So this is a super random post for no other reason than I am trying to keep myself busy (and distract myself from over thinking little things that are freaking me out just a tiny bit) while I am home alone. First, let me establish that I am a big girl and am usually not afraid of being home alone. I usually am just fine and sometimes even enjoy it. Today, however, is not one of those days. I have been home since noon and will be home alone until 9:30 tonight.... Usually Brandon comes home right after work and he's usually in the door by 6:45, which is fabulous! But tonight he had to go work on a project for a final in one of his classes. So here I am. Home alone.
I'm not going to say that I didn't take advantage of my time alone in the house. I went on a nice walk while the sun was shining beautifully and I didn't even have to wear a jacket! Short sleeves baby! It was great. I've come to really love going on walks, and love to go on one every day!
I also broke out my paints and brushes and started a painting. I have decided to paint a picture of our cabin (where we are living, incase you were confused). It's so picturesque and quaint. I love it. The yard still needs a ton of work and is not so picturesque at this moment in time, but it has been in the past, and will be in the future. So, in my painting I am painting how the house will look when we get the yard and such cleaned up. I'm excited about it and hope it turns out (both the yard and the painting! haha). It felt so good to hold a paint brush again. It's been far too long since last I painted. Hopefully it will become a common 0ccurence like it used to be.
Painting for four hours kind of wears on you after a while, so after I had had my fill of painting and jamming out to the Xanadu Broadway soundtrack, I decided to take a break by watching Tangled. Yes, I'm sometimes pathetic. It's ok. I love that movie so freaking much. It seriously makes me so happy. Kudos to Disney for making such a fabulous film. And thank you mom for letting us have the DVD that came with your BluRay! So yes, I watched Tangled alone, cuddled up in my bed, which incidentally is not as much fun or comforting without my hubby, with a bag of almonds to snack on, and listened to the storm roll in.
Now, the movie is over, it's getting dark, my house is freezing, and there are some weird noises on my roof. I'm sure it's just a bird or something, but still... kinda freaking me out. (side note: the spell check says Xanadu and BluRay are wrong, but doesn't think "kinda" is wrong... My spell check is so hip) I know everything will be fine and that I live in a good neighborhood and such, but I would just feel better if Brandon would come home quickly. It's just one of those days.
On another note, I am still doing well with my eating healthy stuff! I had a delicious lunch of strawberries, grapefruit, almonds, and turkey and have been snacking on almonds and dried apricots to keep my blood sugar up but not over do it. I feel good. Eating healthy does that to a person. AND I've already lost 4 pounds. Heeeeee! I can do this. Only 26 pounds to go. Hahaha.....
