Dear self,

Never thank Autumn for the Swine Flu because next thing you know, you're laying in bed with the blasted sickness.

Dear Autumn,

I love you. You have made me smarter, healthier, and more tired. Thank you for your lovely smells and crunchy leaves. Thank you for your raking workouts. Thank you for the family time you have provided. Thank you for beginning the joy of the Christmas spirit. Thank you for the mini snow flurries and thanks for keeping them mini. Thank you for the taste of pumpkin and the warmth of recently turned-on heaters. Thank you for the chance to set new goals and pursue them. Thank you for the "bundled up" look...it's my favorite. Thank you for orange, green, brown, purple, and mustard in our wardrobes. Thank you for warm hats, especially on baby Ethan. Thank you for the swine flu so that BYU professors are being more lenient this semester. Thank you for visitors like Alane and Chloe. Thank you for football games. Thank you for Hot Cocoa from McDonalds. Thank you for pumpkin bread from Kneaders. Thank you for new friends. Thank you for old friends. Thank you for wreaths on front doors and reds and greens appearing in stores. Thank you for Diet Pomegranate 7Up. Thank you for hospitals and good doctors. Thank you for Franklin Covey planners. Thank you for Biggest Loser. Thank you for Johnson Girl Game Nights. And lastly, thank you for the gospel. I'd be sad without it.

Love, Annalece

It's here!

Your favorite songs are now playing on this little blog. If you forgot to share your favorite, it's not too late. Leave a comment and I'll add yours to the list.

P.S. if you don't see your song on here, it's because playlist.com didn't have it. Pick another!

this week...in a list (as usual)

• This week I said something VErrrrY stupid
• I missed a workout
• I forgot my cell phone charger for 3 days...that's why I didn't call you back
• I let a certain someone get the best of me
• I burned the chicken
• I let the squash go bad
• I got SUPER behind in the Book of Mormon challenge
• I looked homeless aaaaallll day long Saturday
• I didn't make my bed
• I spent too much $

which left me feeling like this:

As a result of that hot mess...

• I will think before I speak
• I will not miss ANY workouts
• I will return calls and texts
• I will be patient
• I will not eat chicken
• you guessed it, squash is out too
• I will catch up in the BoM
• I will not let myself look homeless
• I will make my bed
• I will follow my budget (especially since it's time to pay the bills)

ALL WEEK LONG!

This is funny:

I really want to color on the walls with these:

I spend a ridiculous amount of time here:

I am starting to look just like the guy on the logo. They're thinking of using me for the next one.

I look like this every night around 12:00 am:

and, my phone and camera are recovering from a Friday night bath in this:

what are YOU currently?

Michael Buble is sayin' it best. Just listen.
