I’m linking up this Wednesday with Shannon from Life After I Dew, another local Ohio blogger, to say SO WHAT if…

… I’ve recently become addicted to The Walking Dead. I’ve been terrified of zombies since before I can remember. I know, I know, … what adult is afraid of zombies!? THIS GAL. But I started watching this season of The Walking Dead with Chad, and it’s completely tolerable. I’ve even picked “favorite” characters. Ha!

… I have neglected my Jawbone Up for the last month. I’m finally back on the wagon (all it needed was a charge!) and I’m ready to count those steps! Oh, and the sleep tracker is mega helpful too!

… I can already tell that the highlight of my week is going to end up being Ari’s weekly Wee Tumbler gymnastics class on Saturday mornings. I mean, there’s hardly any ‘gymnastics’ involved (I didn’t really think there would be), but there is lots of energy spent! Which is my main goal! And?? Baby laughter! TONS of it.

… I’m super excited about Christmas this year. It’s usually a holiday that causes me some panic because of how ‘busy’ it is. But this year we have almost zero on our holiday to-do list! And Ari is going to be old enough to really enjoy it! Hooray!

… I look forward to that solo hour I spend at Target about once a week. I stroll through the aisles slowly, looking for deals, sipping on my latte. Perfection!

• I’m obsessed with “Orange Is The New Black” on Netflix. OMG so good. Ya know what? Gotta hand it to ya, Netflix! First was House of Cards; now Orange is the New Black. Netflix is totally rockin’ it lately.

• the best part of vacation is not having any of our regular “home” responsibilities. Funny thing is? We still have the normal upkeep of  a house, since we’re staying at my aunts vacation home; but it just isn’t our home. And my mind totally knows that! Want me to make the bed? Sure! Laundry? No prob! But at home, these simple chores are something I dread. Obviously vacation makes everything better.

• I’m super bummed that our Toms Zulily order is going to be delivered while we’re on vacay. I totally hoped that they’d be delivered before we left. 🙁 But, upside? We will have Toms waiting for us!! Thank goodness for neighbors who will pick up and hide our deliveries!

• our vacation is consisting of doing pretty much nothing. It’s perfect that way.

• it’s kinda nice to not have had to weigh in yesterday. I searched high and low for a scale in this house, but I can’t find it. Ohhhh, darn! 😉

• I miss cancelled HBO + Showtime shows. Like Big Love. And Entourage. Gotta love a show with a character named Ari. 😉 

• I haven’t had a haircut in months. I swear, I’ve had “make a hair appointment” on my to-do list for the last few months now. I’ve just been, well, busy.

• my newest obsession is “Orange Is The New Black” — a Netflix Original series. It’s funny and adorable.

• my obsession with Honest Diapers is out of control. They are adorable and eco-friendly! And they are shipped to our house! One less trip to Target! (let’s face it — there’s still at least one trip a week!)

• I’m overly excited about going on our first family vacation in just a few short days. We desperately need to get away from the “real” world and kinda just spend some time together being a family of three.

• I’m beyond excited that Pretty Little Liars is back on! Last night I was giddy at the sound of the music! And I don’t care if you judge me for this. I love this completely mindless show.

• one of the proudest moments of the last couple of months has been having both of my hands painted simultaneously. Usually only one set of nails gets painted before I get pulled into another direction [cough-cough — Ari].

• I never posted Ari’s 7-month update. Or his 8-month update. Ya know what happens when you have an 8-month old?? Nothing. Well, nothing but chasing him around. So yeah. Pretty much our lives are consumed by chasing Babycakes around.

• the highlight of my work day is going for runs on my lunch break. I know I could be doing work, but I’ve been totally looking forward to that time spent on the trail with just my running shoes and my music. When I get back to the office, I realize that office politics and drama are not at all what life is about.

• we’re quickly loading up our summer social calendar! I don’t want to avoid doing fun things just because we have a baby. And I don’t necessarily want to leave him behind; I’d rather him have fun and experience fun things with us! Like festivals, parties, etc. Having a baby doesn’t mean staying at home!

• few things make me happier than a sleeping baby, a freshly cleaned house, and an ice cold beer. It’s the simple things, folks!
