{ Back to reality }

Hey, y'all!

I know I've been scarce in the blogosphere but I am alive and well. I got back from my Disney World trip on Sunday and have been doing some nannying for a friend of my Madre's. Now that it's beginning to settle in that I'm back from vacation and will be a permanent fixture in Texas for the next couple of months, it's about time to get back into a routine. I'm always much more productive when I have some type of schedule. If I don't, I end up watching Laguna Beach online and eating Shipley's Donuts (true story.)

So, on the to do list for getting my routine together goes something like this:

-Figure out a workout routine for the summer (as in, if I'm going to try to become a member at a gym which I really don't want to pay for, or if I can be creative and use the park for workouts and deal with the sweltering heat and/force myself to workout before the sun is blazing)

-Get Texas drivers license (dreading. dreading. dreading.)

-Get my room organized (hang up my clothes and stop living out of a suitcase)

-Apply/Respond to posts for a second nanny job

-Finish enrollment for one or two summer classes at the community college here (also dreading. dreading. dreading. I always feel like these processes will be way complicated)

-Open an account at a TX bank so I have somewhere to put the money I make this summer.

-Help my Madre get the new house painted and pretty.

-Find some way to be creative this summer. Perhaps volunteer at a theater if time permits.

-Get back to blogging =)

I have a lot of posts that I've been thinkin' up the past couple of days. Starting with a post on Disney World (I miss it already) so stay tuned!

I've been browsing for inspiration for the outdoor space here at my Madre's, and came across this little lady. Don't you want to serve brunch here and sip iced tea? Lovely.

Talk to you soon,
