The hold up

Ok, I did say I'd be back to posting. Well, here's the thing. Yes, there's always a thing. My trusty card reader and my memory card for my cameras are both missing (heaving sobs). Yup, I've been lamenting to the hubs, and still can't find it. It's been missing since the move. YES, THAT LONG AGO. It's somewhere here in this house, and though the hubs and I have searched high and low, we still have not come across it. It must've fallen into the dark void that exists when you have children. So I haven't been able to offload my pics (the USB cable that comes with my camera is having issues and can't handle downloading large video files--LAME!) and post things I want to. Hence, the hold up. 

I will do one more search and rescue mission around the house when I can, and if all else fails, I'm caving in and buying another card reader. However, I do have this on the way, which may help me in the long run. You ask, "Why buy another card reader if you have that on the way?" Because I still need to download the pics from my camera. It's complicated ok. 

Instead, I'll share with you things I'm currently reading and very much into. I've been REALLY into design and fashion blogs lately. As I stated before in a previous post, I'm committing to re-vamping, re-defining me this year. Meaning, having had babies almost back to back, I'm in need of getting out of  "I'm a Mom, so I only wear sweatpants and oversized t's." Not that it's bad, but really, it's no longer my thing. However, I'm not getting rid of those clothes because they're still pretty comfy. I'll drop the hoodies and opt for cute Henleys or at least, textured, light-weight hoodies ;)

I've got my first race since 2006 (gasp!!) lined up for mid May, and I'm super excited. I plan on getting back into doing races and getting back into shape. Not for looks, but for my sanity, because before kids, I was pretty athletic. Below is the first step of a "new" me. Though heavy bangs are last season-I think it's still relevant and different enough for me to pull it off. Also, you can't tell, but I colored my hair a rich, dark auburn.

New haircut. Notice how Micron looks exactly the same in every pic.

Here's a few posts I read this week, that are entertaining, and I think you'll enjoy. I love her blog and her design aesthetic, and her food posts are crave-worthy. Hello, can we say, "luscious." I like to just check-in on this blogger, because she's local, cute, and chic. By the way, stay tuned for the next book plug. Coming Soon. 

Ohh, and have a peek later at the end of April at my food & travel blog, because I'll be reviewing Ad Hoc for the hub's birthday.
