Now is the time of year that the days just start flying by . It will be January before we know it .
So it has been 11 weeks since my last day of work . Here are all the things that I have been doing .
one Working on my cleaning schedule I have been working on this one since day one . My main 'job' now is keeping our home clean and organized . I can't tell you how many times I have changed it , but I'm sure it's going to change more . Here is my current schedule . . .

source source source
He is just loving card games right now and it is really a lot of fun to play with him . I am on the lookout for more card games everywhere I go . It's really fun when all three of us play Uno and Dash beats us three times in a row . . . without any help .
four Collecting ornaments to make an ornament wreath . . .

source I have bought a set of round ball ornaments at almost every store I have gone to in the past couple of weeks . I have 103 so far . . . I'm hoping that's enough . I need to purchase a glue gun , glue and a round base .
five I love and am addicted to Pinterest . There is so much inspiration , it's hard not to get inspiration overload . The big trick with Pinterest is to actually take a break from pinning and make something that you have pinned . This is my most popular board . . .

I have 827 pins and 82 followers of this board .
I have 48 other boards such as . . . Journal Inspiration Studio Inspiration I Can Make This

seven Working out . . . I've been doing really well for the past two weeks . I was off and on and really buckled down . I have been going to the gym on Monday , Wednesday and Friday . I've been trying to build up my stamina by briskly walking or doing the elliptical . 5 minute warm up , 30 minutes at 3.5 or 59% , 5 minute cool down Then , on Tuesday and Thursday I go to the lake and conquer the Big Hill . I walk around the lake to warm up , then go up the hill , then back down and around the lake again . Here are some photos of the Big Hill . . .

Above is the view of the hill you get when you are walking around the lake .

This is walking up the hill .

This is the view when you get to the very top of the hill . It's brutal , but once I do it I feel so good .
eight Hobby Lobby has come to California ! ! There is still not one open in San Diego , but there is one in Temecula , which is 28 miles north of my house . Yay , yay , yay . . . I so love Hobby Lobby . Here are some things I am loving and are on my list to buy in the future . . .

I have always wanted a dollhouse to decorate , it just takes time and money . They have the cutest Hello Kitty party decorations . They have huge clock hands . I want a huge clock on my wall and this is the way to do it ! There was so much to look at that I didn't get as many photos as I should have . I was distracted , what can I say .
nine We have been putting together Dash's Christmas List . Here is what is on the list so far . . .
