Random Sunday

I made up Random Sunday because I have nothing specific to write about and today's Sunday. So here is my first Random Sunday. :)

* Liam's first trip to Lake Winnie was a success! At first, he was a little very hesitant about riding anything. I got onto a ride with him (little parachutes), and he wanted nothing to do with them. So we got off before the ride started. Next, I tried the flying Dumbo ride. I seriously forced him onto it. He screamed and cried. But by the time we were in the air, he was just quiet. I pointed out all the geese in the lake that is in the middle of the park and he calmed down some. But as soon as the elephants started going down, he freaked. But who can blame him when the ride makes this really loud noise as it's descending. Ha. He ended riding a bunch more rides. I think the antique cars were his favorite. We rode it like 4 times.

* Liam got sick last week for only about 6 hours. Throwing up everything, fever, crying. He was miserable. Well, I made the mistake of kissing him right on the lips the next day and ended getting sick myself for 2 days! And, my mom and dad got sick so it was an awful week for everyone. The day I got sick (which was 2 days after Liam), I didn't get sick until that night. Well, I decided to clean the filter above our stove with a homemade cleaner that I found on Pinterest. You basically boil a huge pot of water and put about half a cup of baking soda in it. Then you just let the filter sit and watch the grease literally melt off. The only awful thing about it was the smell. If you can ever imagine the smell of cooking metal, it is one of the worst smells in the entire world. Especially when you aren't feeling good. Well, the smell will forever be etched into my brain because everytime I even think about it, I am extremely grossed out. Never again will I clean that dang filter.

* I failed again. Well, more like quit. I haven't mentioned that I quit the shred, I haven't run in forever (until this morning) and I am so eating awful again! I hate myself sometimes for allowing this! I'm trying so hard to change but I can't seem to find that determination that I used to have. Where did it go? I need it! I talked with Michelle yesterday at Scarlet's birthday party-which was super adorable Yo Gabba Gabba themed-and I convinced her to run a 5k with me! Ya! I got off my lazy butt and actually went out and ran today. I decided I wasn't ready for the 5k in June so I won't be doing that one. But I am doing the one in July-the Firecracker 5k-and am super excited! I started the Couch to 5k this morning and it is so different than how I usually run. Usually, I run for as long as I can, then walk when I get tired and then run again. But doing it consistently is so different. I was sweating within 5 minutes! Ha, but tomorrow Michelle is gonna start training with me. :)

*Last night, I went to a friend's birthday party. We ate at North Shore Grille, then headed to Top of the Dock. I got a drink at North Shore and let me tell you, it felt good. I don't think I've had a drink since before I got pregnant with Liam. So, it was nice to let loose and be baby free for the night. We partied it up at Top of the Dock, which I am not a big fan of. It is seriously all middle aged guys looking to get some. We were the youngest ones there. Haha. But, we all had a blast. We danced and drank and our waitress was horrible. But we had fun. Some guys showed up that I graduated with. There were probably about 16 of us from our class and it felt like a mini high school reunion. So much fun! 

 (Oh, and if you can tell by the pictures, I FINALLY got my hair done with the ombre look! I love it! And, this is Ashley, it was her and Jessica's 23rd birthday earlier in the week.)

*I went to a Thirty One party 2 weeks ago. I love me some 31. Thirty One is a company that sells the most adorable bags, lunch boxes, totes, baskets, etc. The best part is, they are all embroidered with your name, initials, fave quotes. I have a bajillion of them. Liam has a few also but they are mainly for girls. Anyways, I talked with the consultant about becoming one myself. Since I am not planning on getting a job until after my dumb jaw surgery, I really need some sort of income. I am losing it here. All I have to do is pay $99 for my starter kit and I'm ready to go. I host parties, have friends host parties, sell items and I'm on my way to making some mula. And I'm excited about it!

 

Cute, right?! LOVE!

Well, that's all I got. Sorry, it's taken me so long to write. I'll try to keep up better. :)
