[BUSY BEE]

[WEEKEND RECAP]
IVE BEEN BUSY. THIS PAST WEEKEND WAS PRETTY AWESOME. SATURDAY WAS A LITTLE ROUGH... WE WENT DOWN TO CARDIFF FOR SOME KIND OF STREET FAIR, BUT ALL ABOUT DOGS. FIGURED CAE WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL THE DOGS. WHICH HE WOULD HAVE IF HE DIDN'T THROW A FIT BEFOREHAND. WE BROUGHT OUR LIL STROLLER, GOT PIZZA, AND ALL CAE WANTED TO DO WAS PUSH THE STROLLER. WHICH IS FINE... KINDA. PROBLEM IS THAT HE IS STILL LITTLE AND IS A STROLLER DRIVER IN TRAINING... WATCH YOUR ANKLES! AND OF COURSE HE GETS MAD IF YOU TRY TO HELP HIM STEER. SIDE NOTE: CAE IS REALLY STARTING TO GET ANGRY WHEN YOU SAY NO OR NOT LET HIM DO SOMETHING. SO WE ENDED UP TAKING THE STROLLER FROM HIM. HE FREAKED (OF COURSE) AND THREW A HUGE FIT. WE ENDED UP WALKING DOWN AN ALLEY WITH HIM CHASING US IN A PANIC TRYING TO GET THE STROLLER BACK. WE STAYED STRONG. THANK GOODNESS I HAVE JOSH THERE TO KEEP ME FROM CAVING. I KNOW IT IS BETTER IN THE LONG RUN NOT TO APPEASE HIM, BUT WHEN THAT CHILD IS SCREAMING UP A STORM LIKE HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT... ITS A LITTLE HARD TO WATCH. ALL YOU CAN THINK IS "HE'S GOTTA STOP SOMETIME." AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE HOURS (MAYBE A WHOLE 20-30 MIIN) HE STOPPED STRUGGLING AND HAD SOME WATER... WE WALKED THROUGH THE FAIR FOR A SPLIT SECOND ON OUR WAY BACK TO THE CAR... AY CARUMBA. SO STRESSFUL. A LITTLE EMBARRASSING. BUT YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO.
SUNDAY WAS AMAZING. WE TOOK CAELUM ON HIS FIRST COASTER TRAIN RIDE. HE'S A LITTLE OBBESSED WITH TRAINS, WE LIVE RIGHT BY ONE AND EVERYTIME HE PERKS UP AND CANT HELP BUT SAY 'CHOO CHOOOOO' SO FOR HIM TO BE ONNNN THE TRAIN, OH MAN. CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY.

WE BROUGHT OUR BEACH CRUISERS ON BOARD AND HEADED DOWNTOWN TO SEE SOME BOATS, WALK AIMLESSLY, AND  FIND SOME SHENANIGANS. CAE DID WELL, A LITTLE PISSY WHEN WE DIDN'T GO QUITE WHERE HE WANTED TO GO, BUT YOU KNOW HOW IT ALL GOES. ALL IN ALL IT WAS AN AMAZING DAY, SUN SHINING, CAE HAD FUN, WAS TOTALLY GOOD GETTING ON AND OFF THE BIKE/TRAIN, AND WE HAD A LOVELY FAMILY DAY  ;D

[FITNESS]
ALRIGHTY ASIDE FROM THE BUSY WEEKEND. IVE BEEN RUNNING. KINDA. ILL PROBABLY GO ON MY 4TH RUN TONIGHT... HOWEVER I DO HAVE A FLAT STROLLER TIRE... SOOOO IT MIGHT END UP BEING  A BIKE RIDE AND MAYBE A RUN TOMORROW. THEY HAVE BEEN GOING PRETTY WELL. I GOT UP TO ALMOST A MILE AND A HALF. GETTING EXCITED, BUT I CAN SEE HOW MUCH I AM GETTING OUT OF SHAPE. I USE TO DO 6 AND BE FINE, NOW I GET PRETTY TIRED PRETTY DARN FAST. ARG. A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR SURE...

