Typically, I lead a crazy, hectic life. For example, I hosted 26 High School Students at my home. They are part of the Rocky Mountain District Key Club, their board to be specific. They are a wonderful group of high school students whom I love working with. They ate and slept at my home. They bring their sleeping bags and most camp out on the floor. The Governor gets the guest bedroom….perks of being “King”. Usually every weekend I have something going, so when I come to a weekend like this past one and I didn’t have anything crammed packed into it, I felt off. I felt like I was missing out…..on something….anything. Although the whole weekend wasn’t all relaxing I do have to help an adult child move on Sunday/Monday. I did get to enjoy my husband and my home and watch the hummingbirds for once. It was a real treat, but it felt wrong and I feel that is wrong to feel wrong. I have to learn to relax and smell the flowers; I suppose. However, I guess I just wasn’t wired to relax. So next weekend I will have about a dozen High School students from our local Key Club Board stay the weekend and plan their year. I love being involved with youth.
Speaking of moving a child, that leads my brain to decorating. I like to freshen up the look of my home and typically on a whim and usually late in the day when stores are closed. So to give a different look to an area, say a mantle or a shelf, gather different objects of the same color and display them. For instance I noticed I had different candles, vases, a wine glass that were all purple and all within a shade or two of each other. I arranged them all on a fireplace mantle. It gave it a nice decorator touch and I spent zero dollars doing this. The best part is all the compliments I get from people saying how beautiful, clever, ingenious and/or classy it looks. You can change depending on the seasons or your mood. Just have fun with it and if you don’t care for it you can always change it back.
I added to the recipe and the beauty page and the loss log. I am still at a plateau but I must admit I have been horrible on the water intake, I also started beefing up my exercise routine and my muscles were pretty sore, which means water retention too. We shall see if it starts going down this next week. If not I will continue working at it.
As always,
Breathe Chic
