girl's night with my sweet lady Jaclyn// constantly craving to be in my comfy bed. I've been more fatigued lately// packing healthy lunches// cooking dinners often. all the fresh produce helps// enjoying more evenings in the back yard// my coneflowers are breath-taking this year!// meet Mavrick our new store kitty. he was a stray that I bribed with food to come near. 4 days later he's such a sweet friendly little guy.he's already earned his keep.// my blueberries keep disappearing.... I finally managed to pick a few for myself.// evening harvest of a heirloom tomato and my first artichoke from the garden. it was delicious.

I talked myself into Pilates Monday night. It had been too long. I never regret a workout and I'm so glad I went. This week seems to be on a better path because of it. Plus I was able to make it to Yoga Wednesday morning {before the dentist}it was exactly what I needed {as always}. I'm looking forward to yoga tomorrow morning too. Summer has managed to keep me away from the gym so far. I've enjoyed living life but am glad I'm getting back into the swing of working out.
Mitch and I had planned on going up to Bear Lake next weekend. Financing don't agree with that idea. We've decided to spend that vacation time at home and are very much looking forward to it. Perhaps I'm turning into an oldie.... I prefer spending time at home.
We have been living it up the last few weekends. After Abby's wedding we had her darling friend Vanessa stay the night with us and we all went out to a late night movie. Boy did my body revolt against me. I did have a wonderful time with Vanessa, Peter and Mitch though. Mitch and Joe talked me into another late night movie last Saturday. I was smart enough to drink some caffeine before going. We saw the new Batman. Amazing show. Surprised I handled the lateness so well {thank you Caffeine} and perhaps that's the reason I've continued being more exhausted. Mitch and I felt 'young' again {pre-wedding} since we were out so late.
On a morbid note... I'm grateful to know that if Mitch were to ever pass and my Nanna wasn't married that she would totally move in with me. Mitch and I talked a little about it since I saw the updated life insurance on the table today. He said he'd want me to sell the house and move home. In my mind I'm thinking no way jose. I'd stay in our cute little home with my charming yard and with my two fur babies. I would be happy. Moving home {I love you family but....} not my happy thought. Good thing Mitch isn't going anywhere soon!!! PHEW.
My goal tonight was to come home and weed out two large buckets of weeds. Mitch went shooting with Joe and Chase. So it was perfect for me to spend time in the yard. I'm not someone to easily jump back into things when I'm spooked {my unwelcome snake visitor}. Even though the last two weeks I've mowed I haven't had any surprises.... I was nervous weeding out my flower bed. I harnessed Jake and Cezar up and had them hang out with me. What a fabulous solution to my anxiety problem. The boys loved being out front and I was able to dig around in the my flowers. I was quickly reminded how therapeutic gardening is for me {even if it's simply pulling out weeds}. I also trimmed off the runners on my strawberries and gave my ginormous tomatoes a haircut. in hopes of getting better light and air circulation into the center of the plant. Crossing my fingers... I can't wait to eat more heavenly goodness from my own little garden.
