Something different

I am listening to some new music that I downloaded just a few minutes ago, and for some reason I have never written with music on, so we will see how it goes. I think I may get too distracted, but I know lots of people in the world can listen to music while doing other things. For me, I get really absorbed in the music, so I can listen to it while I run, or while I am in the car, but that's about it, since I listen to every word and sound. It's very distracting! It's a weird exercise though, because I can't hear my voice in my head while I am typing this. My new work schedule is awesome, i get every Monday and Tuesday off and always open Saturday and close Sunday, which means I can have a Saturday night out if I want one. And it's cool because I have a couple days off in a row to get stuff done. Yesterday was Brian/Julie day, and that was so fun! Brian dropped his car off to get an oil change and fix a factory recall issue, and meanwhile we had adventures. We went down to San Marcos to go hit up some outlets, and that was sort of epic, because I went to the gap and every single thing I tried on fit and looked cute, yay diet! After buying some summer clothes, and a MUCH needed new bathing suit for Liam we dropped my car off at the shop to get the key unstuck from the ignition. (funny story, I have been driving with my key stuck in my ignition for 2 weeks!) After that we went to the Slaughter Lane Alamo Drafthouse and watched Cabin in the Woods which I thought was hilarious. It was definitely a little gross and jumpy scary from time to time, but it was pretty funny and a neat premise. I don't know if you should run out and see it on the big screen, but rent it for sure. (Movie review and blog in one! That's money!) After all of that awesomeness we came home and watched 3 episodes of Downton Abbey. It was like a whole vacation wrapped into one very full day! Today is more of a, running errands and realizing I have 4 hours till Liam gets home and have accomplished very little, kind of day. I am going to the brewery to pay for the rental for Amy's shower, getting the tables, linens, chairs etc rentals out of the way, calling a lawyer, and CLEANING. My house is like a home for wayward dust bunnies lately and everyones allergies are suffering! Quick diet update: 9.1 pounds and I am on day 15. I am burnt out on asparagus, iced tea, zucchini, and now strawberries too, but there are lots of other fruits and veggies out there, so I am hanging in there! And for a glimpse of the randomness of Brian, Liam and my life, a sweet story: The other day, Brian came home after going to the HEB in East Austin with a present for me! I have named her Stella and she now lives in the yard!
