such an ordeal.

grocery shopping is hard work.

im sure you know this by now, and if you dont you have a rude awakening coming your way.

first you have to (or should) plan what items you need to get. look through your cupboards and fridge and decide what exactly you need.

then you make a shopping list. so you make sure not to forget anything.

then you have to make the trip to the store. ( and those with kids... i have a rude awakening coming my way... SOMEDAY)

then you have to go through aisle after aisle, and in my case back through all the aisles again because i forgot something.

then the checkout. ah. i hate self checkout.

then -well in my case- i forget some random but oh-so-essential items.

so you have to make the trip back.

grocery shopping is hard work. maybe thats why i feel like i need a reward EVERYTIME i go. crap.

a mountain dew and a snickers. dang! i got the king sized one.

perhaps this is the sole reason that when my mom was doing my grocery shopping i was 4 sizes smaller.

wow. im blogging a lot lately. i guess summer is back in full swing because my blog is being updated regularly. and dont worry im happy about it. taryn told me that payback was a jerk- because of my last post... she will forgive me! eventually... :)

i have been dying to decorate lately. it feels like SO long since i have actually taken the time to make my apartment look presentable. and even then... it wasnt so presentable!

for about the first year and a half of our marriage we kept the same apartment (which was decorated- sort of) then we moved to dc- i dont decorate in the summers- then the day that we moved into our next apartment in pocatello, we started school. sadly, almost everything we owned stayed in their boxes. spring semester we moved out and lived on the road. sorry no decorating there either. and now its summer again and i find it useless to decorate this little place of ours...

but DONT WORRY. i am planning! the next place we move into will be decorated to my wits end! i swear it. in fact i told sam we are going to get an apartment at the beginning of august so that i can go and 'prep' it before we actually move in. therefore, things wont stay in their boxes and we will be a much happier pair!

with all of that said, i have been creating the magnificent space that will soon be our apartment in my mind. sam and i really want to use our travels as part of our home decor.

sooo... i was planning on turning a bunch of photos that the two of us have taken into black and whites, but started messing with them and changed the contrast and got kind of these 'pop art' feeling photos. im actually pretty stoked about them. they will definitely bring a unique flare to our place! i havent decided the ones im going to use, but ive done quite a few and still plan on doing more so that my options are plenty!

what do you think?
