A skinny minny's take on more curvy women


In three days I will have my hubby back. These two weeks have been very crazy. Things have gone pretty well, Sarah sleeps well through the nights and takes at least two 45 minute naps during the day. I think what has helped me the most is joining the gym. Zoning out on a treadmill for 30 minutes is heaven, the Zumba class? well, that is kind of like heaven. I didn't last the full hour on Saturday. Thirty minutes and I was ready two pass out. Hopefully next time I will be a little more prepared.

I am excited to be a part of a gym. Its nice since I am social and like to at least just be around people it gets expensive going to Target to "be around people". The gym, for me, is a money saver.

That isn't the intent of this post though. My sister, Michelle and all my SILs are actually... and my brothers. We moved a lot growing up so I clung to my family for support. My little brother, Justin and I were really close. Until Dan, he was my closest friend. I felt the safest with Justin and in general really looked up to my three brothers. Growing up and even now, what the world thinks is only secondary to my brothers, Justin, Scott and Brandon and my sis Michelle. They defined me. I started out in education in college because my sister was a teacher (and my SIL, Julie as well). I took art classes because Justin was an artist. I loved my church because I shared it with my brother Scott and when I married a military man, I knew I had my brother, Brandon's blessing.

There is something my brothers and BIL, Joe did for me entirely without realizing. I don't even think now they realize it. I've always been a skinny minny, underweight really, scarily underweight at times. To the world that was just right but not to me. You see, my brothers all have married beautiful curvy woman and my sister is a beautiful curvy woman. So for me growing up, if thats what my brothers liked well, thats what was best. So to this day I am a firm believer that full hips, and a nice round booty are the best. I say this to celebrate my brothers and my sisters who have has such an important role in my life. I also say this because Sarah has given me the gift of some fuller hips and a bigger booty. I may go to the gym to destress and stay healthy, but you can bet for me, it isn't to get rid of my new found curves.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
