Well, I admit it...I've run out of steam! I am not quite sure what 7 things to write about this week...
How do you find the energy and time to write about something when it feels like your whole life is falling apart at the seams? Maybe it has just been an emotional week, but I just haven't been able to hold it in all that well. I admit, my housework has been severely neglected, I've been too harsh with the kids, my diet has sucked and I'm at odds with my husband. I feel like curling up into a ball and staying in my own little world without any outside interference.
Could it be the changing of the seasons? Fall happened right on time this year, no Indian Summer here. As soon as September 22nd rolled around, the weather changed dramatically. Isn't it fascinating how nature just knows what to do? It just amazes me how quickly it happened this year.
I know it isn't time for "that", if you catch my drift, so I am not quite sure what is going on with me. I just need a "perk me up", not a "pick me up"...something needs to perk me up.
Let me know if you can think of anything that might help, I can't seem to crawl out of this funk. I need to though, because my husband is coming home in a week or so, and I have to plan my middle daughter's birthday party and prepare for that as well.
I need something to snap me out of it.

Sunday Seven
This week's 7 Things/Sunday Seven is about me! 7 *hopefully* interesting things about me.
1. I met my hubby on the internet in a yahoo chat room! We've been married almost 9 years now, and met 10 years ago. He is the love of my life.
2. I have at one point in my life, been able to understand Dutch, but not speak it. Been able to understand German and speak it a little. In high school, I was practically fluent in French, but have since lost it, and can understand some of it still. I've also studied Russian, and known some Japanese, and Spanish. I like languages.
3. I have a *crush* on Edward from "Twilight". lol (I not so secretly wish to be Mrs. Cullen. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go read the books! lol)
4. My hubby and I spent our first year of marriage in Germany. Our twins were almost born there. We'd move back if we could! I prefer Europe to the US/Canada. *gasp*
5. At certain times in my life I have aspired to be a Nurse, Veterinarian, Archaeologist, and a Scientist at the CDC studying Ebola! I think being a mommy I could be classified as almost all of those, except the Ebola part and Archeology. I'm always a nurse to the kids, I take care of 3 pets and have nursed one of them back to health numerous times. And as for being a scientist, well I may not study Ebola, but I certainly have to study poop, boogers, pee, worms, leaves, sticks, pill bugs, bees, rocks, frogs etc etc often enough. lol.
6. My favorite books are the "Twilight" saga, "London", "Pillars of The Earth", Harry Potter series, "His Dark Materials" (first book is "The Golden Compass"), and "Earth's Children" series. I love to read and I can become so engrossed in a book that its like I am there myself. Books are one of my best friends.
7. I love photography and taking pictures. I have even won a Blue Ribbon first prize for one of my photos!

OK, last week I promised to share 7 funny pictures from my cell phone. Here they are:
Our dog Braddock. Yep, we like to dress him up!
This creepy ass spider I found on our deck a couple months ago. It is some form of jumping spider.
A picture of the card I sent to my Father in Law for his birthday last March.
Just a funny picture I found online and sent to my hubby via mms/text messaging.
My Cat Zeus, Zeusy, Suez (all his nicknames)
Sorry I couldn't flip this one, but it was on the birthday card I sent to my Mom last June.
And last, but not least, the mural that is painted outside the women's locker room at my YMCA. Star Trek!! LOL
Enjoy! Next week I'll try to do something a little more insightful.

In honor of my impending misery this week due to dieting, I am going to tell you about 7 things I like to eat! Junk food this week, which coincidentally has led to my downfall. In no particular order:
Twizzlers
Brownies...omg I LOVE Brownies!
Papa Murphy's Chicago Style Stuffed Pizza. The BEST Pizza ever made.
Lay's Salt and Vinegar chips...either the Lays Stax or regular S&V in the bag
Peanut M&Ms. I have a certain way of eating these, doesn't everyone? OK, maybe I'm just strange. I love to bite all the chocolate off and then eat the peanut.
Jelly Bellys. We went to the outlet mall last weekend for back to school shopping, and the candy shop had bulk Jelly Bellys! I tried a new one, Pomegranate, that was amazing! My favorites are pear, buttered popcorn, and raspberry.
And last, but not least, Cheesecake! Baked only though, and I adore it! This is a picture of Dutch Apple Streusel Cheesecake that I got for my birthday when I went out with some girl friends. It was soooo good! But oh so rich! (please pardon the bad lighting, it was taken with my cell phone)
Next week, look for 7 funny pictures from my cell phone!

I though I would end each week with 7 things. It can be anything I want, 7 things I am happy about, sad about, thankful for, excited about...you get the picture!
Tonight will be 7 things I am happy about!
1: My contacts are getting easier and easier to wear!
2: New hair cuts/styles do wonders for your self esteem...go get one today! I did and I feel fantastic. I had 8" cut off the length and got it layered. My hair was half way down my back. I almost donated to locks of love, but I wasn't ready to go that short. 10" is what is required and that would have been a bit too much for me.
3: Jeans that I bought a month ago were too tight, and now they fit!
4: I got to go out by myself today, without the kids
5: School starts in 3 days!!
6: I finally found a silver box chain that doesn't pull my hair, to hold my locket that hubby got me for Xmas last year.
7: I have an awesome pair of sunglasses that I can wear now because I have contacts, and I can also wear a head band now too if I want.
So what about you...what are 7 things you are happy about?
