Randomness

Yesterday I worked out!  I need to be more consistent with it.  I currently like Denise Austen videos.  I also got a country line dancing video but I'm not coordinated at all so I'm embarrassed to do it in front of anyone, even Matt.  Well, anyways I worked out for 10 minutes and couldn't go any further.  I have a hard time sucking my stomach in and breathing at the same time, is that normal?  So I sat down on the floor and ate a donut.  It had sprinkles and it was good!  But my goal of staying my high school weight is not working out, so I have to. 

Tonight my sister and I saw the Glee movie!  It was awesome!  There's a little four year old boy that dances and sings like the Warblers, it's just adorable.  The only downside was no Mr. Schuester :(

I finally bought fabric for curtains.  It's yellow and white and it'll go in the kitchen.  I'll take a picture when I'm done.  Matt and I actually agreed on it, which is practically a miracle.  The first step is to figure out how to thread my machine though.  I need to get more motivated and get my home all pulled together!

I Have the Best Husband!

I heard about a book this guy made called "Where Children Sleep." He went around the world for 3 years taking pictures of kids bedrooms.  There are everywhere from super poor kids to rich kids.  Some sleep on the street or in shacks, and some have houses falling apart.  Some kids have tons of toys and are probably spoiled.  I think it would be a good book to show kids so they can see how bad lots of other people have it.  I think it would be a good way to teach empathy and show them the people Jesus wants us to take care of.  One thing that's wrong with a lot of people in America today is a sense of entitlement; like they think the world owes them.   Not that I'm perfect, but I don't want to raise my kids in the "me" generation.

Today we had a "fun" cleaning day and our apartment finally looks pretty again!  I swear, laundry is taking over my whole life.  It just grows and grows like a big stupid...thing that grows.  I was ill last weekend so I fell behind.  I got a pretty white, lacy dress from Forever 21 today and a white blouse I can wear to work. A lot of my wardrobe is the same as in the beginning of college, I feel like it needs to be updated.  I want to get more professional looking for work.  I've almost been doing research for 2 years!  I've learned a lot.
    
    Matt took care of my when I was sick and forced me to take medicine and drink juice instead of soda!  He is so sweet, I have the best husband.  He told one of our friends "Getting married is the best decision I ever made, its awesome!  It just gets better every day."  Our friend said: "Yeah?  Give it five years."  RUDE. 

     I've picked out some fabric online to start my DIY projects for my apartment!  I'll put my projects on here if I ever get them done.  I'm really bad at starting projects and never finishing.  I have a blanket I started crocheting two years ago.  I only need to do one more round but I ran out of yarn and just never finished.  BAD Julie BAD!
