I finished The Hunger Games trilogy. I am glad I am done reading it because it was totally worth it! But, the ending was very tragic and sad. It ended the way it had to, but, well, just read it. I think my next reading set will either be The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo or Twilight - any ideas??? I am sad that I have nothing to read, now.
Avery is going through this phase where she wakes up in the middle of the night to talk. Last night, she talked all night. At one point, from about 3:00 am to 4:45, she just talked and fussed. Not cried, just talked. And now that she's found her feet, she will sit in her crib and rock back and forth on her back, holding onto her feet. Is this a normal thing she's doing? I am sure it is, but gotta say. I was liking that she was sleeping the whole night up until now! I finally just got up and turned off the monitor. I can hear her from her room if she's loud enough to really cry, but I don't want to be up all night! This morning, she was pooped!! This picture is dark because I took off the flash so I wouldn't wake her up. She loves sleeping in mommy and daddy's bed in the mornings while we are getting ready.
My dogs eat Purina One, the stuff with the chunks in it. It's really good food, that's why we keep buying it. But they eat all of the chunks out first, leaving a mess of little nuggets all around their bowl. Ever since we've had Molly, this is what we find....
Little trails of food...
Where are they leading??
Here she is!
She will drag mouthfuls of food all over the house and save it for later. Most of the time, Bella comes in behind her and eats it, sometimes it's just Molly. We don't know why she does this, we think it's because of her traumatic entry in the world that she thinks she needs to hoard food. She is never territorial about food or anything, doesn't get mad when you take it from her, this is just Molly for you.
I told you before this year, I had some things I really wanted to do in my life. My bucket list, if you will. I will list some of them for you here:
1) Join a church choir (check)
2) Write, everyday. (sometimes, I write twice or three times, check)
3) Begin to cheaply decorate my house (check)
4) Volunteer at a crisis pregnancy center (working on my application as we speak!)
5) Add color to my wardrobe and get ready and accessorized every day
6) Save at least $1,000 emergency fund and work on a down payment for a house
7) Buy a new (new-to-me) car with cash
8) Remember birthdays, anniversaries, births, and congratulations cards and gifts and send them, by mail!
9) Train Bella to be a therapy dog for a hospital or a nursing home
10) Get in shape (working on it!)
11) Print pictures and actually have real photo albums
These are some of the things I think about every day. If I've said, more than once, "I wish I could be one of those women who...." or "I think it would be really neat to be able to..." then I am going to start actually do it. I feel like I have just given up sometimes, given up trying to have a nice home just because I live in an apartment, given up trying to fix myself up because I am not the weight I want to be, been too lazy to actually send thoughtful things to friends and family. So I am trying to change that, one new habit at a time.
What would be on your bucket list of things that you could start doing right now?
Here is Avery just being Avery. A friend of our family's got her these little orange booties with jingles on it. Now that she's found her feet, she is enjoying these!
