Welcome back! I decided it was time for some spring cleaning on the ol’ blog, so I’ve switched things up a bit (thanks to my fantastic husband, Garrod). It’s still a work in progress, but I hope you like the new look.
As you may have noticed, the tackling of my 2010 goals is off to a slow start. I accomplished goal #1 (call a CPA – GO ME!) and goal #5 (pick a name for my boudoir business, which is soon to be announced). And, I’m getting super close to accomplishing goal #4 (launch a separate boudoir blog).
I’m doing a little better on goal #10 (eat more vegetables). I’ve actually been eating a pescatarian diet for the past two months, much to Garrod’s chagrin. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the varying degrees of vegetarianism, a “pescatarian” is someone who abstains from eating meat with the exception of fish. I admit, I am a bit of a softy when it comes to animals and the movie Food, Inc. really had an impact on me. However, my health is the primary impetus behind my dietary change of heart. I’ve always had high cholesterol (despite a pretty low-fat diet) and for the past couple of years I’ve felt like the food I eat could have something to do with the fact that more often than not, I feel tired and unfocused. So, I’m giving the “no meat” thing a try. Maybe it will make a difference or maybe it won’t, but at least I tried something.
The rest of my goals are just lying there… unaccomplished… taunting me. Maybe when the cow remnants are completely out of my system, I’ll be able to really focus and start getting things done.
The blogging goal is obviously off to a very rough start. The “watch less TV” goal has imploded. In the last month, I actually managed to ADD a show to my list of must-see TV. (That show is Dexter. Check it out. It’s fan-freakin-tastic. But, you must start with Season 1, Episode 1.)
One of my 2010 goals that I didn’t include on the original list is to sell our condo. We love living near downtown Austin, but it’s time to find a place with more room and a yard for our dog, Maddy. Our condo went on the market a couple of weeks ago, so keep your fingers crossed that it will sell quickly. In an effort to play up the “how cool would it be to live on South Congress” angle, I took photos of some of the fun restaurants/bars/shops within walking distance and framed 8×10 prints to hang in our condo. Here are a few of the shots as well as the final product on our living room wall.





Be sure to check back on Thursday for an engagement photo post of a GORGEOUS (and fun and smart and kind) couple, Liz & Brad.
As always, thanks for stopping by and please let me know what you think in the comment section. I will love you forever. For real.
love,
