Eat, Pray, Love

Is anyone else reading this? This book is wonderful. A friend and I have been reading it together (yes we are adorable). It is amazing how two different people at two very different stages of life truly relate to this woman. I feel as though I am going on this journey with her. When she was in Italy all I wanted to do was eat and enjoy myself. I found myself daydreaming of sitting at the edge of Venice at night (although she didn't love Venice), or walking the streets of Rome (hoping not to find Miles under my bed this time of course **inside joke**), doing anything anywhere in Italy as long as it was relaxing and as long as I had a few scoops of gelato with me. Now that I am in India with her, the guilt of overeating seems to have traveled with me. But now I am marveling at the self-discipline, especially since I don't have a shred. I yearn to do more yoga and am seriously contemplating hardcore meditation. What does this mean about me? Am I that easily swayed? Or has this woman truly found a journey? Anyone looking for a good read, I suggest it!

I have a lot of time on my hands at work so if anyone has read anything good lately, please pass it on. PS couldn't put down Hunger Games and Catching Fire.

Graveyard Gab...

Well, it has been a while since I have blabbed on in the middle of the night. This is not because of a lack of issues to post about, I usually just assume it is better to not discuss my issues with the general public. There has been a lot going on:

- I am officially a full-time employee of the State of Utah. It was a long process but we were pretty excited about it. It hasn't been as big of an adjustment as I thought it would be. I think the fact that I was trying to juggle two part time jobs before and figure out schedules and babysitters was more difficult. Now that I know that I have one job to focus on (and this was definitely the easier of the two) my brain is starting to function at least a little bit better. I do miss teaching, it took me a little while but I really do. I have dreams about it all of the time. There just aren't really many teaching jobs open here in the valley. Hopefully that turns around in the next few years. My job is easy and relatively stress free so at least I come home feeling good, well at least after I get some sleep. I work 4 graves a week but they aren't all that bad. I actually call it "me" time. It is the time I have to read what I want, to watch what I want, to surf the web. It can actually be quite relaxing.

- We are remodeling our kitchen!! When we moved into our house 4 years ago we started out painting, slowly redoing floors, nothing destructive really. Our brother-in-law, Brady, does custom cabinets, flooring, pretty much anything, I think of him as our general contractor. Anyway, we finally decided to tackle the kitchen and I'm thrilled. I will post before pictures soon and it should be done this week. I can't wait!

- I just finished Hunger Games and Catching Fire. Loved them! If anyone is looking for a good read!

- Lee Roy and Molly are bonding well. Whenever she hears him barking she goes to the window and likes to bark back. They both like four wheeler rides and both think they are much bigger than they are.

- I can't wait to get out the kiddie pool!
