Confessions and Weekly Pinterest

This weeks confessions:

~I really just can not resist eating chips, especially potato chips. Tuesday I skipped lunch, but then sat down to watch a little tv while Gus napped and ate chips and some salsa I made last week. It tasted so good..... I'm going to regret it when I get on the scale tomorrow.

~I should be picking up my house right now, but I'd rather be on my computer..

~I am really sucked into Downton Abbey. Back when I was single and lived alone, I would get really into a movie or series. For example, I love Jane Austen movies, and I would watch them all the time. Then I would listen to the soundtracks. And then I would be researching quotes... You get the picture. I am thinking about buying the soundtrack to Downton season 1. The haunting melody is amazing.

~Josh and I went to the symphony last Saturday night. The music was really beautiful. I played the violin for 8 years and the piano for 13. I majored in music my freshman year of college. I injured my wrist, and I rarely play anymore- mostly because we don't have a piano right now. When I hear a really good piece of music, I miss my music days. I love to play the piano. I know one day I will play a lot again.

~On a similar note, growing up my life centered around music. I took violin and piano lessons. I played the piano at church. I was in choirs. I played in several orchestras. And now- I only serenade Gus sometimes. I want Gus to have the same appreciate for music that Josh and I have. It is an invaluable gift.

~This morning, I spent a long time in the car driving. The radio stations I usually listen to were playing commercials or songs I didn't like. So, I ended up listening to the BBC for an hour. I felt so old, when did I become an adult?



Now, some ideas I have from Pinterest:

I think installing frames around the mirrors in both our bathrooms would add so much!

I believe this is true. Beauty comes from within- the light in your eyes...

We will be having an interesting few days at our house. I am dogsitting my sister's new dog. I will have pictures soon- she is really cute.
