I am a big fan of Fall which all of you may know, but when Summer is officially here I go a little nuts! I love the fact that my fruits & veggies are growing & they are so freaking cute! I love going on evening walks and BBQing. I am also more likely to go on a run rather than stay inside and play the same workout video for the 89283642 time. It sure is a lovely thing! So I have added some pictures which have been from the last week to replace my normal Wednesday post. Enjoy & Happy Summer! {Rain or Shine, Summer is here.}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1igGQhhr8n9VJ8hUX3mHhaQFOFC4mLrQfRT1QXX3sFL5I0dp_a3x7qc2_ZSlrOHJ0vb22SlyLwg9e08uQ_HNljcNzC7V9KVFtZCQqaYV9moeEagrU0I-KUUhKZkjuhSeU5pbU2WCn2Eb6/s640/blogger-image--18333687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1igGQhhr8n9VJ8hUX3mHhaQFOFC4mLrQfRT1QXX3sFL5I0dp_a3x7qc2_ZSlrOHJ0vb22SlyLwg9e08uQ_HNljcNzC7V9KVFtZCQqaYV9moeEagrU0I-KUUhKZkjuhSeU5pbU2WCn2Eb6/s640/blogger-image--18333687.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Lovely cherry tree {1 of 3} that I find myself snacking on frequently</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhap24k1AnpNd-VU4OhC-MjhsVjCj2Kb1P-dmREXPRh1fDjbrL479B-DLlbc5YKcRYhs5vi-xA5Aa5uvWyqjNY09CxO54vHjyhFNRJHyQML96LsEJ7tnm4qYp20omMsdQ7W3kWk9MXH1HyA/s640/blogger-image--1454326263.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhap24k1AnpNd-VU4OhC-MjhsVjCj2Kb1P-dmREXPRh1fDjbrL479B-DLlbc5YKcRYhs5vi-xA5Aa5uvWyqjNY09CxO54vHjyhFNRJHyQML96LsEJ7tnm4qYp20omMsdQ7W3kWk9MXH1HyA/s640/blogger-image--1454326263.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my tan line fail, the last picture on here is where I though it was a good idea to wear my Keen MJ shoes fishing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG9CF2qV9w4weN6R9J4Ton-_qo3qlHu4ihLnj0ZTYymbymbinBTrOdNoMvEEkqtAiMmv89g8PQZQm5c0L3qhmay6o427FuhQkz8n7Q_RIviVcxMaVCY4Lk7MyU9RISShdSXuoi9FhizZ8/s640/blogger-image--1368903495.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG9CF2qV9w4weN6R9J4Ton-_qo3qlHu4ihLnj0ZTYymbymbinBTrOdNoMvEEkqtAiMmv89g8PQZQm5c0L3qhmay6o427FuhQkz8n7Q_RIviVcxMaVCY4Lk7MyU9RISShdSXuoi9FhizZ8/s640/blogger-image--1368903495.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Precious baby Peaches, they are so much bigger now & they are going to be so yummy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggzLIarCy3eUUe-4YRMz5J9I_8fjH5DvJExCB2ZxgchWlsBAGDzWMDeKUEFrbuLcHH_RZWUq-1HNatD6HKvJKK3p0o7bjZ7Vn8Xf67QQHsIjBwl1rLwFqVhq9M0Q1chtL7S6A08GRnKfDw/s640/blogger-image-1460868174.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggzLIarCy3eUUe-4YRMz5J9I_8fjH5DvJExCB2ZxgchWlsBAGDzWMDeKUEFrbuLcHH_RZWUq-1HNatD6HKvJKK3p0o7bjZ7Vn8Xf67QQHsIjBwl1rLwFqVhq9M0Q1chtL7S6A08GRnKfDw/s640/blogger-image-1460868174.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My first 2 tomatoes of the year!

Not to mention this picture below was taken with "the 80's guy" which was our entertainment for the night because this dude didn't stop dancing the entire night!

Contraindications</div><div style="text-align: left;">This word is used a lot in my profession. When something is done {or shouldn't be done} because frankly it doesn't go, it doesn't mesh well, it just is a no no. That being said I am realizing there are a few contraindications going on in my silly, yes, but I gotta pull it together!</div><div style="text-align: left;">For example, I was raised to eat at the table for meals, my husband was as well. I have said multiple times from the beginning that there will be no eating in front of the TV. Look at me breaking my rule. Daily. Sometimes multiple times a day! Ew! Another example, I use way too many paper towels. Yes, I said they were silly, but hello! I know I do it and yet I can't seem to used the kitchen towel to dry something, I must use 12 paper towels instead. Now that these have been realized, I must work on changing them. {insert laughter here for such nonsense}</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3.

