Day 22

May 22, 2013January 29, 2015 / LeopardandGrace

*Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel. (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something your husband or roommate or neighbor or boss does that really ticks you off)…*

Is it bad that I am way too excited about this topic? Disclaimer: I am a very sweet, genuine person but I can also be a major bitch working on that.

1. Facebook etiquette. Is there such a thing? No? Well, there should be. I mean really people, how hard is it to know that a paragraph long run on sentence is not ok? Know when to put a period at the end of a sentence. Also, what is up with all the exclamation marks!!! Like oh my goodness!!!! Can you believe that?!!!! I know!!! GAH STOP JUST STOP. Drives me freaking insane. Anyone else have Facebook pet peeves?

2. People that think they are better than me. I do not pretend to think that I am much of anything, and I count my blessings daily. But I am smart, and educated and I *do* know something about some things. So don’t try to put my thoughts or comments down ok? I don’t put you down for yours.

3. Slow drivers. People that don’t use turn signals. Who don’t pay attention when driving and weave all over the road. Or drive so recklessly they put others at danger. I have bad road rage and yell and scream, but I’m still a safe driver. At least I think anyway.

Ok I’m going to stop there because I don’t want to get all worked up over here Happy Hump Day!

Day 20

May 20, 2013January 29, 2015 / LeopardandGrace

MI am quite a bit behind (ok, only two days) but honestly, this weekend just wore me out and I felt like I needed a bit of a technology break. I barely used my laptop or phone, and unplugged from obsessive Pinterest-ing and Instagram-ing. It was a much needed break.

Today’s topic is another deep one, so I’ll keep it brief and then share some photos of our weekend

Day 20: Share something you struggle with

For me — it’s constantly being unsure of myself. Am I a good enough wife? friend? daughter? sister? employee?

My life is very full and busy, and I am so grateful for that. But sometimes I feel like I stretch myself too thin, or I don’t give 100% to something that needs it. Then I feel like I’m failing at everything I’m trying to do. I am working on learning to say “no” to things, to prioritize my time and make sure that everyone (including me!) is happy

On to weekend updates!

My dressing room is nearing completion. I know it doesn’t look that way from this photo!

Gunner made a new best friend. My dear friend Allison and her husband Scott came to visit on Saturday and see our new house, and Gunner was instantly obsessed with them. He even rode on Scott’s lap to the park

Sunday we made our annual Ikea trip! We always look forward to and dread it at the same time. I want to buy everything, and Keith constantly reminds me that it will take us 20 hours to put it together so I should “choose wisely”. Pfft.
