To be blogged...
I keep thinking to myself "I need to blog this" or "I can't forget to blog this. Really, it'd get everyone laughing". And then I sit down to blog and all coherent thoughts leave my brain. I stare blankly at the screen and start to wonder how many hours of sleep I got last night and how I really need to go clean toilets. Gross.
I'm starting to wonder how people find time to blog at all. With our new layout in the new house, the computer is upstairs in a separate bedroom. Part of me LOVES it because it is less easy to just plop myself down on the computer every 30 minutes to check my email obsessively. On the other hand, I also don't like it for that very reason. I guess I have become too dependent on my computer/email/iTunes (never!) and checking our bank account to make sure nothing bounces. Judge us why don't you.

So this post is going to be a smorgasbord of what is on my mind.
- TV
- My back
- Good books
- Fall
- Unpacking
- Hair styles

Now that I work at home, I am sitting in a chair for about 4 hours every night. It isn't an expensive chair by any means, and my back/butt are really starting to ache. (Mostly my neck and back). No, I don't want to go to a chiropractor--they are kooky. I just want someone to deliver a VERY expensive chair to my doorstep. Please?
Tonight I tried sitting on one of these for the last hour and it was nice. I got some exercises done that I'm too embarrassed to mention here. But I felt productive :) Any other exercise suggestions for sitting on a big ball for a few hours?
*******************
I absolutely love this book.
If you need a motivational, easy read, this is the book for you. I read it in 2 days (this is big for me people...I like to take my time). But it was a complete page turner from the very beginning. It's about a woman who lost several children in the most devastating ways & how she turned her sorrow into an outlet for her to do a complete 180 on her physical, spiritual and emotional health. She went from a couch potato to a marathon runner (her words, not mine). I can't wait to read it again. I feel like I could use the inspiration right now.
*******************
Fall is in the air and I am giddy. My good friend Val coined a phrase that I have adopted. "I just got an excitement bug".
You know the feeling. A little jump in your stomach or a little butterfly of excitement. I've been getting "excitement bugs" this whole week. I'm ready to bust out the fall scented candles, wear sweaters, go to pumpkin patches and go take pictures of all the beautiful leaves. Fall is the time of year that reminds me the most how beautiful this world is...and how lucky we are to be a part of it. Sure, I love summer--but FALL is the best. Hands down.
*******************
Unpacking is like losing weight. At first, you are REALLY motivated and you can't wait to start seeing progress. You do really well at first and are SO proud of your achievements. Somehow, you start to lose steam. It gets harder and harder to reach your goal and the last few boxes (pounds) are almost impossible to get rid of! Just had to get that analogy out there.
*******************
Lastly, I am in a hair slump. My hair is totally at that awkward stage where it isn't "long" per se, but it's not short and styled. Or cute. Baa! What do I do? My brother sent me this picture from a couple years ago and I really like my hair like this...but I want to grow it out. I can't believe I'm really asking for feedback on my blog about my HAIR of all things. I guess I'm really vain. But seriously--Yay? Nay?

*Amen, Fall is by far the BEST season. can't wait!
*I actually love unpacking. too bad I don't liv close, otherwise I'd come help you :)
*And finally, and most important, I LOVE your hair in this picture. So cute!
I really like your hair lately Rae (from all the pictures I've seen). I think you should let it grow. When I get bored, I cut bangs! YAY FOR BANGS! hahahah "my hair is so now!" (name the movie) =)
I like your hair either way. I do the same thing. I get bored or it gets to a weird phase where it doesn't seem like it's growing, so I cut it. I would say, do what is easier for you. If it is easier to maintain it long, keep it long. If it is easier to do when it is short, cut it!
What company do you work for?
i TOOO-T-ALLY have an excitement bug for fall. It's so glorious.
I am loving your short hair in that photo. Is that Cole??? Go short! Short and Funkay!
