It's been a really, really, really long time since I have blogged! Yikes! I'm going to try ever so hard to do better. I'm linking up with Farley for this month's Currently.

Listening to Scandal...I just love this show! Actually, Thursday night is my favorite night of TV watching because I love all Shonda Rimes Thursday shows!

Loving my sister...You guys have no idea how much I love my sister! She is truly amazing! This summer she had a heart transplant. Yep, you read that right a HEART TRANSPLANT!!! It's a long story that I plan to blog about soon. Her heart birthday is August 12, 2014.

Thinking...I'm so excited for the 3 day weekend! We are out of school on Monday for FAIR DAY!! Yes, that's right! I live near the State Fair of Texas and we get a ticket to get in free and a whole day off to go and enjoy the day. I'm most excited for the extra sleep! I've been exhausted lately.

Wanting to reach my TPT and Blog goals! My TPT goals are to increase the amount of sales from September to October and reach 500 TPT followers. I know I can do it. I just need to work a little harder! My blog goals are to blog at least once a week (twice would be nice) and start a monthly linky or host my first giveaway.

I so need to get motivated to lose some weight. I started walking this summer. I walked 3 miles everyday for a big chunk of the summer and now it seems like so much work to even try to walk one mile! I have got to find a way to motivate myself.

TREAT...here's a freebie you can find in my TPT store by clicking here. If you haven't already downloaded it hop on over there and grab it.

Well, that's all I've got. See you around the blogging world (really soon...I promise)!

It's been so long since I last blogged. I am going to do everything possible to do better! I'm linking up for the May Currently. Here we go!

Listening-I'm listening to Friday's episode of The View. I record it everyday, but I have to admit that I don't actually watch every single episode. Sometimes there is way too much going on for me to watch every thing I record. So, upon occasion I will delete a ton of shows to make room for more recordings!

Loving-I'm loving that I recently celebrated my 39th birthday! I don't really have a problem with my age. I always think it's just great to still be able to have a birthday! And I have HUGE plans for my 40th birthday next year!!! I can't wait.

Thinking- My son will be graduating from High School on June 4th. Time is flying!! When the school year started graduation seemed so far away. Now, it is so CLOSE!! Here are a few of his senior pictures that I absolutely love!

(my favorite photographer)

Wanting-I so want to be able to snap my fingers and have everything on my to do list complete. With EOY going on at school and graduation stuff going on at home there is just way too much to get done. Plus, my girls are still playing soccer right now.

Needing-I need to get my son's graduation invitations addressed and mailed by Monday, but I'm thinking it will end up being later in the week.

(sorry for the blurry photo)

Surprise-I just love Liz over at TheHappyTeacher! She is such a sweetie and has wonderful ideas and products. Hop on over to her blog and check her out!

That's all I've got! See you around the blogging world!
