The Couch Potato


Our newest little nephew Colton Levi Tenney has made it here safely and is the cutest little monkey man I've ever seen! I can't get enough of the little guy! Congrats to the Tenney family!


I got a new job. I start next week. I am vair vair excited! There also happens to be a gym in my new place of employment that I will be able to use anytime I want. Which means there is a chance I will start working out again. Hopefully I will motivate myself to do so.

I feel that I am in a funk. (flashes of the Glee episode titled FUNK are going thru my head) Lately I have watched 4 seasons of Bones and my most exciting news is that I just got 20 kills on Call of Duty Black Ops. (which by the way, really is exciting. and yes, its embarrassing but I think I have become more of a gamer than Dan is.) Anyway, I think I need to be doing something better and more fulfilling with my time. There are a few things I would like to make: pillows to match my new bedspread, curtains, some decorations for the walls, and a skirt from this really cute fabric I got forever ago. I also would like to sit down and write out an actual budget for us to follow. And I would like to read some new books. But every day when I wake up, instead of getting going with my day I curl up on the couch for a few hours and watch tv shows. Then I eat and go to work til 10:30. I think my new job (which is 9-5) will help me have more of a constant schedule so maybe I will be able to plan to do other things too. I dunno, how do I motivate myself to not be so lazy? Maybe I should give myself treats when I do something worthwhile... like chocolate.

Something that was very worthwhile is, Dan took me on a date. It was very romantic. There is a movie theater right by our house and all tickets are only 3 bucks. They aren't new releases but they aren't dollar theater movies yet. Also, you can get a large popcorn for 2 bucks, a large soda for 2 bucks, and candy for a dollar! We saw the new Narnia movie which I loved. We got some of everything and ate ourselves silly. It was wonderful.

So this post is kind of all over the place but thats the way it goes. :) :)

Haha I'm the same way with school. Get up, go to class, eat, watch tv, study, blah blah blah.

Oh, but when you start reading more books, you should read Shiver. It's excellent :)
