Sweeping Through Life

Since becoming pregnant, I have realized that there are something that I have had to modify doing around the house or need total assistance with completing. It kinda sucks that I need help with so many things. I have always been very independent so it is hard to give up some control. Everyone keeps stating that I need to enjoy it, but it is kinda hard when you want to get things done. I started  a few weeks ago sending text   or leaving notes for the hubby asking for things that I need him to do such as taking the laundry basket down to the basement for me or making sure that all his dishes are in the sink for me to wash at once so that I can get some housework done when I come home from work so that house does not look like a total wreck and still be able to rest a little. Each day he is doing a little bit more and more with assisting me without all of the text and notes, which is a good thing. Not to say he does not help around the house, but he is just helping me a lit...

As we get ready to go in 2010, I began thinking about what I wanted to accomplish in 2010. I know all I wanted to do for 2009 was get married. I really do not want to make resolutions since so many of us break them, some of us break them within minutes of taking them. I much rather make a to do list, so that I can check off things as I accomplish them. I think that 10 is a good number to start with and as situations or my needs change I can update my list. At the beginning of the year I will add my list to the side of my blog and will occasionally update you on my progress. Well, here is my list, in no particular order: Read 10 books. Try at least 5 new baking and cooking recipes. Save at least $500.00 before the end of 2010.  I am really bad at saving, but I got better when planning for my wedding. Try to keep my closet together. I love to shop so I have lots of clothes, coats and shoes that I need to keep organized. Lots of times my closet just seems to exploded.  My...

I do not think that this was a really fair"thing to do", since I love to read. I tend to read more in the summer when there is nothing on TV. I have already recapped one of the books that I read" Basketball Jones" by E. Lynn Harris. Click here to see what I say about it. E.Lynn Harris was one of my favorite authors and I am sad to say that he passed away in this past weekend. He will truly be missed in the literary world. The second book that I read this summer was, "Queen of Babble Gets Hitched" by Meg Cabot. I happened to walk upon this book at the library and the cover was interesting so I checked out the book. After reading it, it made me want to read the other ones in the series. I did not read them in the right order, this one was the actually the third one in the series. The story follows a girl named Lizzie's journey through her romantic relationship between two best friends, her budding wedding dress business and her wild family. It is a lig...

There a lot of things I need to get done, but I admit I am a procrastinator. I seem to work well under pressure. With all the lovely weather that we are having, all I want to do is sit on the deck with a book or taking a walk with a friend. I need to buckle down and get somethings done. I have created a list on the side of the blog for my family, friends and blogger buddies to keep me on task. I will be updating the list via posting updates and crossing things off my list. Wish me luck..I want to have most of this done before the end of summer. I am hopeful aren't I.
