Beautiful Flowers...
brighten my mood a little.  I'm going to share pictures of how the flowers in Lydia's garden are doing...but Mike has the site set-up so I can't put the picture gallery until the end of this blurb.

So, I referenced my mood.  Guess I should explain a little.  I've been feeling kinda down lately.  I can't pinpoint exactly why (it was especially bad for me Saturday morning when it was raining and our plans were changed) and can only say I've felt blah and unmotivated.  I will say, honestly, that I did wean myself from Wellbutrin (that was prescribed for me back in January) this past month.  I probably took the last pill a little over a week ago.  Hmmm...is this a direct correlation?  I don't know.  I was feeling pretty good, normal, balanced a month ago and felt I didn't need the prescription anymore.  That's what those drugs do to you though, huh??  Sure, my mood and overall mentality lately could have something to do with the way I'm living!!!  My diet is out of whack, I'm lacking in the exercise department AND I don't get enough sleep.  Yeah, that all adds up.  I know if I worked on all of those areas, I could ONLY feel better and healthier.  It's so much easier said than done, but I'm going to set some goals.  Anyway, Lydia's pretty flowers bring a little sunshine and happiness into my life right now.

In other news...
Alex and I washed the Jeep today at the house...a good outdoor activity on this nice day.  He loved washing his bike, Big Wheel and scooter as well.

Solicitors are annoying.  We NEED to get one of the signs for our door because I don't want to deal with them anymore.  I would not have answered the door today if it wasn't for my 3 year old who immediately looked out the front window after the doorbell rang and yelled, "Mommy, it's two guys!"  Solicitors are especially annoying when they fake a British accent.  I'm sorry but I just knew this guy was not from the UK.

So, I discovered a difficult card to shop for while at CVS this evening.  A wedding card for one's mom, haha.  They don't make them!!  Well, I bet Hallmark would have something more specific like that.  I realize it's not the typical card.....but I really didn't think much of it until I was trying to find one.  So, unfortunately, she'll be getting more of a general wedding card.  Congratulations to my mom and Dave (Nonna and Grumpy) who are getting married in Reno, Nevada on Thursday!!  I will sadly not be there to witness the event...however, an interesting, eclectic group of people will be.  I'm glad they will have some friends and a little family to witness their union and celebrate right then and there with them.

As we were returning from a couple of errands tonight, I said to Alex, "Did you love that Cotton Candy yesterday?" (It was the first time he had had it...at the Elston Family Carnival) and he faintly answered, yeah.  He fell asleep as we were pulling into our neighborhood...at 7:30, woo hoo!  So, he's been in bed for a while now.  I hope he sleeps well through the night and is not up at the crack of dawn.  He did go to bed late last night and woke up too early this morning, so is making up for it apparently.  And I'm fine with that :-)

I rented Definitely, Maybe tonight from Redbox, my most favorite place to rent movies.  I'm looking forward to watching it shortly...I've heard only rave reviews about it.  Oh, and did you know that you can get a free movie (one night's rental--$1 worth) every Monday through this site?  They post the coupon code that you just enter in at the kiosk every Monday, it's great!

Here are the pics....have a good night, everyone.
