Blue Office (Love it or Hate it?)

So as many of you know John and I haved moved to Midland and are working on remodeling our new home (I'll have before and after pics up soon)!! John has been working furiously, pulling out carpet and scrapping popcorn off the ceilings. We have now started to discuss paint because this is the next thing on our to do list before the new hardwood floors go in! The other day John brought home a block of about 2,000 paint samples. I did not know that so many colors and variations of one color even existed. I was exhausted just thinking about having to choose. I don't care about spending hours choosing colors for the house so I am willing to let John take on that responsibilty. However I have stood my ground firmly about one room in our new home..the office! I have always wanted a blue office (and a blue formal dining room as well) and I already have a vision for the way I want the office to look! Because the room is small we want to have one long desk with 2 chairs and shelving above it (see my idea of how I want the desk to look below)! I cant wait for this room to be done..Im so excited..we have narrowed the blue color down to Sherwin Williams Blue Plate! However im wondering if I will get tired of the blue..So what do you think of a blue office? Love it or Hate it?? Here are some blue offices that I have seen and like...tell me what you think!!

Sherwin Williams..Blue Plate

I'm digging the zig zag rugs

our desk setup will be model after this desk but blue of course

I hope to have this dining room one day..the next house..hopefully

Sugar Ray

So random thought for the day..this morning on my drive to work I found myself listening to the 90's station on Sirius/Xm radio when all the sudden Sugar Ray came on. I haven't heard Sugar Ray in forever and I found myself singing along and suprised at myself that I still remembered all the lyrics to Fly. When Sugar Ray first came on the scene in the 90's..I was like whoa that's one good lookin man..Im speaking of Mark McGrath. So of course as Im singing I am thinking whatever happen to Sugar Ray and why did Mark McGrath sell his band out to become and entertainment reporter on Extra/ host of Don't Forget the Lyrics. Mark I just don't undertand..you were making hits and your good looks helped your band keep constant followers. At this point in my drive Im starting to get angry at Mark McGrath for becoming a sell out sorta like when I got mad at Pat Green (but that's another story). As soon as I got to work I decide to google Sugar Ray and Mark McGrath and to my suprise I found that I judged Mark McGrath too soon!! So in case you are wondering Sugar Ray is still together..however they did go on a hiatus for a little bit but they are back and making music! In fact they are having a sumer tour this summer with lots of other lost 90's bands including Everclear, Lit, Gin Blossoms, and Marcy's Playground...I would maybe kind of want to check this tour out! I would like to take this time to apologize to Mark McGrath for thinking he sold out Sugar Ray for a gig in entertainment reporting! Good Luck Sugar Ray..hope you guys can make a comeback!!

Sweet pic of Sugar Ray from the 1990's

Mark's hair hasn't changed much since the 90's

Working on my Fitness with NTC

Summer is here and I know I probably should have started amping up my workouts back in January but hey it's never too late to start getting into a healthier lifestyle routine! Since we are going to Mexico at the end of July I have really been working on eating better and working out 5-6 times a week. A friend recently told me about the Nike workouts she does and now I must share with all of you my new obsession with the Nike Training Club App. I have finally found a badass workout that really works!! The NTC app is awesome...it's like I have my own personal trainer in my very own living room or bedroom. You don't need a lot of room or materials for these workouts but they will make you sweat like a pig and when it's over you really feel like you have had the best workout ever! It's hard work and trust me you will feel the pain and soreness the next day but it's worth it. First you choose your goal and fitness level then you choose from over 80 workouts that will help you get lean, toned, or strong. There are videos that show you how to do every move correctly and you can pause take a look at the video and then resume the 15, 30 or 45 minute workout. The best part about the NTC app is that it is FREE..yes FREE...so download it and try it..trust my you won't be disappointed. If you have any other workouts that you would like to share leave them on the comments are....I love discovering new ways to jazz up my fitness time!!

New Career

As many of you may know John and I are in the process of moving back to Midland. We will still keep our place in Austin till the end of the summer (our vacation home) but we have moved back to Midland temporarily (few years). After many discussions and pros and cons lists we decided that Midland would be the best place for us right now. We are going to miss Austin very much and we are so sad to leave! We want to be with family right now and Lydia (my mom) offered me a position at Express Nursing with generous pay. I have accepted this offer and I started my new career last week! I am the director of finances which means I balance money all day and deal with medicare!! I know this new career transition has been tough on my bff Sarah because she no longer has anyone to talk to during the day..but this transition has been tough on me as well...it's kinda hard getting up at 6am!! On my first day of work I was 30 minutes late and spilled hot tea all over myself and burned my lips...I miss college!!!! It's been a crazy 2 weeks at my new career and I'm constantly asking my co-workers questions but overall I think I'm going to like it here..plus I get my first pay check today!!
