12 ON THE 12TH: JANUARY

I'm back! At least I think I am ... I sat down earlier today to try post something and felt a little unfocused. And right now I should be crawling into bed, but I'm only "downstairs tired" (which comes from when we lived in a 2 story place where our room was upstairs. I frequently would be sleepy laying on the couch and drag Chad to bed with me, only to end up wide awake talking Chad's ear off while he out in no time. "upstairs tired" is when I'm tired enough to actually fall asleep once I hit the sheets.)

So I'm downstairs tired and tired of the tv. I'm thinking about the 7 month wedding reminder from The Knot that showed up in my email today and that I need to re-engage myself in planning. I thought I'd catch up on some wedding blogs, but first went through a few others that I like to visit.

I came across "12 on the 12th". From the few I saw I suppose the goal is to take 12 photos of your day each month on the 12th and share. Today is the 13, so this is a day late. And also with made up pictures because it's been awhile since I've taken any. Will get back on track with wedding planning later.

1 - This is Joel Dewberry fabric, which I've yet to get my hands on. Got quite a bit of fabric at JoAnns and Hobby Lobby in recent visits.

2 - I made brownies the other night but haven't eaten any yet. I think all I really wanted was some brownie batter!

3 - My brother will be done with his graduate program this spring. Hope to go to his graduation.

4 - Grey's makes my Thursday nights. It's my "almost the weekend, just get through tomorrow" fix for weeks that just seem long.

5 - I need my chips!! Chad is a chip maniac and I haven't been able to find my favorites since being in TX. Got a suggestion from work on where to find them. I now have a mission for the weekend ...

6 - Our wedding reception will be at the Baxter. At least this much is planned! There's actually more than that planned, so we're not procrastinating too much.

7 - Starting to admit that I miss the snowy Montana mountains. It's not right for TX to be so cold right now and now have anything wintery to look at!

8 - I'm ready for vacation from my vacation. What I mean is that even though we've lived here for almost 4 months now it doesn't always feel like it, and that it's somehow just a vacation, that I'm on hold and time is just passing until we get some railroad news or for the wedding.

9 - We watch a lot of House Hunters and each one makes this apartment feel smaller and smaller. I'm ready for some space!

10 - Excited to see this movie!

11 - I would do just about anything for a day at the spa. One negative thing about working with kids is how it kills my body!

12 - Again ... living in limbo. I go back and forth between being okay and needing answers for what the next year has planned.
