Life Lately

It's Monday and I'm in an exceptionally good mood. I think this can be contributed to a couple of things. Firstly, I'm on day 14 of the No Junk Food Challenge. I first heard of this from my lovely mother-in-law, Sherry, and have since also seen it on Pinterest. While I haven't really lost any weight, I'm feeling great. I feel lighter and less gross inside (does that make sense?), and I definitely have more energy. Also, I'm not craving soda and sweets like I usually do; however, that's not to say I wouldn't still eat a cookie if you put one in front of me! Secondly, I had a really good hot yoga class this morning. The room was heated to about 95 degrees and the class lasted an hour and a half. I was a hot mess by the end, but in a really good way. Lastly, Mike is finally home after being away for Shot Show (a convention on everything and anything gun related) in Las Vegas last week. He was gone for six days! I'm SO glad to have him home again.

So, what does one do while home by themselves for a week you ask? Well, one becomes a professional cat photographer, as evidenced below...

 I call this one Serious Halo. I think she was getting ready to blink or something.

 Halo giving me some cuddles as I was trying to cross-stitch.

Pantera and Halo napping together. Too cute!!!

On Wednesday, Mother Nature decided to dump snow everywhere!! I think this is the most snowfall I've seen since we've moved here. Of course it had to happen while Mike was away. After Wednesday I was too scared to drive anywhere.

 Sorry for the poor quality of this photo, but the window had snow stuck to it.

 The front of our house.

 The back yard.

 My snow feet.

The view looking up our street. That's my poor car there covered in snow!

Of course I also had to get my craft on during the week. I made this bible cover and I'm hoping I can add a monogram to it.

This was my view on Sunday as I drove to pick up Mike from the airport. Sometimes I really miss Florida, but this view really isn't too bad!

So here's to starting the week off right and hopefully continuing with more good mood vibes!!!
