A lot going on around here lately…mostly including back pain and indigestion..woo hoo! Other than that:

1. I FINALLY bought a new vacuum cleaner. If you have DirectTV then you have probably scrolled the guide channel and seen the Shark v. Dyson infomercial that basically plays non-stop. I decided to watch it the other day. Then did a little online research and read some reviews. Now I am the proud owner of the Shark Navigator Lift-Away PRO. It is so amazing! And I found it at Wal-Mart for $178. I just couldn’t bring myself to spend $400 on a Dyson, especially when I’m spending so much right now getting ready for the baby. Anyway. That is my story about a vacuum.

2. So my great friend that I used to work with (she quit and left me all alone!) is now a photographer. We decided to meet up while she was with her family at the beach for a little maternity photo session. I am the world’s most awkward individual in front of a camera so it was a challenge dealing with me, the gale force winds, and uncooperative clouds..but let me tell you..there are some fantastic photos that I can’t wait to share!

3. Rolo brought me Mike’s wallet at 3:30am. Thanks buddy. Since I was awake, I had to get up and pee, put Rolo in his kennel, and then couldn’t go back to sleep. I perused Pinterest and decided I needed to make this fococcia bread recipe today. Yum.

4. Season 2 of Hemlock Grove is now available on Netflix. Hopefully watching this will get me through cleaning today. It is a very strange show, but certainly watchable. Speaking of TV, who is watching the final season of TrueBlood? It is such a let down in my opinion, and we are finding it hard to even get through each episode. I wish the creators had followed the books more closely, aside from keeping Lafayette alive…that was a good decision, everything else has been so off the wall and not well developed. I’m a critic on the side yall.

Good luck trying to be more exciting than me.
