Maternity Leave

So today was my last day of work and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

It's weird because for a long time all I thought about was how wonderful it would be to be off and chill, but the worries have started to set in. I have so much to do, but don't know where to start. Then there's the part in which I have to actually give birth that suddenly hit me like a brick. LOL.

I'm hopeful I have an easy labor and that it's as pain free as possible, but really I think it's mostly because last weeks strep b test went so rough that I got scared. I mean it hurt, so I can't take that out of my head... but i'm gonna have to.

Any who, what I really want to do is plan my things to do. So here's my list (in no particular order).

1. Wash my car
2. Install car seat
3. Wash baby clothes, blankets, etc.
4. Paint play room
5. Buy stroller
6. Deep clean house
7. Take daily walks
8. Go to nearby gardens/arboratums
9. Go to the beach
10. Groom the pups
11. Finish packing my hospital bag
12. Cook at home
13. Visit nearby parks
14. RELAX

I'm pretty sure there are a million other things I want and need to do, but with pregnancy brain these are  all I could remember. LOL. 

Any suggestions?

30 Day Challenge-Day 1

Yesterday as I was bored to death going through my Twitter timeline I came up on a link for a 30 day Challenge. It looked like a good one, so I'm gonna take it on. should be fun :)


DAY 1-Weird things you do when you're alone
When I'm alone I'm at my most comfortable. I'll dance and sing while cleaning. Sometimes if I'm really into it I'll even interview myself. You know as if I was a famous celebrity... lol. I've done that since I was little. I really do get a kick out of it. And sometimes, on hot humid days I'll walk around naked just to prove to myself that I can do it. Weird. I know. LOL.

My Bucket List

Recently I found this website called Bucket List . It's pretty much a place in which you write down everything you'd like to accomplish before well, kicking the bucket. LOL. While looking at some of the items on other people's bucket lists I realized I'm not alone. Some things I really want to do while others I've been blessed to have done. So with that said, I decided to make one. It was going to be 35 by 35, but that's like tomorrow and I don't know if that's too soon! Ha ha ha! So in no particular order here goes:

1. Drive in Europe
2. Visit Europe (Italy, Paris, France, Spain, etc)

7. Learn how to do eye make-up
8. Attain my weight goal of 128-125lbs.

10. Get a college degree
11. Road trip across the US.
12. Take a break from work

I mentioned earlier that I'm off on vacation from work. I have soooo much I want to do, so I decided to create a list. There's really nothing too big because I won't have the $, but I'm just glad I'll get to get out and discover my beautiful city of Los Angeles =).