Today is the exception since I work at 6 tonight, but I have had plenty of time to practice yoga, eat a delicious breakfast, blog or clean and get ready for work on time without rushing! It's a wonderful thing!<br /><br /><b>Wanna be yogi</b>: so I have started practicing yoga again and I love it and can't believe I stopped! I feel like it has changed my attitude and stress level already!<br /><br /><b>Hawaii or bust:</b> it's official. Husband and I will be in Honolulu the last week of October! I am so excited for a real vacation and a honeymoon 2 years late! Recommend anything spectacular I must do while I'm there? Open for suggestions! Please and thank you!<br /><br />Now back to my relaxing boat ride...<br />Happy hump day, beautiful!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqcTltJ4s_cw6ujrHFhgio-S2137AYjboMOC-jyRsBNRNWCBDyH_0LgtW7nn7WEejN2anDzdh3j6o7wQOOFj7yihRPrJoEGBumNWDLRp8kNi2Gkst4oW5Ntrf4Rfc7lCOgrcJQs_ZzlMIy/s640/blogger-image-1902983422.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqcTltJ4s_cw6ujrHFhgio-S2137AYjboMOC-jyRsBNRNWCBDyH_0LgtW7nn7WEejN2anDzdh3j6o7wQOOFj7yihRPrJoEGBumNWDLRp8kNi2Gkst4oW5Ntrf4Rfc7lCOgrcJQs_ZzlMIy/s640/blogger-image-1902983422.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUWUGVAiRLkXstM1Wdd1n6l2ZBck6nD48o7IvXdqcthG7rNYbNYaQXjMoDPU3pv6pFeW5mzpRxZl6THZTFd64a4XryT9gRemsYy_dwMRce_5pXdKRJL24hvOJK1sNOjdCyyZownnxUGvh/s640/blogger-image-1608719399.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUWUGVAiRLkXstM1Wdd1n6l2ZBck6nD48o7IvXdqcthG7rNYbNYaQXjMoDPU3pv6pFeW5mzpRxZl6THZTFd64a4XryT9gRemsYy_dwMRce_5pXdKRJL24hvOJK1sNOjdCyyZownnxUGvh/s640/blogger-image-1608719399.jpg" /></a></div>courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07329338848708975468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952495377052175261.post-35525782055559599602012-05-29T11:23:00.002-07:002012-05-29T11:25:11.259-07:00Tuesday's Tune<div style="text-align: center;">Yes, I'm a country girl</div><div style="text-align: center;">& I am loving this tune!</div><div style="text-align: center;">{You may want to turn this up... full blast!}</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy Tuesday!</div><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fefu8tca4EY?fs=1" width="480"></iframe>courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07329338848708975468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952495377052175261.post-34825929526701911822012-05-27T19:31:00.002-07:002012-05-27T19:47:59.479-07:00futuristically speaking, of course!So, I have these topics that I have on the brain that I will be posting in the month of June, possibly I will sneak one or two in this week. Speaking of... is it really June? This is crazy talk! I'm excited for a new month, I always am!<div>I don't think I will post my topics just yet, I would rather surprise ya'll! I hope this long weekend is treating you and yours absolutely fantastic. </div><div>Today I did something crazy, I signed up to be a MK consultant because I love their products & because I want to have some fun. I hope to sign up with another company within the next few months. I love helping people, duh right I'm a nurse, but I also love helping people feel special with some lovely products at a <s>freaking fantastic</s> slightly reduced retail price. Love MK products? I'm your girl!</div><div>I have yet to conquer a schedule and I have been at my job for 9 weeks now! I am so frustrated. I'm the type of girl who would love to have everything planned and go about my day accordingly. </div><div>I will do it! I know I will. I just want to catch on now. I would love to wake up same time, daily. wake up, water garden, workout, eat breakfast, get ready, make my lunch and squeeze in a blog post or whip up a meal for dinner. Instead this is my routine: wake up, water garden, sometimes a workout then rush to get ready, eat breakfast and make my lunch all in 30 minutes. If you know me you are probably aware of the shame I feel for admitting my chaos I experience before work each day. So, for this week, my goal is a schedule!</div><div>Just a little babbling on a Sunday evening! Happy day off tomorrow loves. {I will be saving people while you relax!}</div>courtneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07329338848708975468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952495377052175261.post-21471373563222142372012-05-24T10:09:00.002-07:002012-05-24T10:33:46.715-07:00hump day huddle. {tardy edition}<div><br /></div><div><b>love-hate relationship:</b> with change that is. there is a lot of change going on at work & i am trying to be open to it but i feel like slapping someone! i know it will be a good change, but thats how we are as humans, I think for the most part we like being comfortable & change messes with the comfortable factor in all sorts of bad ways. I was watching an old episode of Grey's last night & it was perfectly stated: change will always occur, but only we can control how the change controls us.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>body by vi:</b> due to my busyness recently, I have not weighed in and my diet has been fairly healthy with a side of donuts & a beer here and there.

She is just fine, no issues with her GI system, however since she was full of meth during her time in her mom's tummy, most of her teeth came in rotten. So bye bye top four teeth and one bottom one. She's a strong little girl and is doing great and has so far left her tube alone. She will be on the tube for 5 months at least while a constant evaluation of her nutrition goes on. Keep my family in your prayers, Lexi especially.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxgwZwzUW-WmZQtaJjUHazLQ6nOsQApjbkvZc527hqjh-Id940DeaK1bjNSKT9QNdoKbyUrRrChgyZf1QnJMEZOPbsqbuUVIMG5025jXQo_q5YicCgfl4r5U55v9ZATiiqS1GZG3BSi1F/s640/blogger-image--1604186713.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQxgwZwzUW-WmZQtaJjUHazLQ6nOsQApjbkvZc527hqjh-Id940DeaK1bjNSKT9QNdoKbyUrRrChgyZf1QnJMEZOPbsqbuUVIMG5025jXQo_q5YicCgfl4r5U55v9ZATiiqS1GZG3BSi1F/s640/blogger-image--1604186713.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left;clear: both; ">I just love & adore this little girl so much!
