Pioneer Trek Preview

Wish me luck. . . . I'm off at 5 am tomorrow. So far all of my pioneer clothes are ironed and ready to go, but I am not sure if I am going to be able to fit them in "the bucket". I am even taking my original pioneer bonnet that my mom made for me in like 1984. I love that pioneer bonnet. Somehow I have "lost" a pair of bloomers. Seriously, who looses a pair of bloomers!? I make a pretty darn cute pioneer all decked out(and I am just cute in real life, so being a cute pioneer is to be expected). We'll see how mud looks on my skirts. . . .

I think I'll call and schedule a pedicure for Saturday at 5:30 pm.

Has been busy trying to win!

Right now I am busy trying to WIN (like place in the top 5) the BYU wellness challenge. Since April 29th I have been keeping track of all the "steps" that I take each day and how much water I am drinking.

There are equivalents that you use for running or riding the bike. . . both of which I have been doing a lot of lately. (Pictures to come at a future time)

So far I have a total of 1, 533, 728 steps and I am in 5th place. If I drop out of 5th place I don't get a prize.

Probably should have added some extra steps or miles in on Friday or Saturday to secure my spot. (like meaning I should have walked more. . . not that I should have just added steps!)

I NEVER win anything, so I think I should win just because of that.

I don't even know what I get if I win. Probably a BYU water bottle or something.

Watch for future posts about all the fun things I have been doing while taking these 1, 533, 728 steps!

(and if someone beats me who took 1, 533, 732 steps or something like that I am going to be REALLY upset)

Makes lists about her lists. . .

It is true.

I am a list maker and I am not at all ashamed about this.

I love my lists.

It is summer once again so the lists have come out of hiding and I am loving every morning that I wake up and think "HOORAY! What is on my list for today?!"

Messed up. Probably, but you should see my clean bathrooms that I seriously attacked with an old toothbrush and cleaner. Every corner, countertop and toilet is sparkling clean, like REALLY clean. I love checking things off of my list. (and I get to clean the bathrooms again next Wednesday. . it is on the weekly cleaning list).

Memorial Day weekend I finished a project from like a month ago and checked it off my list.

Step #1 -- old frames from DI ready to be painted

Step #2-- Spray paint. I love that stuff.

Yes, I wore a dress while I did this project. . . . why change when you look cute? I think that the people at Home Depot didn't take me seriously when I was buying my spray paint. Little did they know the buying potential that I have!


Step #3 -- Put vinyl inside of large frame and hang frames in an eclectic fashion.


I am pretty pleased with how it turned out and so happy that it is checked off of my list!
