Enjoying the Turtle's Pace of Life

Welcome to Thursday my peeps!  Hope you've had a great week so far after the long holiday weekend.  My week has been good, but oh so busy - mainly due to my new job.  I have been so swamped at work that all of my days are just flying by (which I secretly love - hee hee hee).  But, besides my "day job" I am truly enjoying the slower paced life back home in Arkansas.  I never realized how much the fast pace was beating me up as well as my body. *sigh*  Those late night hours and the long commutes really took it's toll on me for sure.  But, now that I can get in my car in the mornings and afternoons and drive to where I need to go (35 minutes on a good day and 45-50 on a bad day with wrecks) - I feel SO.MUCH.BETTER! :)

Heck, I was even able to get in a workout dvd last night, which I've not done in years! WOOT WOOT!  So... if you don't think the big city life and fast pace can getcha - just wait - it will - ha!  Trust me, I know - from experience.  LOL  Anyway, we are almost completely unpacked and things in their place here at home.  We are so close that if I had worked on emptying boxes last night instead of working out then my bedroom would even be in order by now.  But, in this case the dvd workout was much more important as the city life really beat my body up and I've gained too much weight and been eating unhealthy for too long now and need to get back on track. 

I promise to show you pictures soon.  It may be another week or so, so please bear with me.  Also, I am going to post some "before" pictures here on my blog soon of my new "OFFICE" (at work) to get your input for decorating ideas.  I am on cloud 9 with my new office - I've never had my own actual office where I can close my door, etc.  and I am LOVING IT! 

So.... it's a turtle's life for me:

Well, must get ready for work.  Thanks for stopping by to say hi and please let me know you were here!


Lots of love and hugs,

Finally - HOME SWEET HOME!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you and your families had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July.  We are still getting adjusted and settled in and are almost completely unpacked.  It feels SO GOOD to be HOME finally! :)  I hope starting today that I can now start keeping up with your blogs as well as mine and get things back on track. 

Here's a picture of the outside of our house (that is an old one and some of you have already seen it before) and I will take pictures of the inside once we have everything in its place:

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!  I've missed all of you, my blogging buddies! :)
Lots of love and hugs,

Exciting News

Happy Tuesday, folks!  Hope you are having a great week so far.  Our week has been another busy one as we are preparing for yet ANOTHER (*sigh*) snow storm in which they are calling for a foot this go around - ugh!  Do you think it's too early to be "done" with the winter and snow by chance? LOL  Because I am.... DONE...... stick a fork in me and call it a day! HA!  I am ready for Spring and to get the heck away from all of this cold winter weather and snow - blah.

Okay - so on to the exciting news - drumroll please..................................

{Our house in Conway}

I am flying "HOME" to Arkansas this weekend for a long weekend with my family and I can NOT wait!  I leave Thursday night and return on Tuesday afternoon.  While I'm there I get to go by and check on my house (we are renting it out) too.  (We miss home and our "home" in Arkansas) I am so excited and really hoping that I do not get stuck here in NJ due to this impending snow storm.  Keep your fingers crossed for me and wish me luck!  I'm so excited as I've not seen my mom and sister since last August and not seen my daddy since last March or April.   WOO HOO!!!!

Well, I hate to cut this short - but I must run - hope you have a wonderful and blessed day and thanks for stopping by to say hello. 

Lots of love and hugs,
