I am

I am so looking forward to the end of the school year, although I am not looking forward to the fact that my baby girl will be in Middle School next year. I’m not sure I’m ready for that.

But I am looking forward to spending time with my girls this summer. They’re at the age when they want to hang out with me and I’m going to make the most of it while it lasts.

I am finding myself in a rut, cooking-wise. I need to shake things up and find some new recipes. I think it is the combination of the busy schedule we’ve had the past month and the sinus infection I’ve had. When you feel rotten you don’t feel like cooking.

I am thinking about moving my blog to a self-hosted Word Press blog. I’m a little intimidated by the whole techy side of things. Wish I knew someone who could just set it all up for me. (anyone have any suggestions?)

I am trying to be a little forgiving of myself that I haven’t done better about exercising this year, although I don’t want to slip into giving myself the easy out – it’s something I need to do for my health and well-being. I need to focus on making it more of a priority.

I am wishing I had more time for creative pursuits. Maybe after school is out I’ll find some extra time in my day to do some writing, journaling and scrapbooking. Lately when I have had the time I’ve been so tired I haven’t had the energy.

I am looking forward to seeing my brother in a few weeks. I have to go to my company’s corporate headquarters for some meetings and he will be there at the same time. I can’t wait to see him and spend a little time together. We used to have such adventures together when we were in college.

I am also really looking forward to the trip to HQ. I have lots of old friends out there from the days when I used to travel back & forth across the country all the time and I rarely get to see them in person anymore. My once-a-year trip to HQ gives me a chance to reconnect in person, which I love.

and now, I am signing off.
