A couple of weeks ago, Chel and I went to the Sugarland Concert and LOVED it! I would highly recommend this show! We got to sit with some fun new friends and enjoy the show. They were touring with Julianne Hough (of Dancing with the Stars fame and now a fledgling country singer) and she was okay. Although, I have to say that I am totally impressed with her ability to sing whilst swinging around a stripper pole. It was a concert full of energy and we were on our feet the entire time. Which leads me to GOAL #8: Attend more concerts. I have been to Garth Brooks and Kelly Clarkson (a number of times and enjoyed each one, especially when she was touring with Reba) and that's all. Now that I live in a place where concerts are easy access, I plan on attending a lot more. Next on the calendar: Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum on May 29th! Yay for Chel and concerts! Shoes
I have been doing very well on a couple of my goals and the one that I like the most is buying a new pair of shoes every month. Here is a picture of the last three pairs that I have purchased:
I love them and they make me happy and I am thinking about writing a book called, "The Healing Power of a Great Pair of Shoes"Sweat
Another one of my goals: Getting Healthy. I joined the local gym and have been really vigilant and even hired a trainer to teach me how to lift weights the most effectively. She is from Russia and very knowledgeable and I am pretty sure that I have never hated another human being more than her. BUT-I listened to what she said and so far have dropped 3 pounds and counting!! Yay! As long as the numbers keep going in the right direction, I am happy and motivated to keep going to the gym every day. Sorry, no pics yet, but as soon as there is a noticeable to the outside eye difference, I will share with you, my favorites.
Sammie
I have been able to spend quite a bit of time with this girl since living here at home, and have learned a lot of things about living life from her:
I have learned that when I am full, I can stop eating and stick out my belly. I have learned that it is okay to cry when I don't like something and if I snuggle in to the nearest shoulder I will feel all better. I have learned that if I do not want to do my hair, I don't need to be self conscious and just go with it. I have learned that when I am tired, I should just go to sleep. And naps are good. Real good. I have also learned that if something is funny I should laugh out loud and for as long as I want. Ah, to live the life of Sammie...