[FOOD]
AS FAR AS FOOD. IVE BEEN TRYING TO BE GOOD, IM SURE IF I GOT MORE SERIOUS ID SEE THE RESULTS I WANT, BUT YOU KNOW HOW THAT IS. IVE BEEN PRETTY NUTS ABOUT SMOOTHIES LATELY. SO YUMMY! ESP AT WORK BECAUSE ITS SO HOT, AND THE FRUIT GIVES YOU GOOD ENERGY INSTEAD OF HAVING MORE COFFEE. MY TRICK: KEY LIME PIE YOGURT... GIVES IT A FUN ZING! :D

[MOOD]
I WAS A LITTLE DOWN LAST WEEK, I KNOW A COUPLE OF YOU GOT A TEXT MESSAGE OF 'I MISS YOUS.' I HAVE GREATTTT FRIENDS, HOWEVER, MOST OF THEM LIVE FAR AWAY. I NEED A WORKOUT BUDDY. SOMEONE SUPER CLOSE BY, WHO IS FREE IN THE AFTERNOONS, AND DOWN FOR ANYTHING. SOMEONE WHO IS HARDCORE AND WILL PUSH ME. IT SUCKS TRYING TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF, ESPECIALLY WHEN IVE BEEN SO BUMMED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO BE MY NORMAL 'HARDCORE' SELF. I GUESS ITS ALL A TEST... GOT TO PUSH MYSELF... I GUESS IVE BEEN DOING THAT ALL ALONG. MAYBE ITS JUST MORE MOTIVATING WHEN SOMEONE ELSE BELIEVES IN YOU TOO? WHO KNOWS. ARG.

[IN OTHER NEWS]
... SORRY THIS PARTICULAR BLOG ENTRY IS GOING TO BE VERY SCRAMBLED; AS IS MY LIFE I SUPPOSE HAHA. I GOT TO HAVE A PLAYDATE WITH SARAH AND MY NIECE OLIVE. IT WAS AMAZING. I MISS THEM A LOT. IT WAS SO AWESOME TO WATCH OLIVE AND CAE TOGETHER. SO ALIKE YET SO DIFFERENT, THEY WERE TRULY A CRACK UP. IT WAS ALSO WONDERFUL TO TALK/VENT WITH/TO SARAH. SHE UNDERSTANDS RYAN, AND UNDERSTANDS WHERE I AM/WAS COMING FROM. ITS REFRESHING TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THINGS, AND ALSO HAVE HER BE SO SUPPORTIVE AND SO EXCITED FOR MY NEW LIFE. THEY ALSO JUST FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE EXPECTING AGAIN, SO IT WAS FUN TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND HER WORRIES/EXCITEMENT ABOUT HAVING TWO KIDS. I JUST KNOW HOW EXHAUSTED I AM WITH JUST CAE... I REMEMBER HOW EXHAUSTED I WAS JUST BEING PREGNANT... I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW TIRED I WOULD BE HAVING BOTH OF THOSE TOGETHER! HOWEVER I DID TELL HER HOW EXCITED ILL BE NEXT TIME AROUND. RYAN WAS NEVER THAT INTUNED TO MY NEEDS OR THAT EXCITED IN GENERAL. IT WAS WEIRD, WHEN HE TALKED ABOUT IT HE'D BE STOKED, BUT NEVER DID I GET A FOOT/BACK RUB, AND HE WAS NEVER ALL UP ON MY BELLY WAITING FOR CAE TO MOVE OR KICK. I TOLD HER THAT I JUST KNOW JOSH WILL BE THE EXACT OPPOSITE. HE JUST GETS ME. I DONT NEED TO ASK TO HAVE MY SHOULDERS RUBBED IF IVE HAD A LONG DAY, HE JUST DOES IT. MAKES ME EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE I GUESS :DD

