Buzz's Army


Mac loves to arrange all his toys in his own little way. He normally just lines up all his cars and trucks from big to small, but this morning he got a little more creative. Patrick called it "Buzz's Army" since he put Buzz Lightyear in the front.

Things

I wish I was better at...

Blogging. I have some very talented blogging friends. I just love how their pictures and fonts looks juuuust right on the page and how great the layout looks. I am a blog nerd wanna be! Two pretty cool blog shout outs for you: The Rigolosos and The Spooners

Couponing. I have some friends that are experts at this and save so much $. I feel guilty not doing it. I have a SoutherSavers tutorial video on pause right now...

Exercising. I am not even going to go into this explanation b/c it just makes me mad at myself...

One week later...
I have decided I will probably never be a master coupon user, but I have used a few coupons and saved a few bucks since this original post. I think I'll stick to saving $ just by shoppig Big Lots and Walmart, buying off brands, and using the occasional manufacturer's coupon  thanks :).

Also, I have gone to the gym twice since last week! Boo yeah! I tried the first workout of "Couch to 5k" just to see how I liked it. It was actually tolerable.

Productivity

Lazy days are fun, but after a productive day like today, I always feel great. Here's what I got done today...


  • Organized my clothes in my closet, moved older/tighter clothes to another closet.
  • Grouped together Sunday outfits to decrease my getting ready time. Sundays can be a tad chaotic when getting ready for church.
  • Reorganized guest room closet. 
  • Helped Patrick install shelves in Mac's room.
  • Put new bulbs in our bedroom fan light. 
  • Vacuumed living room rug.
  • Washed dishes.

What Not to Wear


I felt like I was wearing the same few outfits for church each Sunday, and I never could remember which grey pants are the ones that are way too tight and which ones fit just right so.... I had my own private episode of What Not to Wear!

I threw all my skirts and pants onto the bed and tried on every one of them. I'm sad to say that 60% of them went into the "way too tight" pile. I didn't throw them into a big aluminum trash can like on the show ; I will store them away for a day when I have shed some unwanted pounds. 

You should try doing this in your own closet. Here are the pros and cons...

Pros: cuts down on your time getting ready, reminds you of clothes you forgot you had, creates some much needed space for those of you with small closets like me, gives you a chance to donate some items

Con: the fact that you USED to fit in most of those clothes, but not anymore.
