Today was mostly relaxing. I made pulled chicken and the trick for shredding your chicken/pork/whatever meat you want to shred is to use a hand/stand mixer. BRILLIANT! Something that used to take me 15-20 minutes to do using 2 forks now takes a matter of seconds with a hand mixer!!! I love when I can make women's work easier. Our plan to move the furniture into the dining room was not accomplished. My husband played RIFT most of the day.. One day just to entertain myself I might log on to his account and sell his gear. LOL I probably won't, but it cracks me up to even think that I would do that.
2 weeks until the cruise!!!!! I'm so pumped up!!!!!! Of all the things I could even fathom doing in Mexico, buying one of those Mexican looking jackets, and buying a TON of pure Mexican vanilla is on my list!! Sometimes, I am super easy to please. Just thinking of getting to know new friends and spending time with old friends makes me so excited. I am mentally packed. I know what I'm wearing most days, how my hair is, what most of my activities will be. Most people have put my mind at ease, because I was very fearful about waiting in a ton of lines and having crazy kids running around everywhere.
I really need to start yoga and other forms of mediation, I honestly think if I were more centered with 2 situations in my life I would be much better off. Thanksgiving is coming faster than I can even think! Which makes me think Christmas isn't much further behind (but I've already been prepping for that). Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of my least favorite holidays. Because I have to be with my family.

Happy Hot Mess Week
Golly! I really think that blogging is beneficial for me to track my growth. This year has been such a year of growth. We're in October now, and I'm so excited to see what's in store for me throughout the rest of the year. I've grown so much personally and professionally this year. I've squashed some grudges and really started to focus on the most important things in life.
A new development that Curtis and I have been talking about so much and exhausting the topic. We are super close to redoing the layout of our downstairs. Moving the kitchen into the current "living room" and turning the old kitchen into a half bath and storage closet. When this is done we will hopefully sell this house within the next year and pursue a larger home. I really want to stay in Kalamazoo because of the promise. I would hate for our future/not even planned children to be stuck with education debt. Plus there are a lot of things that I want in the next house, like storage space. I've realized we have so much stuff and not enough places to put things. And I'm crazy excited for a floor plan that makes sense, not odd shaped, etc.
I'm super pumped up about the cruise, and Leslie and Greg's wedding. Also we're going to visit a friend of mine in November for her birthday!! I'm excited to kick off the holidays this year. My birthday kicks off the week of Thanksgiving this year.
I checked the moon cycle this week because I don't know what is going on people, I've been working with a bunch of cray crays. I know people who work in certain industries swear that a full moon is when the crazys come out. Maybe this week is an exception.
