Summer- y

We got gym passes. I never thought i'd be the type who goes to the gym. the thought of sweating and exercising in a giant room full of sweaty strangers in their fancy workout clothes has always kept me away from the gym. that is, until my friend karina started bringing me along with her free guest passes and i became addicted...so here i am ($300 x 2 later)...a gym go-er. oh yes, and i do not wear fancy gym clothes..i am the most ghetto gym goer at 24 hour fitness. its embarrassing. i'm always on the look-out...hoping that no one i know will see me. i wear leggings, an oversized t shirt, and my mom's old shoes. i refuse to buy expensive clothes that i am going to look gross and be sweating in. i would rather spend money on cute clothes to wear after i sweat at the gym. and i do sweat. a lot. more than andy..if yoou can believe that.but no offense to those who buy gym clothes. i just have a cheap disease. anyways. so far we love it. i'm excited to get rid of my flabby butt cheeks.

We went camping - twice. Camping at the beach is hardly camping. But you do stay in a campground. and you do sleep in a tent. We stayed 3 nights at doheny beach(dana point). and then the following week we stayed 4 nights at carlsbad beach. it was fun. but i dont think i will ever take a 10 month old to a dusty old campsite again...if he could walk at the time it would've been a lot easier to keep him clean. BUT cohen had the time of his life playing in the ocean and eating sand, so i am happy we went eventhough i couldn't really relax the entire time he was crawling in the dusty, spider infested campsite. my computer is having issues, so i can't upload any pictures right now. i will try to fix later...

We did some home repairs. not because we really needed them, but just because i wanted them. okay, lemme explain...

I wanted to repaint my too dark green cave-like bedroom and turn it into a relaxing bright and cheery room. so i started to go on the best home decorating websites to get some ideas:

http://ohdeedoh.com/

http://decorpad.com/

and

http://designsponge.com/

then. i became obsessed. everytime i turned on the computer i had to check and see if they updated anything. then. i started look at my house and wished it would look more like what i saw on the websites, so i ended up redoing my home. here is what we did.

we got rid of our old bulky tv stand and got a skinny one. so we have more room to walk in our ity bitty living room.

we got rid of our old used-to-be-light beige but turned brown carpet. i wish we wouldve done this sooner. its not fancy, but its clean and it feels like heaven on my feet.

we also got rid of the ugly split pea soup green wall paint that i never liked. we settled for a nuetral cafe latte color that i still dont really like (surprise,surprise), but definitly will not be repainting. i'm hoping it will grow on me. i still need some new curtains, pillows, pictures, etc so maybe that will make me like the room more. i hope so.

my light blue, relaxing new bedroom. which is also still a work in progress (need new pillows, pictures,etc). but at least i like the color.
