hello friends...

how on earth is it the last day of august??? september starts tomorrow which means nugg's bday is only 7 weeks away! how is my baby going to be one year old? zip your lips now all you who like to remind me that i'm totally neurotic - i get it, i know this about myself... BUT, i'm stressing over her 1st party. do i have a pink flower party? do i have a tutu cute birthday party? my cousin sent me a little article about a "tutu cute" party and everything was ballerina themed. LOVED it! and then we got a care package from pita and it had a little pink tutu and ballerina leotard in it. how perfect is that?!?  i know she won't remember her first party, but oh goodness - i want it to be wonderful!

school is moving along. and that's an understatement. we're like shooting through at warp speed. we have our first exams next week. first tests are always nerve wracking. you don't know what to expect, what to focus your study time on and since we must get a 78% overall in the class, there is little room for major errors. oh Lord give my brain the ability to retain a whole lot of info!

the garden is doing well... no little sprouts or anything yet. we're watering it plenty and watching each day for a change :-) i'm afraid this dumb heat is going to fry the little greenies. why on earth is it in the upper 90's still?!? i so need to be running again, we have the warrior dash in like 17 days, but when it's so so hot i can't bring myself to run, especially now that i only have time to go in the evenings.

and in an effort to save some $$$ we switched cable providers. long story short, completely canceling the cable is not an option for us right now, so we found a great deal with AT&T. and whatever, i'll admit it, i love me some tv. i do. nuggie and i are home alone alot and it's nice to have it on. we're totally spoiled with the new package - we have ... DVR!!! holy flat screens! this is going to be amazing when my fav shows start up again next month. i can DVR, study and watch later! and no more forcing bub to watch 19 kids and counting with me. i can record it and watch the jumbo family madness all alone if i like!

** random side note ** i googled "crazy august" just to see if i could find a fun pic for this blog and THIS pic of michele bachmann came up. seems pretty appropriate? look at those crazy eyes :-p