[ON THAT NOTE...]
I GET TO MOVE INTO JOSH'S APARTMENT IN EARLY NOVEMBER. SO STOKED. A LITTLE WEIRD ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS (AKA: EX GFS THAT HAVE LIVED THERE...) BUTTTTT I THINK AS SOON AS I MAKE IT MY OWN AND HAVE MY OWN STUFF, ILL START FEELING LIKE ITS MINE TOO. I LOVE HIS APARTMENT. THE COMPLEX IS SUPER SMALL, SO YOU DONT FEEL LIKE ITS AN APARTMENT. ITS CLOSER TO THE BEACH THAN MY APT (AND THATS SAYING SOMETHING, IF YOUVE BEEN TO MY APT). AND THE BEST PART IS THERE IS A HUGE YARD! CAN'T WAIT TO LET CAE RUN FREE! ESP BECAUSE HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS HAVE TWO KIDS (3 AND 2) SO CAE WILL HAVE LIL FRIENDS! AND ALL OF THEIR TOYS... MUA HA HA.
DOWN FALLS... ITS SET UP A LITTLE WEIRD; THE BEDROOMS ARE RIGHT OFF THE LIVING AREA (INSTEAD OF DOWN A HALL). ONLY 2 WASHER/DRYER FOR THE COMPLEX... AND NO DISHWASHER (WHICH IS FINE, I WENT 20 YEARS WITHOUT ONE, I CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT). AND NO PETS... WE WILL GET A DOG ONE DAY *SHAKES FIST. IM A LITTLE SAD TO LEAVE CARLSBAD... AND BY A LITTLE I MEAN A LOT. BUT I LIKE TO THINK THAT I EMBRACE CHANGE AND IT WILL BE NICE TO GET TO KNOW LEUCADIA AND ALL ITS QUIRKINESS.

[OTHER RANDOM NOTE...]
I CANCELLED DVR AND EXPANDED CABLE YESTERDAY.... CAE WAS AT RYANS AND IT WAS SO AWESOME TO JUST NOT WATCH TV. JOSH AND I TALKED FOR A COUPLE HOURS, AND IT WAS AMAZING. I GUESS YOU DONT REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU DO WATCH TV AND HOW MUCH IT PULLS YOU AWAY FROM QUALITY TIME. I GUESS EVERYONE KNOWS THIS, BUT ITS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU REALIZE IT AND THE ROLE IT PLAYS IN YOUR LIFE. I USUALLY HAVE TV AS BACKGROUND NOISE, OR SESAME STREET TO DISTRACT CAE WHILE I WORK... IM SURE WE ARE ALL A LITTLE GUILTY. BUT LAST NIGHT REALLY WAS AMAZING. ITS ONE OF THOSE TIMES WHERE YOU REALLY WANT TO JUST GET RID OF IT ALL TOGETHER AND NOT RAISE YOUR KIDS ON IT. IM A LITTLE EXCITED. ILL JUST HAVE TO WATCH MY EPISODES OF TEEN MOM AND BIGGEST LOSER ONLINE... HHAHA.

ON WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY MORNINGS I HAVE TO GET CAELUM AT RYANS HOUSE AT 4:45 AM... AND I LEAVE AT THE TIME MY SPRINKLERS ARE ON (OF COURSE, BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD LEAVE THE HOUSE AT 4:30AM)... THIS MORNING I MADE IT OUT A MINUTE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE... I DIDN'T GET SPRAYED! SO STOKED, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A SIGN THAT TODAY WAS GOING TO BE AWESOME. I GUESS IT STILL CAN BE, ITS ONLY 6AM... BUTTTT I GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MILES MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. OF FREAKIN COURSE. HAHA. THANK GOODNESS JOSH AND TYLER ARE AWESOME AT CARS... I JUST HOPE ITS NOT ANYTHING TOO MAJOR. ITS DIED A COUPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS OR SO, BUT USUALLY ONLY IN PARKING LOTS AT REALLY SLOW SPEEDS, SO IT WAS WEIRD IT DID IT ON THE FREEWAY... WE SHALL SEE. CROSS YOUR FINGERS!


ALRIGHTY. I THINK THAT IS ENOUGH FOR TODAY....
THANKS FOR LISTENIN ;D
