All Consuming

My exam is on Thursday and that trumps absolutely everything else.  I can’t even think straight.  I just keep thinking, “the function of the pancreas is…” and “which reflexes would you work for someoe who has (insert condition)?” and “the reflexes that belong in the nervous system are…” and so on and so forth.  As I’m falling asleep at night I’m thinking.  As I’m driving I’m thinking.  While my kids play outside, I’m studying.  It consumes me.

And on Thursday…it will be over.  Then I’ll be able to blog about something.  I just can’t think right now.

So you’ll get the Coldplay overview.  And I’ll catch up on my month of missing pictures on my photo blog.  And I’ll tell you how I joined a Biggest Loser competition in my community.  And other fun stuff like how my daughter runs around naked in our front yard and she’s almost 4.

You see?  My life has other stuff, just right now reflexology is all I can think about.  So bear with me.  I’m almost done :)

Okay, that’s all.  Just had to get that out of my system :)

A Beautiful Problem

I have a problem.

And now my problem is about to explode into one of epic proportions!

Umm…

I LOVE makeup.  Love it.  A lot!  Shortly after my trip to Minneapolis, like say about 1/2 an hour, I became addicted to doing fun things with my makeup.  ”Oooh, look at all pretty colors…that one matches my shirt!”  ”I’m bored, I should go watch YouTube videos on how to apply blue eyeshadow!”  So now every morning is an experiment to see what I can do with my eye makeup.

And THEN (here’s where the problem of epic proportions comes in) 13 days ago Sephora opened a store in our city.

Sigh…

Tonight, I shop.

Hopefully tomorrow I don’t regret.

Either way, my makeup will look frickin’ AWESOME!!  :)

Life and Times

WOW, so almost two months since I’ve made an appearance here!?  That’s pretty pathetic.  :)  In all honesty, I just haven’t been in the head-space to blog.  Perhaps it’s because nothing very exciting has happened to warrant blogging, perhaps it’s just because it has been two months of craziness, busyness, and…f.e.e.t!

I am 2 days away from finishing my course in reflexology, 16 days from writing my exam, 45 sessions away from completing my practicum and a couple months from certifying…if i pass!  I’m really, really enjoying it and I always feel on the verge of learning something new and exciting!  It’s been so good for me and hopefully it’s good for everyone that I’ve gotten to practice on :)

And really, other than that there’s not much exciting to report.

  • I’ve gained weight…awesome.
  • I still haven’t made my running goal…I’ve gotten about half way (3 miles).
  • Spring has yet to arrive…my plants actually FROZE the other night…in JUNE…FROZEN!!!
  • My hair has petrified from all the hairspray and lack of washing it during the past week of craziness.
  • We haven’t sold our house, but it’s only been a month since we listed it and have had a number of showings…so my house is generally cleaner than it has ever been.
  • When I’m not doing reflexology, I’m found behind my camera taking pictures of the newly budding plants and flowers.
  • That said, I’m about 2 weeks behind on my Photo blog.  I have the pictures, just haven’t had time to post them :(
  • Um…I’m drinking a smoothie right now…
  • I have loads and loads of laundry to fold.

So as you can see dullness abounds.  Pretty much the highlight of the past few weeks has been watching “The Bachelorette” with my girlfriends.  Possibly the reason I’ve gained weight, as well, what with all the food we consume.  I think I’m just going to drink smoothies for the next week.

I’ll try not to leave this so long again.  Very, very bad of me, I know, but in my defence, I guess I rather would have been silent than bore you all to tears with my useless meandering drivel, which is about all I had in me recently.  Even this…I’m having a hard time hitting the publish button on this, but guilt consumeth me.  I feel compelled to update.

You never know…an adventure could await me around the next corner!!!

Oh wait.  That’s just my laundry.  Hmph.
