Thoughts on Thursday

I kinda like life without cable.  OK limited cable.  We have basic and a few extra channels {Style, TLC & MTV2} so basically there is nothing on TV, ever. I mean if it's not on Bravo! I don't watch it so, yeah, I"m not watching much of anything these days and it's kinda nice.  Also Big Brother starts today and OMG am I excited!  Thank God my downgraded service lets me keep the DVR.

I sent out Kendall's birthday invitations yesterday. I cannot believe my baby girl is going to be two-years-old!  Didn't I just plan her 1st birthday?  I mean, seriously?  How does this happen? Although I'm so excited for her party, she's going to freak when she sees all the Doe-rah.  EEK!  So excited.
*
Notice how I haven't done another link up for the 30 day/300 ab challenge?  Well that's because I've been a slacker.  I've still been doing it, just not religiously like before, and it definitely shows.  I'm embarrassed.  I know a lot of girls have just started and are seeing great results already and now they are motivating me.  So maybe we'll have a link up soon.  Maybe.
*
Speaking of fitness, we have The Color Run in two weeks.  I was so super pumped when we signed up, then I got kinda blah about it, but now that I'm starting to see the pics from other cities I'm getting pumped again.  I know I won't be able to run the entire time, especially if this heat keeps up, but I know it will be a good time and I'll be with good people.  What more could you want?!
*
I need a new book to read.  This year I've already read more books than the previous 2 years combined so I'm on a streak and I want to keep going.  I've read Bloom and the 50 Shades trilogy so try something else.  I don't do Nicholas Sparks books so don't even go there.  Oh and if you even mention Hunger Games, I'll cut you.  I hated Twilight and Harry Potter was OK for one book, if that gives you any idea where I'm going with this.  I thought about reading Room but fear that it's going to be too much for my mom heart to handle.  Help!
*
Jimmy and I signed up for Netflix.  Yeah welcome to the 21st century, right?  We don't agree on movies, ever, but we do agree on TV shows.  We just finished Sons of Anarchy {well caught up to current}, we're currently finishing up Entourage, and up next is Dexter. I really am glad we did this because it saves a lot of fights when it comes to "movie night".
*
You know how I posted the picture of Kendall making the formations with her diapers the other day?  Well it's gotten more interesting from there.  She's been lining up EVERYTHING.  I posted more pictures on Instagram and I've gotten comments telling me that it's a sign that she's ready to read and that it could mean she's gifted.  I can't say I didn't burst with pride when I read those statements.  I guess only time will tell but in the mean time I'm enjoying seeing what she comes up with next.

  1. I'm so excited to see how KP's birthday comes out!!! I really wish that we lived closer, how cool would it be to attend each others parties? Ugh, damn distance!

  2. Room was super sad! Bared to You: A crossfire novel was good and similar to 50 shades (minus the inner goddess and bondage). Divergent is really good too.

  3. I'm in the process of reading all of John Green's books (Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska have been my favorites). They're YA, but not in the way Hunger Games and Twilight are (gag). Other favorites: Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist and The Color of Water by James McBride. Hope that gives you some ideas :)

  6. Room was pretty interesting. It was tough at first but I don't think that it was too hard to get through being a mother. I've heard only wonderful things about Unbroken and hope to read that one soon.

  10. Can you post another ab challenge linkup so I get motivated to start, please?!

    Also - you'll love Netflix. We use it almost 70% of the time for TV shows and we LOVE it!

  12. What kind of books do you like? I am getting ready to start the Game of Thrones.. not my style normally, but I have heard nothing, but great things about them.

    If you want something girl.. The Bride Quartet was a good series too. =)

  13. We have Netflix but since we live in Canada we don't get all the same programming as the US Netflix - it makes me very sad lol. And that's awesome that KP might be ready to read :)

  14. Love Netflix and you will too!! I am definitely wanting to do the Ab Challenge...I mean for goodness sake..I printed out all the exercises. It's just finding the time without kiddos crawling over me to do it!

  15. I love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books; the Sookie Stackhouse books are fun and trashy! I also love all of the books by Emily Giffin, Defending Jacob was VERY good. Also, the book thief, I read a trashy cheap amazon book called sleeping with Paris. That was interesting...

  17. I just cancelled our netflix but my son keeps buggin to turn it back on. I don't really watch to much Tv either... don't really have time to. I HEART my dvr too. So when I do get a chance.(a moment to myself) to watch my shows I can. About books have you signed up for good reads? It keeps track of all the books you have read and all the books you want to read. Plus it give you reviews from other people who have read the books. You can also add friends and follow what they are reading
