here. I plan to dedicate as much time as ever to Oh My Blog. So keep reading and checking up on me from time to time.
