Not many people know this, but in April I joined a competition at work! You will probably be familiar with it....BIGGEST LOSER! What an inspiring show! Not that I needed to lose 100 lbs but I did want to drop a few for summer and the $100 prize at the end was all I needed to sign right up. Well...with three weeks left to go, at this point in the competition I AM THE BIGGEST LOSER! That's right, nothing like a competition right before summer to get my butt in shape! It's totally rewarding to do something so good and healthy for yourself! Now just a 'few' more weeks to go.
Speaking of my 4th of July trip to Dallas to visit my favorite extended family....I did it. I sent my resume to Dallas....EEK! Kind of scary putting yourself out there to people you've never met! So far it was a success! I have had 3 phone interviews and hope to hear back this week. Still not positive on an upcoming move, but I had to try! Like my Momma says, "You can always say know Honey!" ...and that's right, so I can't wait to see what this week brings with the follow up's to those interviews!
On to the good stuff. I have been inspired....MAJORLY inspired by designer blogs. It has become my most recent addiction (with the exception of my sewing machine). I am so at peace doing crafts and making things for my family and friends. Most recently I learned how to hem a pair of pants (with the advice of 'you tubing' it from Momma D ;) and I made my mothers day presents. Now the pants....that took a few tries. I forgot to actually measure and pin them while my Dad had them on....OOOPS! Luckily my Dad said another pair of 'house pants' were JUST what he needed!
The blog I am absolutely addicted to right now is Jones Design Company. I found this blog at my friend Shalon's (former Mrs. Colorado 2010) blog at http://www.loveshalon.com/. Both of these women are truly inspiring to follow. Mothers, wives, sisters, decorators, creators.....like I said, I'm addicted!
